Overall it feels a stretch to categorize “Lightyear” as a “Toy Story” entry. The connection’s tangential and the film’s far too plot driven, leaving it not all that emotionally deep.

The old Grafton was a high-ceilinged, open space with large-screen TVs over the bar; the new one has a cozy, library-like ambiance that says scotch, cigars and informed academic discourse – vintage Harvard, if you will – but a solid menu with small plates that will delight, especially when it comes to shellfish.

The latest dino theme park installment tries to do too much with too little. It’s not so much that it’s too long – okay, at two and a half hours, it is – but that it tries to weave two franchises into an unnecessarily complex plot that has world-hopping aspirations as well as deep-creviced conspiracies. We get cool new CGI dinos to gawk at, but little else.

The main item Shy Bird offers is half and whole roasted birds (you see them slow roasting as you get your waitlist number at the host stand) as well as a ranch-fried chicken sandwich that looks juicy and sinful. In its Umami Bowl, fried or roasted chicken is listed as an extra … but you should consider it mandatory.

David Cronenberg purists who burn for his “Scanners,” “Videodrome” and “Rabid” will be happy to hear that “Crimes of the Future” marks a devilish return to the director’s fetish-fueled eroticization of gore and body mutilation.

It’s been a while, but the cozy pub interior of R.F. O’Sullivan & Son is still a homey place to rub elbows and take in a Celtics or Sox game and still the place to go for a plump, juicy burger cooked on an open-flame grill and served with meaty, golden onion rings.

Hard to believe it’s been 35 years since Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer tangled in the Danger Zone, but If you put “Top Gun” and the long-cooking sequel “Top Gun: Maverick” on the tarmac together, the newer one would leave the other in its vapor trail with relative ease.

You can’t find gumbo too easily around this town, so it’s good news that The Boiling Crab is finally open in Harvard Square.

These looks at what’s on screens in the coming week include selections for Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month and The Brattle’s “Reunion Week” as well as the Somerville Theater returning Sam Peckinpah’s “The Wild Bunch” to its full size, more “Hard Boiled Double Feature” and the dark new Amazon romp “Emergency.”

“Men” is an all-consuming cinematic experience at the intersection of paganism and Christianity, religious sexual repression and gender oppression. If his film doesn’t say much that’s new about men and women, director Alex Garland still pushes the boundaries in finding ways to say it.
