You’re reading this because Paramount wouldn’t show me “Transformers: Age of Extinction.” That’s not necessarily a bad thing, considering there’s virtually no way Michael Bay’s latest toy catalog could be as distinctive or surprising as the indie comedy, “Obvious Child.”
Here’s a look at this week’s new movies: “The German Doctor,” “Obvious Child,” “Transformers: Age of Extinction” and “Under the Electric Sky.”
