By Bob Bloom The following titles are being released on Tuesday, Oct. 16, unless otherwise noted: Ant-Man and the Wasp (Blu-ray + digital) Details: 2018, Marvel Studios Rated: PG-13, science fiction action and violence The lowdown: “Ant-Man and the Wasp” is a fun respite, especially after the harrowing events in “Avengers: Infinity War.” “Ant-Man and the Wasp” is a movie you can simply sit back and enjoy. It’s tethered to Earth — no aliens nor supervillains within a light year of the film. It’s more action-comedy than a superhero saga. The movie is confident and steady, a pleasant mixture of thrills, laughs and CGI, with a likable cast — mainly Paul Rudd as Scott Lang a k a Ant-man — and a straightforward storyline to hold your interest — at least till next year’s “Captain Marvel” and “Avengers” sequel. Critics thought so as well, giving the movie an 88 percent fresh rating at Rottentomatoes.com.
