  1. Gunpowder Milkshake is fast, direct, and honestly more fun than I expected it was going to be.
  2. Fast! Furious! Family! Vroooommm!
  3. Trashy, deliberately and provocatively fun, The King's Man does for spy movies what The Suicide Squad did for superheroes.
  4. Perfectly serviceable slice of big screen weirdness. This slick psychological drama is a glossy, stylishly surreal thriller with something to say, featuring an endless array of gorgeous fashions and Florence Pugh on excellent form. What more do you want?
  5. Reminiscence is an assured big-screen debut from Lisa Joy, playfully recreating classic movie tropes with a modern twist.

    Elvis is a compelling watch, with all the glitz and glamor you'd expect for a Presley biopic, but it skews more towards an ode to Luhrmann's cinematic style than an ode to the King.

    While I appreciate that Eternals takes a creative risk with its time-jumping events, its convoluted plot ultimately lets it down.
  6. It's a lot of fun, until it becomes clear that making jokes about heist movies is not the same as actually making a good heist movie.
  7. The Uncharted movie may pilfer from assorted better films, but it's a victimless crime.
  8. The new 2022 Hellraiser does some cool stuff when it reaches the back stretch, although the two-hour-long film spends way too long spinning its wheels to get there. It won't tear your soul apart, but at least it's a drop of fresh blood for a series that didn't deserve to stay dead.
  9. A brand new remake of the classic Disney animation sanitizes the aging cartoon's more dubious elements, but still manages to be bizarre as all get out -- and in fact, this awkward mash-mash of digital effects and live action adds new levels of weird.
  10. A case of diminishing returns as more fan-pleasing references and Easter eggs are hurled at the screen like a speed run through a prop museum.

    A straightforward horror mystery with a few tricks up its sleeve, Choose or Die's nostalgia factor and charming leads will ensure you make it to the unnerving end.

    If you're looking for a good old-fashioned espionage thriller, All the Old Knives ticks most of the boxes -- as long as those boxes don't include suspense or trench coats or general spycraft.
  11. Old
    Life's a beach and then you die.
  12. Based on a nerve-shredding Danish thriller, this US remake loses something in the translation.
  13. Jurassic World: Dominion splices nostalgic eras and movie genres and just about any other DNA it can lay its hands on. The result is a primordial soup of a few entertaining scares, but it's sixty-five million years away from making any sense.

    Love and Thunder doesn't live up to the incredible stories that inspired it. It neither leans into its director's style or maximizes its cast's dramatic potential, feeling more like a shallow, unsatisfying mashup.
  14. Moonfall could be some kind of arch meta-comment on the excesses and artifice of the Hollywood zeitgeist. Or maybe it's just the dumbest movie ever.
  15. Home Sweet Home Alone exists, you already paid for Disney Plus, who cares.
  16. Jared Leto stars as a sulking, skulking vampire in a bloodless and boring comics adaptation desperately riding the coat-tails of the Marvel movie powerhouse.
  17. All the slow-burning cinematography in the world can't disguise that Without Remorse is assembled almost entirely from creaky spy/action movie cliches.
  18. Space Jam 2's desire to tap into the nostalgia associated with its predecessor leaves the sequel feeling unoriginal and predictable.
  19. The Snyder Cut: Still a mess, now a million years long.
