    Major League
    There is nothing wrong with grade-A prime aged Angus beef, but sometimes all you really want is a McDonald’s hamburger. “Major League” is the quarter pounder with cheese of baseball movies. There’s nothing original about it, all the characters are stolen from other books or movies, but it understands the longings of a starved baseball town, and manages to wring out plenty of laughs from familiar situations.
  2. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
    For Carmen, Tibby, Lena, and Bridget, their sisterhood shines even brighter the second time around.
  3. A Christmas Story Christmas
    Fans of A Christmas Story, and those simply in the mood for a holiday flick, will enjoy A Christmas Story Christmas for the light, nicely touching tale that it is in its own right, without the pressure of having to be as perfect as something as legendary as the leg lamp.
  4. Annabelle Comes Home
    Somehow, we get a new Annabelle movie that develops its own personality and takes on the lore without rewriting or undoing anything that has already been shown in the other films.
  5. The Giant
    Try as I might, I can’t quite shake nor stop thinking about The Giant, and that makes me believe Raboy’s done something very, very right, here – even if you might have to squint a bit to see it.
  6. Kill the Monsters
    Lonergan announces himself as a talent to watch with Kill the Monsters. He’s just gaining momentum. If he tones down his embellishments and tightens his focus, he could very well reach the leagues of the greats that so clearly inspired him.
  7. Stander
    That all the events filmed actually took place make Stander a highly entertaining ride.
  8. Being Julia
    Szabo could have made a conventional melodrama...The director takes an alternate route and offers his viewers a drama burnished with a coat of comedy.
  9. American Dharma
    He has the capacity to both enlighten and infuriate simultaneously, making it impossible to take our eyes away from the beautifully shot trainwreck before us. American Dharma is the height of that signature Errol Morris style.
  10. MakeSHIFT
    make|SHIFT serves as a lively look into the ad landscape. It also is an inspirational account for young artists looking to enter the marketing/advertising industry.

    Pokémon Detective Pikachu
    This film could have been an excellent introduction to the world of Pokémon but alas it’s a squandered opportunity.

    Irreversible
    Let me set the record straight: Gaspar Noé is the real deal. Is he excessive? Yes. Manipulative? Sure. Pretentious? Absolutely. But, he’s also one of the most exciting filmmakers on the planet.
  13. Edge of Isolation
    Insofar as low-budget horror goes, The Edge of Isolation is successful at exploring its subject matter without becoming to cheesy or hackneyed. The acting and writing are good, as well as the score and cinematography. I think Houkal, who is also a prolific actor, has a good career ahead of him as a filmmaker.
  14. Trial by Fire
    The performances are inspired.
  15. The First Purge
    As far as “summer movies” go, this one is a ride that’s worth taking, and will not leave you disappointed! It’s fun, and it’ll make you think, so what more can you really ask for?
  16. Club Dread
    Broken Lizard manages to poke fun at the genre without falling into the trap of recycling old Scooby-Doo jokes.
  17. World Traveler
    World Traveler did seem completely aimless for the first third. However, once I comprehended where Freundlich was going with this, I began to really enjoy where the film was taking me.

    Altered Minds
    Michael Z. Wechsler’s The Red Robin delivers a quality mystery; a psychological thriller hidden within the trappings of familial drama.

    Gran Torino
    Gran Torino is not a masterpiece. It’s a fun character drama that features a knowing but winning final performance by Clint Eastwood and just enough commentary to make it worth discussing.
  20. Sobibor
    Sobibor may not fully do justice to the Russians’ involvement in WWII, yet it certainly serves as a powerful reminder that the nation, so ostracized by the US these days, has plenty of heroes of its own. Hopefully, it makes enough of a dent Stateside to help the less-aware think outside the box.
  21. Lake Placid
    While we do get a bit of gore, the movie is really about this wacky bunch of people jumping on each other's nerves, kind of a zany hero's journey.
  22. Days of the Whale
    Days of The Whale is a quiet, beautiful coming of age story.

    Lovely & Amazing
    In this era of fluffy, big-budget Hollywood "chick flicks", it's pretty refreshing to find a film that genuinely deals with women, family, self-image and survival.
  24. Children of the Enemy
    Children of the Enemy will give nuance to your understanding of the Syrian conflict, radicalization, and issues revolving around resettlement and citizenship.
  25. The Tiger's Apprentice
    The cast is a high point for the film, elevating the narrative and adding extra personality to each character.
  26. Out of Sight
    Clooney has finally made a GOOD movie.
  27. Roma
    The tender story addressing the oppression of domestic workers includes brilliant moments of humanity, making the film attractive to the average viewer, but this film would not have received such praise had it come from a lesser known director.
  28. The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl
    Almost emblematic of the nonsense and insanity that pervades university campus life, Night Is Short, Walk On Girl is a fun and entertaining ride, though its dissatisfying conclusion and weak ability to transition between ideas may leave audiences feeling a little underwhelmed.
