    The real heart and soul of the picture is Cage’s on-screen bromance with Pedro Pascal’s Javi. Their chemistry carries the movie into far more memorable territory, and more than makes up for a few of the film’s less-interesting elements.
  1. While it has action and humor aplenty, Marvel's Black Widow still isn't quite the stellar solo film the fallen Avenger deserves.

    Dick Tracy succeeded in translating a classic comic almost perfectly to the screen. Some people may be turned off with Madonna being in the film, but if you can look past that, you'd find one of the best comic-to-film adaptations ever.

    Problemista is a deeply considered, fantastical tromp through a wonderland of the mundane.
  2. Ick
    As a horror-comedy, Ick commits the sin of not being remotely haunting enough to make for a decent horror movie or anywhere near funny enough to be a good comedy.
  3. V/H/S/Halloween is an enjoyable assortment of vicious holiday horror shorts that might take a step backward after last year’s fantastic V/H/S/Beyond, but it’s hardly a throwaway sequel.
  4. Despite the efforts of Idris Elba and the cast, Concrete Cowboy never explores its characters or premise in much depth.
  5. Avatar: The Way of Water is a clear improvement on its predecessor and, though its story isn’t breaking new ground, its jaw-dropping visuals make this an irresistible return to Pandora.
  6. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle offers plenty of action and some emotional flashbacks, but it suffers from an overuse of flashbacks that undermine the story's pacing.

    Framing John DeLorean deftly tells the bigger-than-life tale of one man’s bold quest to build a timeless sports car.
  7. While no entry in the franchise has surpassed the original film, this Halloween sequel is truly a cut above the rest and a great piece of horror entertainment even for those unfamiliar with the series.

    The Little Stranger may be a bit too slow burn at times and isn't for all tastes, but it's well-acted and engrossing.
  8. Fear Street Part 1: 1994 is a film rich with character, world-building, Easter eggs, and scares. Horror fans will be grinning over a visual allusion, then be pulled to the edge of their seat by this slaughter-packed adventure, then catch themselves screaming at a harrowingly portrayed murder.
  9. The Last Duel’s staggering trial by combat allows for some brilliant performances, brutal fights, and impactful social commentary.

    Like all the best and most beloved family films, there's plenty in this film for adults to appreciate as well as kids.
  10. A story of a generational actor who realizes the price of the fame monster far too late in life, Jay Kelly is a smart, funny, and emotional ride that deftly interrogates what it means to be a human and an artist in equal measure – and the unfair sacrifices required to be great.
  11. PG: Psycho Goreman is campy, ridiculous, and low-budget, and it absolutely owns it.
  12. Fresh delivers a full-course meal with dazzling cinematography, disturbing imagery, and one of the best horror performances of the past few years. Sebastian Stan joins the pantheon of horror psychopaths as this delightfully gory movie explores the world of modern dating.
  13. Like its doomed romantic pair — Marion Cotillard’s radiant stage actress and Adam Driver’s macabre comedian — Annette pours dreams, perversions, and self-fulfilling misery into its titular puppet-child, a beautiful creation that sings heavenly tunes in the darkest of moments.
  14. The King of Staten Island lumbers from one thread to another, seemingly uncertain over what it's about.
  15. The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf isn’t a bad film, but it fundamentally lacks an identity of its own.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    It’s a delightful watch for long-time fans that doubles as an entertaining sampler for those curious about this beloved series.
  16. Despite a strong performance from Nick Offerman, Sovereign is a film that’s inescapably slight and with little to say with its painfully relevant story of modern extremism.

    Caged Heat is a nudity-filled sleaze-fest, that much is certain, but it's also a haunting little trip with plenty of memorable thrills.
  17. Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen transform Long Shot's familiar rom-com story into a memorable and funny movie.

    Freaky is a bloody good time. It’s smart, sharp and funny with some tasty kills and headline casting that is to die for.
  18. Isaiah Saxon’s adventure fairytale ends up unique and beautiful, much like the adorable animatronic foundling of its title.
  19. Upgrade is an intense sci-fi action thriller with big ideas, incredible action and a remarkable lead performance.
  20. Casper Kelly psychotically spoofs the strangest of strange horror titles that turn anything into a murderous entity while unraveling deadly severe social commentaries. It’s abstract art, theater camp, found footage foolishness, hunt-and-stalk depravity — Adult Swim Yule Log is a whole lot of things but, even with a full 90 minutes, few angles feel fully fleshed out.
  21. Lorcan Finnegan’s smart survival thriller The Surfer sets a brutal, sun-soaked stage for star Nicolas Cage to do what he does best: go completely nuts.
