  1. Jay and Silent Bob Reboot
    Though its meta-heavy plot gets tiresome after a while, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot is a successful return to form for Kevin Smith. Though it’s a bit rough around the edges, all involved clearly came to have fun and that infectious energy is palpable for the entire runtime. It may be his raunchiest film in years, but it’s also his most emotionally intelligent.
  2. Black Widow
    While it has action and humor aplenty, Marvel's Black Widow still isn't quite the stellar solo film the fallen Avenger deserves.
  3. Eternals
    Eternals is beautifully shot and terrifically acted, but it bites off more than it can chew in its third act.
  4. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is a Sam Raimi movie from top to bottom, for better and worse.
  5. Thor: Love and Thunder
    Thor: Love and Thunder is held back by a cookie-cutter plot and a mishandling of supporting characters, but succeeds as the MCU's first romantic comedy thanks to Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman's chemistry.
  6. Dolemite Is My Name
    In spite of the adult material, it’s a genuinely affecting underdog story, and a rallying cry to anyone who has ever dreamed big. Most of all, Dolemite is a heartfelt tribute to a genuine auteur who spent his life spreading laughter and joy, and who made movie magic by always staying true to himself.
  7. Halloween Kills
    Halloween Kills suffers from being the second chapter in a trilogy, but it still delivers gory fun, fantastic performances, and an electrifying score from John Carpenter. There are enough callbacks to the original film to satisfy Carpenter fans while also expanding the mythology around Michael Myers and the town of Haddonfield in meaningful ways.

    Romper Stomper
    Crowe is magnificent as Hando, the leader of the gang whose decisions land them all in hot water and Daniel Pollock (who killed himself during post production) is right there with him. It's a tragic, harrowing little film.

    Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight
    Zane is an absolute blast, whether doing a little dance or trying to steal his way into each character's soul, he's having too much fun.

    Navy Seals
    Biehn, in what would unfortunately be the last of his pure good guy roles, shines in the type of role he does best: a hardened and reluctant hero who is bound by honor to do right no matter what the cost.
  11. Cruella
    Cruella's gonzo fashion, complicated characters, and truly bonkers backstory are compromised by obligations to be kid-friendly and its time-consuming need to over-explain everything it does.
  12. In the Shadow of the Moon
    The action is thrilling and the science fiction stuff compelling, but there are several occasions where it feels like the screenplay is talking down to its audience, most notably during its heavy-handed climax.
  13. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is at its most effective when paying tribute to its fallen king, and strong performances from the returning cast keep it afloat through its occasionally choppy plot.
  14. Last Night in Soho
    Last Night in Soho’s biggest strengths and weaknesses come from the same place: its attempts to replicate much better psychological horror from decades past. However, despite everything that doesn’t work, its musical energy keeps it fun.
  15. Synchronic
    Synchronic isn't a home run, but a decent time travel triple is always welcome.
  16. Venom: Let There Be Carnage
    Taking itself less seriously and having more fun, its relatively short runtime is packed densely with plenty of action, character development, and campy humor. At the same time, it’s a love story about relationships evolving and learning to grow and trust each other.

    Race with the Devil
    While Race with the Devil is a bit slower, it's a haunting, unforgettable experience.
  18. Escape to Witch Mountain
    34 years after it opened, this remains a creative and charming family film.
    • 78 Metascore

    James and the Giant Peach
    It's more oriented to the kiddies than Nightmare, but if you want something to watch with your little cousins or nieces or something that will give you something to enjoy as well as them, and you've already seen Tarzan 28 times, check this one out.

    Mutiny on the Bounty
    Watching the film now, it seems like a bit of an anachronism. The story may be set in 1789, but the style and tone of the film is pure 1962. They simply don't make films like this anymore.

    The Banker
    An accessible, efficiently made but not necessarily invigorating look at finance, reality, and racial injustice in the U.S.

    Night of the Creeps
    Overall, Creeps is witty, it's scary, it's gory, and it includes a number of one-liners that many film-fans still quote today, though none will ever be as memorable as: "The good news is…your dates are here. The bad news is…they're dead."
  23. Spies in Disguise
    There may be a sort of cutesy premise, and the message about fixing problems without violence might seem a bit innocent these days, but Spies in Disguise is absolutely charming.
  24. Free Guy
    Free Guy delivers a first hour that is outrageously entertaining, stuffed with gonzo action, goofy gags, star power, big ideas, and plenty of Easter Eggs for lovers of movies and video games. However, in its second half, the joyful journey is derailed by a slog of a side quest, falling short of the potential set-up.
  25. The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run
    While it's not as wonderfully weird as it could have been, the latest SpongeBob movie still delivers silly, family fun.

    The Kentucky Fried Movie
    Great stuff, if you can stomach the dated look and content.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Humanoids from the Deep
    Sure, it's silly and exploitative, but it's also a hoot to watch, particularly for gorehounds, Corman fans and cult enthusiasts.
  28. The Many Saints of Newark
    The Many Saints of Newark is a solid and fan-friendly prequel to the classic HBO series, even if it does try to add too much to the Sopranos Universe.
  29. The Night House
    While it may not always pay off the tension it builds, the film’s story — about a woman seeking closure after her husband’s suicide — makes the lingering unknowability of romance feel just as unsettling as any supernatural force.
  30. The Forever Purge
    The dystopian fantasy elements of the saga are now at their thinnest, painting a cinematic world that may hit too close to home for some. Ultimately, it's a solid entry that can either act as an ending or a new beginning.
