Insidious: The Last Key may be somewhat engaging but it’s also sloppy and doesn’t amount to much.

Dr. Seuss' The Grinch is a fun and fast holiday movie, updating the classic story for the audience that made the Minions a billion-dollar industry. However, the straightforward moral of the 30-page children’s book and one of Dr. Seuss’ most memorable characters get a little handcuffed by this update.

Dark Phoenix is ultimately yet another fumbled take on the classic saga from the Marvel Comics, albeit one without the side plots of The Last Stand. Add to it a jarringly uneven latter half and some underdeveloped cosmic villains, and Dark Phoenix is fortunate to have not fully ended the X-Men’s current big screen run on a completely down note.

I Am Heath Ledger feels like a glancing take on the actor. It takes us through his professional life, and some of his personal one, but it never provides a full picture of him.

A decently made but unsurprising thriller.

Under the Silver Lake never finds a reason for being as weird as it is, making for a confusing and frustrating experience despite its hypnotic visuals and great score.

Night School is a familiar comedy with heart that (barely) makes the grade.

Child's Play is a passable but plain remake that's saved by a blisteringly bonkers third act.

You'll certainly find better alien mayhem films than Beyond Skyline, but some creative special effects, interesting fights, and fun, alien brain-sucking will keep you moderately – but solidly – entertained.

Superfly features an appealing lead, and captures small tastes of amazing, striking cool, but is also bogged down by plot and characters that reduce an otherwise slick flick into something that is more capable than amazing.

Inkheart is one of those "family" movies that ins't necessarily for the entire family. While this is a decent audio and visual presentation, it's probably more suited to a younger audience (the inclusion of a full-screen version is a dead giveaway). Give it a rent if you're curious, but this title simply isn't substantial enough to recommend owning it.

The Mortal Kombat games are all about having fun, and so is the movie, whether it's "good" cinema or not.

Lethal Weapon 3 picks up where Lethal Weapon 2 left off, with the same gags and tough-guy dialogue but things are starting to wear a bit thin.

Despite the good stuff, though, Hunter Killer doesn’t ever really justify its existence. Conceived in 2011, viewing it through any other lens than today’s political climate is impossible.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales manages to be less bloated, dreary, and meandering than the last three entries have been, but it still suffers from many of the same wearisome, dredged-up villains and ho-hum action and comedy that have bedeviled the franchise since its second installment.

It's not high art, that much is certain, but the original Slumber Party Massacre is a fun, gory good ride riddled with scares, flesh and humor.

Clifford the Big Red Dog is a sweet if shallow kids offering that sometimes soars higher than expected.

The Croods: A New Age is a mightily medium follow-up to the 2013 original. The voice cast is great and the jokes are the perfect type of clever, where both kids and adults can get a good laugh. The story and emotional stakes are a touch thinner this time but that's to be expected, for the most part, from this type of animated sequel.

The chase scenes are top notch. Unfortunately, the movie has a lot of slow parts as well. Another bizarre aspect of Mad Max is that the voices were re-dubbed. Director George Miller, decided that the American public wouldn't be able to understand the Australian accents. It's not as bad as it sounds, but it's definitely a noticeable annoyance.

Rough Night is a movie that, perhaps, is a lot like one of these parties – it manages to be remembered not as the best time ever, but fondly.

With a funny set of side characters and a lovably kindhearted lead, Ferdinand finds a way to promote being kind to others without becoming an afterschool special. Granted, it doesn’t ever go out of its way to be very unique or surprising, but for what it sets out to do, Ferdinand is altogether successful. Even if that means it doesn’t end up being much more that.

Thanks to the charming nature of the characters and their genuine good heartedness, Despicable Me 3 manages to be an entertaining enough film to feel like a decent continuation of the previous two chapters.

Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank curiously exists as a Mel Brooks movie remake, though that's also its most redeeming feature.

The Little Hours is an enjoyable comedy that wears a little too thin by the time it’s over.

While there's a lot to love in The Yellow Birds, this war film is ultimately a missed opportunity.

History fans will probably love the film for its authenticity. Everyone else on the other hand might have a hard time sitting through it. It is extremely interesting if not wholly entertaining.

The whole is less than the sum of its parts, but those parts just about make the grade.

The Boss Baby: Family Business delivers middle-road mirth, full of action and quasi-clever jokes, and featuring the fun voice additions of James Marsden, Jeff Goldblum, and Amy Sedaris.
