  1. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning
    While its action is reliably thrilling and a few of its most exciting sequences are sure to hold up through the years, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning tries to deal with no less than the end of every living thing on the planet – and suffers because of it. The somber tone and melodramatic dialogue miss the mark of what’s made this franchise so much fun for 30 years, but the door is left open for more impossible missions and the hope that this self-serious reckoning isn’t actually final.

    Fort Apache the Bronx
    While the movie has some good sequences, as a whole it never seems to come together - the pacing is all off.
  3. Coming 2 America
    Coming 2 America retreads a lot of familiar material, relying on the charm of its cast and pure nostalgia to save it.
  4. Abominable
    Abominable is a simple, sweet, slight story that’s been told before, and told better.
  5. Police Story 2 (1988)
    Usually the fight sequences are great but the movie itself is poor.
  6. Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom
    When Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is being an Aquaman story and leaning into the silliness and family aspects of it all, it’s fun. The enjoyable bits are just sandwiched between some ugly effects and a weird first act that feel cobbled together from a very different movie.

    Rudy
    Based on a true story, the whole thing is a sloppy mess of football wishes and caveat dreams that will forever be remembered, but never watched in just one sitting.
  8. Lucy in the Sky
    Natalie Portman excels in Lucy in the Sky, an interesting character study that suffers when mixing fact and fiction.
  9. DC League of Super-Pets
    DC League of Super-Pets may have thoughtful filmmaking on its side, but what it doesn’t have is a voice cast that can lend life and personality to its characters.
  10. Ford v Ferrari
    Ford v Ferrari is well acted and shot, but the story doesn’t engage, making James Mangold’s latest effort something of a slog.

    French Connection II
    Director Frankenheimer does his best to keep the film moving, and he succeeds admirably in the final act, but the 90 minutes of dreck that precede the finale are of little interest, perhaps even tainting one's enjoyment of the first film, which is something no sequel should ever do.
  12. Harriet
    Harriet has the best intentions, but despite a powerful lead performance by Cynthia Erivo, the film feels bereft of originality. It’s a shame that a film centering a woman whose life was filled with fear, risk, and compassion couldn’t summon those same elements for its story.
  13. Halloween Ends
    There are some memorable kills and reverence for the franchise at large, but it stumbles as it brings it to a close.
  14. Underwater
    Underwater is a slick yet flawed sci-fi thriller that never quite breaches greatness.
  15. The Woman in the Window
    The Woman in the Window has both flash and fizzle. Amy Adams is great in the lead role, presenting us with a shattered recluse who wages war on lucidity daily, but the rest of the cast, while noteworthy, are sort of relegated to being plot pawns. Still, if you're looking for a higher class of claustrophobic Noir, and don't care too much about the resolution, there's a playfulness on display here that might scratch an airport novel itch.

    Fire and Ice
    The wafer-thin story and cookie-cutter characters are laughably standard. Then again, there is a part of me that enjoys the fact that the filmmakers didn't try to make this meaningful, they just want the audience to sit back and stare at this world (and Teegra's curves) in all of its Frazetta-inspired glory.
  17. The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It
    Though The Devil Made Me Do It is a smart recalibration for The Conjuring series, its successes have little to do with its strengths as a standalone horror movie. Ed and Lorraine Warren's investigation may be an engaging mystery, and their opponent is a franchise-best, but the scares are just not as potent in part because half of them center on a possession victim who’s really not easy to root for.
  18. Bloodshot
    Bloodshot is unapologetically a popcorn movie of the switch-off-your-brain-and-kick-back variety. Diesel and company soldier through a wonky plot to deliver glowers, superhero poses, and loads of action. Director Wilson brings the heat with solid visual effects and a relentless pace. But keen-eyed viewers will notice the telltale signs of "fix it in post" fiddling.
  19. Spenser Confidential
    Mark Wahlberg and Winston Duke's fun chemistry helps elevate the predictable murder-mystery Spenser Confidential.

    Young Sherlock Holmes
    Be sure to watch the film all the way through the end credits for a clever post-credit cookie (a rarity for this era).
  21. Irresistible
    Stewart’s goals are muddied by his approach, leaving us with a work that has a few pieces of wisdom to offer and a few laughs scattered throughout, but ultimately feels as inconsequential as the TV talking heads it’s trying to critique.
  22. Mank
    The reclamation project known as Mank falls short. Even with showy performances from Oldman and Seyfried, and its beautiful craft, the film lacks heart. Because underneath the wisecracks and drunken debauchery, in the face of a sweeping political narrative, there’s scarcely an impression of the man.

    Caged Heat
    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.

    Black Moon Rising
    As is often the case, what makes this film so enjoyable is the cast.
  25. Infinite
    Infinite is a chaotic film. Plucking from well-worn cliches, it’s familiar enough to scratch the itch of action entertainment. Yet its world-building is so wonky you might do better to switch off your brain and let the flashy stunts wash over you.
  26. PAW Patrol: The Movie
    Paw Patrol: The Movie is a precious and peppy offering for the pre-preteen set that utilizes gentle character drama and buzzy action to stand out as a big-screen adventure. It won't be any parent's first choice, from an animation standpoint, but the standards of storytelling hold firm, making for an overall calm and comforting watch.
  27. Unhinged
    With any other actor as the menacing lead, Unhinged would have been a TV movie or straight-to-streaming release, but Crowe and a few well-executed scenes of action still manage to hold the viewer’s interest throughout what’s essentially 90 minutes of genre filler material.
  28. Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
    The jokes in the sweet and silly Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga don't always pop as well as its songs.
  29. Tom & Jerry
    Tom and Jerry hit the big screen for a hybrid live-action romp that too often feels like it's not even their movie.
  30. The Tax Collector
    Bolstered by a diverse and interesting cast of a kind we don’t see nearly enough, it paints a vivid portrait of the seedier side of the Los Angeles underworld.
