  1. The craziness of David Leitch's train never goes off the rails nor reaches top speeds but still brings us along for a smooth and stable joyride that outshines its recent American action counterparts.
  2. Y2K
    Y2K is a deadly unserious disaster comedy featuring fantastic cyber-monster effects and humor inspired by the time period.

    Despite the editing flaws, and the weaker aspects of Branagh's performance and direction, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is one of the better adaptations of the original, nearly 200-year-old story.
  3. The Cellar has a cool and creepy set up but then fizzles once the answers start arriving.
  4. Insidious: The Last Key may be somewhat engaging but it’s also sloppy and doesn’t amount to much.

    The film works, thanks to a surprisingly fun cast, but its best not to take things too seriously and just enjoy the film for what it is -- a brilliantly madcap slasher send-up.
  5. Mark Wahlberg and Winston Duke's fun chemistry helps elevate the predictable murder-mystery Spenser Confidential.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain has way more laughs than the standard direct-to-streaming comedy, with some gloriously silly running gags and hilarious non sequiturs. But it lacks any real point of view behind that silliness.
  9. While not without charm, the biggest factors working against Army of Thieves are a confused hybrid of horror and heist genre stories and an approach making it unclear which audience – other than the most ardent of Zack Snyder fans – it’s aimed at.
  10. Migration is a preposterous yet grounded thriller thanks to good performances and centered on a desperate, hopeful plight. Honestly, watch the first movie: It's fun, but you actually don't have to have seen it to enjoy Migration.
  11. Though it features delightfully weird visuals and a stellar turn by Kathryn Hunter, The Front Room can’t find its identity, both on-screen and in its own marketing.
  12. The first chapter in Kevin Costner's epic western series is a meandering, regressive snooze.

    This movie has always been a favorite when it comes to the nuttiness of Christmas and family, and it's still a riot. Have a merry dysfunctional Christmas.

    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.
  13. This buddy comedy lives or dies on your affection for its stars, offering complementary shades of good-natured Bostonian ineptitude.
  14. Escape Room: Tournament of Champions twists the puzzle premise of its hit predecessor into an unsolvable slog.

    Curse you and your vile coma-inducing powers, Jennifer 8!
  15. Goon: Last of the Enforcers is the rare great sports movie sequel.
  16. If you can compartmentalize the film’s well-intentioned but problematic modernized elements and just focus on the cute dogs then you will likely find Disney+’s remake of Lady and the Tramp a lightweight and engaging distraction to watch at home.
  17. The Predator is, in many ways, a throwback to what made the 1987 original so beloved: it includes many of the same elements, such as the rowdy camaraderie amongst absurdly macho protagonists, a debauched wit, and a primal battle between man and beast. It’s a shame when everything splinters apart in the haphazard and shoddy-looking last half-hour.
  18. The Protégé is so bad that it feels like it has to be on purpose.
  19. Tron: Ares somehow forgets where it came from and relentlessly revisits the original, only making the latest version of the Grid paler by comparison.
  20. While there are some creepy ideas in this surprise Netflix-Blumhouse offering, the quality of Mercy Black is strained.
  21. The Greatest Showman is wildly entertaining even when it’s spectacularly false, which is a lot of the time. But everyone is enjoying themselves on-screen, so you might as well enjoy yourself too.

    While there are flaws galore in this live-action movie version, you get a sense that the director has a real love for the original source material. The color schemes and costumes have exactly the right hues and texture, and the ambiance is engaging overall.
  22. Even if you loved Host, skip Dashcam, Rob Savage’s provocative but woefully shallow, ugly, and cruel follow-up.
  23. Jungle eventually leads to an exciting survival story with an intense performance by Daniel Radcliffe and suspenseful scenes that might make you squirm. But it might not be worth the journey it takes to get there.

    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.
