  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. This buddy comedy lives or dies on your affection for its stars, offering complementary shades of good-natured Bostonian ineptitude.
  5. 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!
  6. Goon: Last of the Enforcers is the rare great sports movie sequel.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. The Protégé is so bad that it feels like it has to be on purpose.
  10. Tron: Ares somehow forgets where it came from and relentlessly revisits the original, only making the latest version of the Grid paler by comparison.
  11. While there are some creepy ideas in this surprise Netflix-Blumhouse offering, the quality of Mercy Black is strained.
  12. 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.
  13. Even if you loved Host, skip Dashcam, Rob Savage’s provocative but woefully shallow, ugly, and cruel follow-up.
  14. 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.
  15. Underwater is a slick yet flawed sci-fi thriller that never quite breaches greatness.

    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.
  16. If you've ever watched a Saw movie and wished there was no gore and a few more puzzles to solve then you'll likely enjoy this tropey but fun flick.

    Tomb Raider fails to develop interesting characters or motives but at least offers viewers some fun action.
  17. Child's Play is a passable but plain remake that's saved by a blisteringly bonkers third act.
  18. Noelle is often lifted up and out of a full rut by Anna Kendrick's energetic and gallantly goofy turn as the North Pole's most deserving and capable Kringle. Without her, Noelle is average fare, rehashing a lot of timeworn cliches from other, more clever, festive films.
  19. Benedict Cumberbatch gives it his all in The Thing with Feathers, but the horror movie lives up to neither his performance, nor its own heavy-handed metaphor of a bullying crow-creature representing grief.
  20. The cast is wasted in such lame roles, and the horror story’s uncertain tone falls far short of intriguing. So, despite one supremely frightening moment, this movie is not scary. It just stinks.
  21. The film is pure sports-movie hokum, done with just enough conviction (much of it courtesy of David Harbour, who's typically excellent in the stock role of a racing veteran-turned-mentor) to help you ignore how relentlessly Gran Turismo advertises the games themselves.
  22. Tolkien may disappoint fans looking for a LOTR origin but will please those who like stories of art, love & friendship.
  23. The Retaliators tries to transform musical stardom into a rock n’ roll horror epic, but suffers from “too many cooks” syndrome as the end product plays disjointed and can feel like a music video demo reel.
