  1. A film that volleys back and forth in time, Luca Guadagnino's Challengers builds the relationships between its leading tennis trio in exciting and exacting ways. Enhanced by layered physical performances from Mike Faist, Zendaya, and Josh O'Connor, the result is one of the sexiest and most electric dramas of 2024.
  2. The First Omen is a fiendishly entertaining origin story for both the antichrist and a filmmaker to watch.
  3. Riddle of Fire is a charming, fantastical debut just begging for a cult audience to ride its uniquely silly wavelength. It’s familiar, and yet like nothing else you’ve seen.

    Problemista is a deeply considered, fantastical tromp through a wonderland of the mundane.
  4. Olivia Colman is a diamond in the rough, but even she can’t rescue a movie this flat and uninteresting.

    Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire serves up a berserk dreamscape with plenty of payoff to please the MonsterVerse faithful. Shame about the human stuff, though.
  5. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 takes the Terrifier 2 approach for a sequel with an absurd dedication to glorious slasher violence. It's inarguably better than the original, but that’s not saying all that much.
  6. Ghostbusters: Frozen Kingdom’s tiresome, bloated plot and expansive roster of characters will leave you out in the cold.
  7. Whimsical though it may be, The Concierge leverages its visual humor, creative premise, and expressiveness for a surprising and touching reflection on humanity's relationship to the world around us.
  8. Civil War delivers a challenging, thrilling, heart-pounding movie about the importance of journalism in times of conflict, about how easily we become desensitized to violence when we’re living through it.
  9. This is an irreplicable experience that speaks volumes about following your dreams despite the challenges that await. The reward will always be worthwhile, even if it’s just about the friends you make and NPC cops you massacre along the way.
  10. Weaving’s expressive face and boundless energy make her a compelling heroine, and her will to survive is unstoppable.
  11. A self-reflexive love letter to Hollywood stunt work, The Fall Guy is the perfect vehicle for Ryan Gosling’s comedic timing – not to mention, his romantic charm alongside an equally dialed-in Emily Blunt.
  12. It’s beautifully shot, and very loud. But much of the film is simply too mild and reliant on jump scares, and Syndey Sweeney’s performance doesn’t achieve the hysterical heights a movie like this needs until it’s too late.
  13. If you can look past Road House’s horrendous cinematography, CGI fights, and poor lighting, there's a fun movie to be found.
  14. Y2K
    Y2K is a deadly unserious disaster comedy featuring fantastic cyber-monster effects and humor inspired by the time period.
  15. Dev Patel’s diehard sincerity clashes with unwieldy religious imagery in an India-set revenge saga whose tepid action scenes fail to make up for its muddled politics.
  16. Imaginary nearly perfects its so-bad-it’s-good shtick. This is not a good movie, in the traditional, artistic sense – but it is a total joy to watch if you’re willing to buy into its particular blend of juvenile scares and stupid self-seriousness.
  17. A weak script and boring performances make the Netflix fantasy film Damsel a real slog, torpedoing its attempt to be a subversive spin on classic adventure tales. Any sense of wonder or magic is diluted by cheap-looking CGI and its overly repetitive action sequences.
  18. It would be great to see Peter Farrelly recapture the comedic magic he and his brother achieved in their terrific 1990s run, but he doesn’t do so with Ricky Stanicky. It’s focused on too many un-engaging characters with a lot of would-be comedic banter that falls flat, while the attempts to blend drama with humor feel out of place.

    Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - To the Hashira Training is a visual delight which will please the series’ biggest fans.
  19. Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate is nothing more than a lazy, 14-years-too-late cash-in on DreamWorks IP.
  20. It’s a good movie too chronically polite to achieve anything like greatness.
  21. Despite thoughtful visual artistry, and a great dramatic performance from Adam Sandler, Johan Renck’s Spaceman ends up too scattered, and too literal, to make its tale of a lonely astronaut feel remotely important.
  22. Ethan Coen goes solo – sort of – with Drive-Away Dolls, a raunchy, dizzy road-trip comedy that’s a little too slick for its own good.
  23. Featuring absolutely staggering visuals, Dune: Part Two is an arresting, transportive middle entry in Denis Villeneuve’s tricky sci-fi saga.
  24. Madame Web has the makings of a interesting superhero psychological thriller, but with a script overcrowded with extraneous characters, basic archetypes, and generic dialogue, it fails the talent and the future of its onscreen Spider-Women.
  25. Not as memorable as the ’80s and ’90s high-school romps and creepshows it pays tribute to, there's still lots of gory fun to be had with director Zelda Williams’ feature-length debut thanks to Newton's electric lead and the sparks she throws off opposite Cole Sprouse’s game portrayal of a reanimated corpse.
  26. A bizarre tale about a family of sasquatch is an emotional masterpiece of experimental cinema and fart jokes.
  27. A Different Man is a twisted, sometimes grueling, frequently darkly funny ride with standout performances from Sebastian Stan and Adam Pearson.
