  1. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
    Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire has a lot of potential and a chilling new villain, but too many characters and a slower plot leads to dimmed thrills.
  2. The Animal Kingdom
    Though the story treads familiar territory and doesn't present a remarkable discovery about human nature, that doesn't leave us any less affected by the journey.
  3. Monkey Man
    The film certainly delivers on the action set pieces, but it also scales back to lay the groundwork for the story so that the payoff is well worth it. Monkey Man isn’t some basic action thriller; it’s an underdog story about the power of the people.
  4. Snack Shack
    The movie starts off quickly and provides an in-your-face introduction to the film's intended direction. However, the momentum quickly fizzles out, and the plot begins to meander towards the finish line, taking several unnecessary detours along the way.
  5. Uproar
    A story of family expectations, self-realization, and political altercations, Uproar packs an emotional punch while remaining consistently funny.
  6. Frida
    Frida expertly captures the essence of how her life and art intertwined throughout the years.
  7. The Fall Guy
    The Fall Guy feels like it comes from an era of films where it was alright to be openly silly, embracing action, romance, and nonsense all in one fell swoop without ever missing a step.
  8. Irish Wish
    Lohan's latest Netflix movie is an inoffensive rom-com with ample amounts of cheesiness and heart.
  9. Arthur the King
    Mark Wahlberg leads a good ensemble cast while sweetly interacting with Arthur the dog, and it’s cute and heartwarming, with the film doing exactly what it aims for.
  10. You'll Never Find Me
    You’ll Never Find Me is an excellent, audacious entry to the horror genre. It’s disconcerting and thrilling, with an emotional center and something to say. Allen and Bell confidently craft an effective story that will stay with you long after it’s over.
  11. Road House
    The script is mind-numbingly silly and, at times, doesn't try to elevate the remake meaningfully; it's really about engaging with the wild action and nothing else.
  12. Silver Haze
    Even if some of the finer points of the plot don’t make sense and the pacing starts and stops, the best way to enjoy Silver Haze is not to think about it, but to feel it.
  13. American Dreamer
    While more could have been done to develop Dinklage and MacLaine's characters, or explore the outcome which comes in the film's sudden and succinct conclusion, American Dreamer does a tremendous job of exploring one man's American dream, the lengths he must go to achieve it, and what is waiting for him once he reaches that goal.
  14. Night Shift
    Night Shift blows by characters and sequences on its way to the twist; the movie could have used a little longer runtime.
  15. Cabrini
    At its core, Cabrini is a feminist story whose bloated 140-minute runtime slightly overstays its welcome, but also packs an emotional punch for those willing to accept its message.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Accidental Texan
    Accidental Texan forces us to sympathize with the characters rather than letting compassion form naturally. The result is a failed attempt to weave successful pathos throughout the movie.
  17. Damsel
    Damsel is a lifeless experience. The filmmakers have assembled all the constituent parts of an interesting fantasy adventure film — genre-bending premise, a starry cast, locations with character, and some creative creature design — but the connective tissue is paper-thin.
  18. Ricky Stanicky
    Stanicky is a character to cheer for, and Cena's energy in the role makes Ricky Stanicky an entertaining watch with some surprising depth to it.
  19. Kung Fu Panda 4
    Though following a familiar formula that's running the risk of wearing thin, Kung Fu Panda 4 still finds heart in the reliable Dreamworks franchise.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Ordinary Angels
    The film refuses to linger in these quieter, well-acted Ritchson scenes, often in favor of a scene with Sharon. Swank is not necessarily bad in the role, but the film works too hard, and to minimal avail, to manipulate us into sympathy for her overbearing personality.
  21. History of Evil
    While there are a few jumpscares during the family's stay in the farmhouse, the film is more geared towards evoking a feeling of uneasiness than truly frightening us.
  22. Golden Years
    In the end, the movie successfully relays the importance of actualizing oneself, but wraps its narrative up too neatly, bypassing the messier reality of profound reinvention after decades of normalized routines have clouded one’s passions.
  23. Mea Culpa
    It’s a difficult film to take seriously, as it buries its potential in absurd drama, dialogue, and sequencing.
  24. Code 8: Part II
    While Code 8: Part II manages to outdo the original movie in its sci-fi elements, that is not the only improvement that can be seen in the sequel.
  25. Problemista
    Problemista invokes the simplicity of myth without ever letting its characters become simplistic.
  26. Spaceman
    The most glaring issue with Spaceman is that the leap from page to screen leaves quite a bit of the story behind and saddles its lead actor with much of the heavy lifting.
  27. Asleep in My Palm
    Asleep in My Palm succeeds when it finds the human connection in its message, but gives too much time to moralizing conversations and not enough to character arcs.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Amelia's Children
    Unfortunately, Amelia's Children seems content to coast on the most generic possible avenues the genre can provide, with little to no variation.
  29. First Time Female Director
    Its endless, unfunny humor is tiresome and obnoxious, the commentary is short-lived, and jokes related to Sam’s unpreparedness are repetitive.
  30. Red Right Hand
    While Bloom and MacDowell anchor the film with their strong performances, leading an ensemble cast that is foundational to this rugged Western, the score by Mondo Boys and cinematography by Johnny Derango do a lot to embed the themes and concepts into the atmosphere of the film.
