As a piece of political satire, "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" is a hit-and-miss affair but, on those occasions when it draws blood, it does so with relish.

Genre: Drama
Director: Roger Michell
Cast: Susan Sarandon, Sam Neill, Kate Winslet, Mia Wasikowska, Rainn Wilson, Lindsay Duncan, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Anson Boon
Too little about the film feels like real life and who wants a fantasy film that’s such a relentless downer?

Genre: Romance/Comedy
Director: Natalie Krinsky
Cast: Geraldine Viswanathan, Dacre Montgomery, Molly Gordon, Phillipa Soo, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Suki Waterhouse, Bernadette Peters

Genre: Comedy
Director: Dean Parisot
Cast: Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, Kristen Schaal, Samara Weaving, Brigette Lundy-Paine, William Sadler, Anthony Carrigan, Erinn Hayes, Jayma Mays
Silly, dumb, and completely nonsensical – exactly what one could reasonably expect from the movie and what the fans (given a choice) would demand.

MPAA Rating: "G"
Genre: Animated
Director: Bill Melendez, Phil Roman
Cast: Arrin Skelley, Daniel Anderson, Patricia Patts, Casey Carlson, Bill Melendez

Genre: Comedy
Director: Alan Metter
Cast: Rodney Dangerfield, Sally Kellerman, Burt Young, Keith Gordon, Robert Downey Jr., Paxton Whitehead, Terry Farrell, M. Emmet Walsh, Adrienne Barbeau, William Zabka, Ned Beatty

MPAA Rating: "R" (Sexual Content, Nudity, Profanity, Drugs)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Giuseppe Capotondi

The final 30 minutes of this would-be Hitchcockian caper film prove unable to deliver on the promise of the early acts.

MPAA Rating: "NR" (Gore, Disturbing Images)
Genre: Horror
Director: Jeffrey A. Brown
Cast: Liana Liberato, Noah Le Gros, Jake Weber, Maryann Nagel
The characters are generic and uninteresting and that neuters tension and suspense.

Genre: Thriller
Director: Jonathan Milott, Cary Murnion
Cast: Lulu Wilson, Kevin James, Joel McHale, Robert Maillet, Amanda Brugel, Ryan McDonald, James McDougall, Isaiah Rockcliffe
A brand of exploitation that feels surprisingly fresh considering how many tropes it recycles.
U.S. Release Date: -
MPAA Rating: "NR"
Genre: Drama
Director: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger
Cast: Deborah Kerr, Jean Simmons, David Farrar, Sabu, Esmond Knight, Kathleen Byron, Judith Furse, Jenny Laird, Flora Robson, May Hallatt
The technical aspects – although impressive considering the special effects limitations of the era – represent a lukewarm reason to see the film and the storyline adds little in the way of a sweetener.
