MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Animated
Director: Kirk DeMicco
Cast: Lana Condor, Toni Collette, Annie Murphy, Colman Domingo, Jane Fonda
Although the movie has the capacity to engage and entertain young children, its bland storyline and cut-rate animation will not impress many adults.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)
Genre: Horror/Comedy
Director: Chris McKay
Cast: Nicholas Hoult, Nicolas Cage, Awkwafina, Ben Schwartz, Shohreh Aghdashlooo
The Nicolas Cage version of Dracula is so outrageous that it puts to shame previous attempts at parodying the Count. Too bad the rest of "Renfield" doesn’t come close to being on the same level.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama/Comedy
Director: Woody Allen
Cast: Wallace Shawn, Gina Gershon, Elena Anaya, Louis Garrel, Sergi Lopez, Christoph Waltz, Richard Kind
One has to wonder whether Woody Allen continues to make movies not because the passion for the creative act still burns but because this has become a comfortable habit.

Genre: Action/Comedy
Director: Rawson Marshall Thurber
Cast: Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot, Ritu Arya
You can have The Rock, Wonder Woman, and Deadpool, but it doesn’t mean much if they don’t have clever things to say and meaningful things to do.

What we have here is a godawful movie that, despite its general badness, nevertheless casts a spell of sorts.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Science Fiction/Thriller
Director: Lisa Joy
Cast: Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson, Thandiwe Newton, Cliff Curtis, Daniel Wu, Brett Cullen
Although made with care and competence and featuring a strong underlying premise, the film as a whole is forgettable.

Genre: Drama
Director: Marjane Satrapi
Cast: Rosamund Pike, Sam Riley, Simon Russell Beale, Sian Brooke, Aneurin Barnard, Anya Taylor-Joy
The relatively straightforward bio-pic trajectory feels more like a Victorian/Edwardian era soap opera than the chronicle of a scientific pioneer.

An oddball buddy/road movie that nearly drowns in a tsunami of sentimentality and predictability.
