U.S. Release Date: 1985-08-09
MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Comedy
Director: Tim Burton
Cast:
Unevenly paced and narratively scattershot, it offers moments of entertainment but lacks cohesion and consistency.
U.S. Release Date: 2022-03-25
MPAA Rating: "NR" (Violence)
Genre: Fantasy/Adventure
Director: S.S. Rajamouli
Cast: N.T. Rama Rao Jr., Ram Charan, Alia Bhatt, ...
By the time the 3-hour running time has expired, most viewers will be exhausted from the nonstop energy of the experience.
U.S. Release Date: 2022-12-23
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Nudity, Violence, Drugs)
Genre: Drama
Director: Damien Chazelle
Cast: Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, Diego Calva, ...
The movie has an unfortunate trajectory where the story becomes less interesting as the running time increases. This is the classic definition of being “front-loaded.”

U.S. Release Date: 2022-12-16
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity, Partial Nudity)
Genre: Science Fiction
Director: James Cameron
Cast: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, Brendan Cowell, Jamie Flatters, Britain Dalton, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Jack Champion, Bailey Bass
It is difficult to overstate how impressive and potentially game-changing this motion picture is. "The Way of Water" re-invents 3D, exceeding by an order of magnitude what Cameron did in 2009.
U.S. Release Date: 2022-12-09

Genre: Animated
Director: Guillermo del Toro, Mark Gustafson
Cast: Gregory Mann, Ewan McGregor, David Bradley, Burn Gorman, Ron Perlman, John Turturro, Finn Wolfhard, Cate Blanchett, Tim Blake Nelson, Christoph Waltz, Tilda Swinton
I can make a compelling case that this is the best version of Pinocchio to-date, and that includes the Disney classic.
U.S. Release Date: 2022-12-02
MPAA Rating: "R" (Sexual Content, Nudity, Profanity)
Genre: Drama/Romance
Director: Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre
Cast: Emma Corrin, Jack O’Connell, Matthew Duckett, Joely Richardson, Faye Marsay
Unlike some adaptations of classic novels, this one does not feel like a chore to sit through: an impressively mounted production that is emotionally true to the characters and their era.
U.S. Release Date: 2022-11-23
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Mystery/Comedy
Director: Rian Johnson
Cast: Daniel Craig, Edward Norton, Janelle Monae, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Kate Hudson, Dave Bautista, Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline
Funnier than almost any other 2022 film and more entertaining than many of the bloated would-be blockbusters dotting the release schedule.
U.S. Release Date: 2022-11-16
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama/Mystery
Director: Sebastian Lelio
Cast: Florence Pugh, Kila Lord Cassidy, Tom Burke, Elaine Cassidy, Caolan Byrne, Toby Jones, Ciaran Hinds
Despite its strong sense of atmosphere and an intense performance by lead actress Florence Pugh, "The Wonder" is strangely uninvolving.
U.S. Release Date: 2022-10-26
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Nudity)
Genre: Drama/Thriller
Director: Tobias Lindholm
Cast: Jessica Chastain, Eddie Redmayne, Noah Emmerich, Nnamdi Asomugha, Kim Dickens
Both actors give the roles their full attention and that, at least, is enough to keep the viewer engaged when the script fails – something that happens with disappointing frequency.
U.S. Release Date: 2022-10-14
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)
Genre: Horror
Director: David Gordon Green
Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Andi Matichak, Will Patton, Rohan Campbell, James Jude Courtney, Kyle Richards
Considering the various indignities visited upon Michael Myers over the years, it’s not a bad way to go out. At least it has the virtue of trying something new.
