MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Disturbing Images)
Genre: Science Fiction/Horror
Director: John Krasinski
Cast: Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe, Cade Woodward
A superb exercise in understated terror that puts to shame “horror” films that rely on jump scares and cheap theatrics.
U.S. Release Date: 2018-04-06
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Nudity, Drugs)
Genre: Comedy
Director: Kay Cannon
Cast: Leslie Mann, Ramona Young, Graham Phillips, ...
Although the movie’s foremost goal is to deliver big laughs, it gets points for taking seriously the trauma of parents who are forced to loosen the reins and let go.
U.S. Release Date: 2018-04-06
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Drugs)
Genre: Comedy/Drama
Director: Richard Loncraine
Cast: Imelda Staunton, Timothy Spall, Celia Imrie, ...
The cast is top-notch and the characters are sufficiently likable but the movie’s vanilla narrative repeatedly offers unsurprising plot points.

Genre: Drama
Director: Russell Harbaugh
Cast: Andie MacDowell, Chris O’Dowd, James Adomian, Juliet Rylance, Dree Hemingway, Francesca Faridany, Matt Salinger, Gareth Williams
Director Harbaugh presents grief as it is, in all its pain and ugliness, rather than using the convenient, uplifting short-hand that Hollywood prefers.

MPAA Rating: "NR" (Sexual Content, Nudity, Adult Themes)
Genre: Drama/Documentary
Director: Al Pacino
Cast: Al Pacino, Jessica Chastain, Kevin Anderson, Estelle Parsons, Roxanne Hart
"Wilde Salome" falls into the category of an “interesting failure”; the experience is a mixed bag likely successful only for those who enjoy cinematic experiments.
U.S. Release Date: 2018-03-23
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Adult Themes, Profanity)
Genre: Animated
Director: Wes Anderson
Cast: Bryan Cranston, Liev Schreiber, Scarlett Johansson, Greta Gerwig, Kunichi Nomura, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Murray, Bob Balaban, Edward Norton, Koyu Rankin, Frances McDormand
This concept, although suitable for a short, is too thin for a full animated feature and wears out its welcome long before the end credits arrive.
U.S. Release Date: 2018-03-29
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity, Sexual Innuendo)
Genre: Science Fiction/Adventure
Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn, Lena Waithe, T.J. Miller, Simon Pegg, Mark Rylance, Philip Zhao, Win Morisaki
One of the year’s most energetic, visually rewarding, and ultimately exhausting motion pictures.
U.S. Release Date: 1987-01-23
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity, Nudity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Horror/Thriller
Director: Joseph Ruben
Cast: Terry O’Quinn, Jill Schoelen, Shelley Hack, Charles Lanyer, Stephen Shellen
Doesn’t hold up quite as well as it did during the late 1980s but it still generates suspense and O’Quinn’s performance has lost none of its power.
U.S. Release Date: 2018-03-24
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Science Fiction/Action
Director: Steven S. DeKnight
Cast: John Boyega, Scott Eastwood, Cailee Spaeny, Burn Gorman, Charlie Day, Rinko Kikuchi, Jing Tian, Max Zhang
Like nearly all unnecessary sequels, it’s the wedding of “bigger is better” with “more of the same.”
U.S. Release Date: 2018-03-23
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Horror/Thriller
Director: Steven Soderbergh
Cast: Claire Foy, Joshua Leonard, Amy Irving, Jay Pharoah, Juno Temple
If the movie’s ending underwhelms, that’s one of the few aspects that disappoints in this edgy, captivating motion picture.
