U.S. Release Date: 2023-02-03
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence)
Genre: Thriller
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Cast: Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Rupert Grint, Abby Quinn, Kristen Cui
The mediocre mystery/thriller not only fails to draw in viewers but falls short both in terms of world-building and suspense.
U.S. Release Date: 2022-12-16
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity, Partial Nudity)
Genre: Science Fiction
Director: James Cameron
Cast: Sam Worthington, Jack Champion, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, ...
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: 2023-01-27
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity, Sexual Content, Nudity, Drugs)
Genre: Thriller/Horror
Director: Brandon Cronenberg

The film piques the intellect and feeds the bloodlust while offering an experience that only a Cronenberg can deliver.

Genre: Thriller
Director: Nick Johnson, Will Merrick
Cast: Storm Reid, Nia Long, Ken Leung, Joaquim de Almeida, Megan Suri, Daniel Henney, Amy Landecker, Tim Griffin
Works well enough as a popcorn flick that doesn’t demand much in the way of concentration and is a better fit for at-home viewing than watching in a theater.

Genre: Drama
Director: Hirokazu Kore-eda
Cast: Song Kang-ho, Gang Dong-won, Bae Doona, Lee Ji-eun, Lee Joo-young, Im Seung-soo
Highlights a strength of filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda – the ability to find compelling truths underneath a veil of sentimentality.
U.S. Release Date: 2023-01-20
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama/Thriller
Director: Mary Nighy
Cast: Anna Kendrick, Kaniehiio Horn, Wunmi Mosaku, Charlie Carrick
Although Anna Kendrick is the best thing about the movie, her contribution fails to elevate "Alice, Darling" to better than a streaming pick.
U.S. Release Date: 2023-01-13

Genre: Action
Director: Jean-Francois Richet
Cast: Gerard Butler, Mike Colter, Daniella Pineda, Tony Goldwyn, Paul Ben-Victor, Evan Dane Taylor, Yoson An
The movie offers limited entertainment for those who enjoy this sort of fare but fails as anything more than a throw-away streaming option.
U.S. Release Date: 2023-01-06
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence)
Genre: Horror
Director: Gerard Johnstone
Cast: Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Amie Donald, Jen Van Epps, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Ronny Chieng, Jenna Davis
Although aspects of "M3gan" are disappointing, the movie aims higher than most early-year releases.
U.S. Release Date: 2022-12-30
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Rude Behavior)
Genre: Drama
Director: Marc Forster
Cast: Tom Hanks, Mariana Trevino, Rachel Keller, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Cameron Britton, Mike Birbiglia, Truman Hanks
The things that work outweigh those that do not and the performance by Hanks is the glue that holds everything together.

Genre: Drama/Musical
Director: Kasi Lemmons
Cast: Naomi Ackie, Stanley Tucci, Ashton Sanders, Tamara Tunie, Nafessa Williams, Clarke Peters
