Genre: Science Fiction/Action
Director: Christopher Nolan
Cast: John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Kenneth Branagh, Michael Caine, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Dimple Kapadia
Under ordinary circumstances, it would have been among a select group of “must see” releases during the summer of 2020. As things have turned out, it may be the only one.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Violence, Sexual Content)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Veena Sud
Cast: Peter Sarsgaard, Joey King, Mireille Enos, ...
Exemplifies Blumhouse at its worst and it’s not hard to see why this failed Hitchcock wannabe was never released theatrically. Even at the attractive price of “free,” it’s not worth it.
U.S. Release Date: 1993-07-16
MPAA Rating: "PG" (Walking Corpses)
Genre: Comedy/Horror
Director: Kenny Ortega
Cast: Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy, ...
Like so many films that mix genres, in trying to do too much, "Hocus Pocus" succeeds at very little.

U.S. Release Date: 2020-10-02
MPAA Rating: "NR"
Genre: Documentary
Director: John Scheinfeld
Cast: Herb Alpert, Lani Hall Alpert, Randy Badazz Alpert, Burt Bachrach, Richard Carpenter, Jerry Moss, Questlove, Bill Moyers, Billy Bob Thornton, Sting
This movie will likely go down as the definitive documentary about Herb Alpert and, as such, it’s not a bad way to be remembered.
U.S. Release Date: 2020-10-02
MPAA Rating: "NR" (Violence, Explicit Sexual Content, Nudity, Profanity)
Genre: Horror/Science Fiction
Director: Brandon Cronenberg
Cast: Andrea Riseborough, Christopher Abbott, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Sean Bean, Tuppence Middleton, Tiio Horn, Rossif Sutherland
As science fiction, it's a little disappointing but as horror, it’s a rousing success – a shocking and disturbing gem.
U.S. Release Date: 2020-09-23
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence)
Genre: Mystery/Thriller
Director: Harry Bradbeer
Cast: Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, Sam Claflin, Helena Bonham Carter, Fiona Shaw, Louis Partridge, Burn Gorman, Adeel Akhtar, Frances de la Tour
Still, there’s the “charming” factor, and it’s hard to deny. Chalk it up to star power, which Millie Bobby Brown has.
U.S. Release Date: 2020-09-25
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Comedy/Drama
Director: Miranda July
Cast: Evan Rachel Wood, Debra Winger, Richard Jenkins, Gina Rodriguez
Could be loosely described as a coming-of-age story for a thirtysomething woman who exists in a state of extreme arrested development.
U.S. Release Date: 2020-09-16
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity, Sexual Content, Nudity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Antonio Campos
Cast: Tom Holland, Mia Wasikowska, Harry Melling, Jason Clarke, Riley Keough, Haley Bennett, Bill Skarsgard, Sebastian Stan, Robert Pattinson, Eliza Scanlen
Engrossing but conventional – a well-told story whose evocative setting and vivid performances combine to produce a grim and lurid tableau.
U.S. Release Date: 2020-09-18
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Drugs, Adult Themes)
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?
U.S. Release Date: 2020-09-18
MPAA Rating: "R" (Sexual Content, Nudity, Profanity)
Genre: Drama
Director: William Olsson
Cast: Alexandra Daddario, Takehiro Hira, Carice van Houten, Andrew Rothney, Misuzu Kanno
The film suffers from an overly-familiar narrative – other films have told with greater power similar stories of lost, self-destructive souls.
