Run Time: 1:33
U.S. Release Date: 2023-03-10
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)
Genre: Science Fiction/Adventure
Director: Scott Beck, Bryan Woods
Cast: Adam Driver, Ariana Greenblatt
The most lofty goal "65" can claim is being a slickly-made B movie.
Maintains a high level of energy to go along with its eccentricity but, for all its epic aspirations, it feels slight.
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.
"Cocaine Bear" is imperfect but it is fun and will not disappoint many who are titillated by the title.
By delivering the expected and doing so with style and intensity, it lands in the top tier of the nine "Rocky" universe movies.
A far cry from the fantastic majesty of the Tolkien-based epics but has the feel of something that could spawn an enduring franchise if it catches on.
Although there’s nothing especially wrong with "Emily," little in the movie causes it to stand apart from other, similar productions.
Run Time: 2:09

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Drugs Use/Addiction)
Genre: Drama
Director: Zach Braff
Cast: Florence Pugh, Morgan Freeman, Celeste O’Connor, Molly Shannon, Chinaza Uche
The participation of Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman, both in top form, transforms this from a middling weeper into a deeply felt meditation about the ravages of drug addiction.
Run Time: 2:00
U.S. Release Date: 2023-02-24
MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Drama
Director: Jon Erwin, Brent McCorkle
Cast: Kelsey Grammer, Joel Courtney, Jonathan Roumie, Anna Grace Barlow, Kimberly Williams-Paisley
The narrative is numbingly agreeable, with likable characters working through a drama with no real teeth.
Has its high points but is characterized by an exhaustive repetitiveness that diminishes what was so good and unique about the first two installments of the series.
Run Time: 1:40
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.
Run Time: 1:52
U.S. Release Date: 2023-02-10
MPAA Rating: "R" (Sexual Content, Profanity)
Genre: Drama/Romance
Director: Steven Soderbergh
Cast: Channing Tatum, Salma Hayek Pinault, Ayub Khan Din, Jemelia George, Juliette Motamed
A rare misfire for director Steven Soderbergh; there is something unsatisfying about this motion picture.
The things that work outweigh those that do not and the performance by Hanks is the glue that holds everything together.
The movie does not do Philip Marlowe a disservice but neither does it successfully re-invent the character for a new era and its attendant audience.
Run Time: 1:54
U.S. Release Date: 2023-03-03
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Guy Ritchie
Cast: Jason Statham, Aubrey Plaza, Cary Elwes, Hugh Grant, Josh Hartnett, Bugzy Malone, Eddie Marsan, Peter Ferdinando
The lukewarm spy thriller offers a convoluted, meandering storyline almost entirely devoid of tension and suspense.
Offers two hours of fan service while serving up enough gore to appeal to many generic slasher/horror movie aficionados.
An undercooked casserole of cliched narrative elements, underdeveloped characters, juvenile humor, and a deus ex machina cameo.
One cannot help but wish the fantasy is better realized and the ending does not feel rushed and unearned.
