U.S. Release Date: 2019-03-01
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)
Genre: Horror/Thriller
Director: Neil Jordan
Cast: Isabelle Huppert, Chloë Grace Moretz, Maika Monroe, Colm Feore, Stephen Rea
Little more than a B-movie with strong production values and an eclectic cast, this is far from Jordan at his best.
U.S. Release Date: 2019-01-18
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence)
Genre: Science Fiction
Director: M. Night Shyamalan
Cast: James McAvoy, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson, Sarah Paulson, Anya Taylor-Joy, Spencer Treat Clark, Charlayne Woodard
Overlong, talky, filled with meta references, and with a strangely low-energy tone, the movie never fully gels.
U.S. Release Date: 2018-11-09
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity, Nudity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Fede Alvarez
Cast: Claire Foy, Sverrir Gudnason, Sylvia Hoeks, Lakeith Stanfield, Stephen Merchant, Cameron Britton, Vicky Krieps
A generic espionage/crime thriller; although briskly paced, the plot is far from airtight and demands a deus ex machina to reach its climax.

MPAA Rating: "NR"
Genre: Drama
Director: Cecil B. DeMille
Cast: Charlton Heston, James Stewart, Betty Hutton, Cornel Wilde, Dorothy Lamour, Gloria Grahame, Lawrence Tierney, Bob Carson
Not a bad movie but the passage of time hasn’t been kind to it. The things that made it popular upon its release either don’t apply or don’t work for a 2018 audience.
U.S. Release Date: -
MPAA Rating: "PG" (Sexual Content, Brief Nudity)
Genre: Drama/Comedy
Director: Mike Nichols
Cast: Dustin Hoffman, Anne Bancroft, Katharine Ross, William Daniels, Murray Hamilton, Elizabeth Wilson, Buck Henry, Norman Fell
Despite not aging well, "The Graduate" remain worth seeing primarily for Anne Bancroft’s performance but also as a time capsule looking at a lifestyle that would soon disappear.
U.S. Release Date: 2017-10-13
MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Drama
Director: Simon Curtis
Cast: Domhnall Gleeson, Margot Robbie, Kelly MacDonald, Will Tilston, Alex Lawther
Although hewing close to the established facts, the movie amps up the sentimental content for maximum effect.

Genre: Horror
Director: Rich Ragsdale

"The Girl on the Train" doesn’t derail but it’s not the smoothest of rides.
