U.S. Release Date: 2025-02-28
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity, Sexual Content, Nudity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Dito Montiel
Cast: Ed Harris, Lewis Pullman, Jennifer Coolidge, Gabrielle Union, Bill Murray, Pete Davidson, Miles J. Harvey, Emanuela Postachini, Michael Covino
A perfectly adequate thriller with bleakly comedic overtones but, with a cast this accomplished, better expectations are reasonable.
U.S. Release Date: 2025-02-28
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Scenes of Peril, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Alex Parkinson
Cast: Woody Harrelson, Simu Liu, Finn Cole, Cliff Curtis, Mark Bonnar
The production is workmanlike but it feels more like a good made-for-streaming production than an immersive big-screen experience.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Comedy/Drama
Director: Michael Morris
Cast: Renee Zellweger, Gemma Jones, Jim Broadbent, Colin Firth, Leo Woodall, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Emma Thompson, Hugh Grant, Casper Knopf, Mila Jankovic, Nico Parker
Although more mediocre than terrible, this unnecessary installment never should have been made.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Science Fiction/Thriller
Director: Scott Derrickson
Cast: Miles Teller, Anya Taylor-Joy, Sigourney Weaver
The buildup is fantastic. They payoff, with its generic action scenes and generic zombie/alien monster, is not.
U.S. Release Date: 2025-01-03
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore)
Genre: Horror
Director: Thordur Palsson
Cast: Odessa Young, Joe Cole, Lewis Gribben, Siobhan Finneran, Francis Magee, Rory McCann
Although director Thordur Palsson succeeds in developing the setting and crafting an unnerving atmosphere, the screenplay fails in several critical areas.
U.S. Release Date: 2024-12-20
MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Animated/Adventure
Director: Barry Jenkins
Cast: Aaron Pierre, Thandiwe Newton, Mads Mikkelson, Donald Glover, Tiffany Boone, Billy Eichner, Seth Rogen, John Kani, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Blue Ivy Carter
A movie absolutely no one in the general public was clamoring for and, although many will see it, the well-earned “unnecessary” label should stick.
U.S. Release Date: 2024-11-27
MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Animated
Director: David Derrick Jr., Jason Hand, Dana Ledoux Miller
Cast: Auli’I Cravalho, Dwayne Johnson, Hualalai Chung, Rose Matafeo, David Fane, Awhimai Fraser, Khaleesi Lambert-Tsuda, Temeura Morrison, Nicole Scherzinger
Likely please the legions of "Moana" fans and is easily digestible for accompanying parents even if it falls short of being the next Disney classic.
U.S. Release Date: 2024-11-22
MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Musical/Fantasy
Director: Jon M. Chu
Cast: Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande-Butera, Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode, Peter Dinklage
This adaptation of the stage musical gives us eye-popping settings, big-screen expansions of Broadway numbers, and far too much stretching of an already-thin narrative.
U.S. Release Date: 2024-11-01
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Hans Petter Moland
Cast: Liam Neeson, Ron Perlman, Frankie Shaw, Daniel Diemer, Yolanda Ross, Javier Molina
Possibly too generic for those with an affinity for movies about larger-than-life figures diminished by infirmity and too downbeat for those who have enjoyed the action/thriller outings of Liam Neeson.
U.S. Release Date: 2024-11-01
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama
Director: Robert Zemeckis
Cast: Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Paul Bettany, Kelly Reilly, Michelle Dockery, Gwilym Lee, Ophelia Lovibond, David Fynn
"Here" wants to depict the everyday life of an historically anonymous person and, stripping away the distractions created by the failed artificial structure, it mostly accomplishes that goal.
