MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity, Nudity)
Genre: Thriller/Drama
Director: Dan Friedkin
Cast: Guy Pearce, Claes Bang, Vicky Krieps, Roland Moller, August Diehl, Olivia Grant
Something of an old-fashioned courtroom melodrama, complete with impassioned speeches, a sneering prosecutor, an antagonistic judge, and a last-minute gotcha!
U.S. Release Date: 2020-11-22
MPAA Rating: "NR" (Profanity)
Genre: Documentary
Director: R.J. Cutler
Cast: John Belushi, Judith Belushi-Pisano, Dan Aykroyd, Jim Belushi, John Landis, Harold Ramis, Carrie Fisher, Chevy Chase
Although "Belushi" doesn't provie new or groundbreaking information, it gets closer to bringing to life the late comedian, with all his demons, than any previous attempt.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Nudity)
Genre: Drama
Director: Sean Durkin
Cast: Jude Law, Carrie Coon, Charlie Shotwell, Oona Roche, Anne Reid
This is either a tragedy or horror movie, depending on your point of view. Maybe, in truth, it’s both.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Horror/Comedy
Director: Christopher Landon
Cast: Vince Vaughn, Kathryn Newton, Katie Finneran, Celeste O’Connor, Misha Osherovich, Uriah Shelton, Dana Drori, Alan Ruck
Although the movie leaves a lot of stones unturned (both in the comedy and horror arenas), there’s enough spattered blood to satisfy fans.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence)
Genre: Action/Comedy
Director: Eshom Nelms, Ian Nelms
Cast: Mel Gibson, Walton Goggins, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Chance Hurstfield, Robert Bockstael
There are indications the filmmakers think they’re operating in the realm of satire but the movie gets lost in action/thriller territory that’s anything but thrilling.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Thomas Bezucha
Cast: Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Lesley Manville, Kayli Carter, Jeffrey Donovan, Will Brittain, Booboo Stewart
The second half, when the thriller elements kick into high gear, is considerably better than the dour, meandering first half.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Disturbing Images)
Genre: Horror
Director: Jacob Chase
Cast: Azhy Robertson, Gillian Jacobs, John Gallagher Jr., Winslow Fegley
Ultimately feels like just another in a long line of disposable, unmemorable kid-in-danger PG-13 horror films, of which there are too many.
U.S. Release Date: 2020-10-23
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Nudity)
Genre: Comedy
Director: Jason Woliner
Cast: Sacha Baron Cohen, Maria Bakalova
As a piece of political satire, "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" is a hit-and-miss affair but, on those occasions when it draws blood, it does so with relish.
U.S. Release Date: 2020-10-22
MPAA Rating: "PG" (Disturbing Images)
Genre: Horror/Comedy
Director: Robert Zemeckis
Cast: Jahzir Bruno, Octavia Spencer, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Chris Rock
A forgettable, pre-fabricated movie in the "Goosebumps" tradition.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Sexual Content, Adult Themes)
Genre: Thriller/Mystery
Director: Ben Wheatley
Cast: Lily James, Armie Hammer, Kristin Scott Thomas, Sam Riley, Ann Dowd
A decade from now, Wheatley’s "Rebecca" will have faded from the memory, entirely eclipsed by Hitchcock’s interpretation.
