MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama/Comedy
Director: Woody Allen
Cast: Wallace Shawn, Gina Gershon, Elena Anaya, Louis Garrel, Sergi Lopez, Christoph Waltz, Richard Kind
One has to wonder whether Woody Allen continues to make movies not because the passion for the creative act still burns but because this has become a comfortable habit.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Disaster Sequences, Profanity, Violence)
Genre: Action/Adventure
Director: Ric Roman Waugh
Cast: Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, Roger Dale Floyd, Scott Glenn
In different times, it might have been possible to give "Greenland" a lukewarm recommendation for anyone looking for something frenetic and mindless.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Nudity)
Genre: Drama/Mystery

The filmmakers have played unfairly, using sleight-of-hand in place of genuine emotional development.

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.

MPAA Rating: "PG" (Disturbing Images)
Genre: Horror/Comedy
Director: Robert Zemeckis

A forgettable, pre-fabricated movie in the "Goosebumps" tradition.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Disturbing Images)
Genre: Drama/Thriller
Director: Charlie Kaufman
Cast: Jessie Buckley, Jesse Plemons, Toni Collette, David Thewlis, Guy Boyd
Kaufman once again reminds us that, without someone to shape the writer’s constructs, we’re destined to become stuck in a frustrating morass of eccentricity and self-indulgence.
U.S. Release Date: 2020-08-28
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity)
Genre: Comedy
Director: Dean Parisot
Cast: Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, Kristen Schaal, Samara Weaving, Brigette Lundy-Paine, William Sadler, Anthony Carrigan, Erinn Hayes, Jayma Mays
Silly, dumb, and completely nonsensical – exactly what one could reasonably expect from the movie and what the fans (given a choice) would demand.
U.S. Release Date: 2020-08-06
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity)
Genre: Comedy/Fantasy
Director: Brandon Trost
Cast: Seth Rogen, Sarah Snook, Molly Evensen, Eliot Glazer, Kalen Allen
Seth Rogen, playing two roles and showing no chemistry with himself, is in “comedy mode” here but the material isn’t funny enough for that to work.
U.S. Release Date: 2020-08-07
MPAA Rating: "R" (Disturbing Images, Profanity, Sexual Content, Drugs)
Genre: Horror
Director: Amy Seimetz
Cast: Kate Lyn Sheil, Jane Adams, Chris Messina, Katie Aselton, Kentucker Audley, Tunde Adebimpe, Jennifer Kim
Seimetz is trying to get at some compelling truths about the human experience but the cold, distant filmmaking style creates a barrier.
U.S. Release Date: 2020-07-24
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Sexual Content, Nudity, Disturbing Images)
Genre: Drama
Director: Marjane Satrapi
Cast: Rosamund Pike, Sam Riley, Simon Russell Beale, Sian Brooke, Aneurin Barnard, Anya Taylor-Joy
The relatively straightforward bio-pic trajectory feels more like a Victorian/Edwardian era soap opera than the chronicle of a scientific pioneer.
