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: 2019-03-08
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Action/Adventure
Director: Anna Boden, Ryan Fleck
Cast: Brie Larson, Lee Pace, Gemma Chan, Clark Gregg, Lashana Lynch, Annette Bening, Jude Law, Ben Mendelsohn, Samuel L. Jackson, Djimon Hounsou
There’s plenty of visual pizzazz and action but the movie is geared more for those interested in getting their MCU fix than being fully immersed in a unique superhero experience.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity, Nudity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Michael Winterbottom
Cast: Dev Patel, Radhika Apte, Jim Sarbh
An intriguing blend of globetrotting neo-noir and road trip plot elements, it often seems on the cusp of greatness without ever getting there.

MPAA Rating: "NR" (Violence, Sexual Content, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Idris Elba
Cast: Aml Ameen, Sheldon Shepherd, Shantol Jackson, Everaldo Creary, Stephen Graham, Calvin Demba, Antwayne Eccleston
The chances taken compensate for the weakness resulting from a derivative story.

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Adult Themes)
Genre: Drama/Romance
Director: Justin Baldoni
Cast: Haley Lu Richardson, Cole Sprouse, Moises Arias
The problem isn’t the emotional manipulation but the clumsy way in which the movie orchestrates its third act.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Kim Nguyen
Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Alexander Skarsgård, Salma Hayek, Michael Mando, Johan Heldenbergh, Frank Schorpion
Putting aside some dubious narrative contortions, this is an opportunity for its two lead actors to flex their acting muscles.
U.S. Release Date: 2019-03-22
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Horror/Thriller
Director: Jordan Peele
Cast: Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Evan Alex, Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker
Despite an intriguing premise and a single great sequence, "Us" is a muddled affair that goes off the rails the more Peele tries to expand, explore, and explain his basic concept.
U.S. Release Date: 2019-03-29
MPAA Rating: "R" (Sexual Content, Nudity, Violence)
Genre: Drama
Director: James Kent
Cast: Keira Knightley, Alexander Skarsgård, Jason Clarke, Flora Theimann
A curiosity for history buffs and those who enjoy middling period piece melodramas.
U.S. Release Date: 2019-04-19
MPAA Rating: "R" (Sexual Content, Nudity)
Genre: Drama
Director: Trevor Nunn
Cast: Judi Dench, Sophie Cookson, Stephen Campbell Moore, Tom Hughes, Tereza Srbova, Ben Miles
Although the story is interesting, the presentation isn’t. Individual scenes work but the movie as a whole doesn’t.
U.S. Release Date: 2019-04-19
MPAA Rating: "R" (Sexual Content, Nudity, Profanity, Violence, Drugs)
Genre: Thriller
Director: David Robert Mitchell
Cast: Andrew Garfield, Riley Keough Riki Lindhome, Callie Hernandez, Topher Grace, Grace Van Patten
Despite all the devilishly clever moments, freaky episodes, and general weirdness, "Under the Silver Lake" is ultimately unsatisfying.
