"Godzilla Minus One" is not just a good Godzilla movie. It is an excellent Godzilla movie – arguably among the best ever to grace the screen.

Run Time: 1:40
U.S. Release Date: 2023-08-25
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Thematic Material)
Genre: Drama
Director: Guy Nattiv
Cast: Helen Mirren, Rami Heuberger, Ohad Knoller, Liev Schreiber

As a snapshot of 20th century history, "Golda" does its job. As something more eloquent and important, the film falls short of its goal.

Run Time: 2:15
U.S. Release Date: 2023-08-25
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Intense Scenes)
Genre: Drama
Director: Neill Blomkamp
Cast: Archie Madekwe, David Harbour, Orlando Bloom, Darren Barnet, Djimon Hounsou, Geri Halliwell

There is enough here to keep the film from being a car wreck but it is hardly an example of championship caliber filmmaking.

Suffers from problems that have dogged the latest round of comic book movies: a too-long running time, not enough genuine excitement, a generic villain, and a weak ending.

Run Time: 2:03
U.S. Release Date: 2023-04-21
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Action/Drama
Director: Guy Ritchie
Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Dar Salim, Antony Starr, Jonny Lee Miller, Emily Beecham, Fariba Sheikhan

Ritchie is unquestionably making the attempt to craft a more meaningful and mature movie than anything he has previously done.

Run Time: 2:09
U.S. Home Release Date: 2023-05-30
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Drugs Use/Addiction)
Genre: Drama
Director: Zach Braff
Cast: Florence Pugh, Morgan Freeman, Celeste O’Connor, Molly Shannon, Chinaza Uche

The participation of Florence Pugh and Morgan Freeman, both in top form, transforms this from a middling weeper into a deeply felt meditation about the ravages of drug addiction.

I can make a compelling case that this is the best version of Pinocchio to-date, and that includes the Disney classic.

Funnier than almost any other 2022 film and more entertaining than many of the bloated would-be blockbusters dotting the release schedule.

Run Time: 2:03
U.S. Release Date: 2022-10-26
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Nudity)
Genre: Drama/Thriller
Director: Tobias Lindholm
Cast: Jessica Chastain, Eddie Redmayne, Noah Emmerich, Nnamdi Asomugha, Kim Dickens

Both actors give the roles their full attention and that, at least, is enough to keep the viewer engaged when the script fails – something that happens with disappointing frequency.

The filmmakers do a good enough job of crafting exciting moments but the lack of a compelling storyline keeps the movie from attaining escape velocity.
