This is solid, middle-of-the-road Pixar, not quite as good as some of their better sequels but superior to the "Cars" follow-ups.

MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Fantasy
Director: John Krasinski
Cast: Cailey Fleming, Ryan Reynolds, John Krasinski, Fiona Shaw, Steve Carell, Alan Kim
The narrative is all over the place. Character motivation is confusing. And, worst of all, the story simply is not interesting.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Robert Lorenz
Cast: Liam Neeson, Kerry Condon, Ciaran Hinds, Jack Gleeson, Sarah Greene, Colm Meaney, Desmond Eastwood
Director Robert Lorenz does a good job of generating suspense but his handling of smaller, character-based moments is uneven at best.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Nudity)
Genre: Horror
Director: Michael Mohan
Cast: Sydney Sweeney, Alvaro Morte, Benedetta Porcaroli, Dora Romano, Giorgio Colangeli
It is at times unsettling and the ending contains a strong shock element but the movie as a whole feels a little too familiar to engage its audience.

Genre: Horror

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Science Fiction/Thriller
Director: Gabriela Cowperthwaite
Cast: Chris Messina, John Gallagher Jr., Masha Mashkova, Costa Ronin, Ariana DeBose, Pilou Asbaek
As a sci-fi thriller, it does not disappoint but neither does it go above or beyond what one might reasonably expect based on the trailer.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Violence, Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama
Director: Sean Durkin

Genre: Action/Adventure
Director: James Mangold
Cast: Harrison Ford, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads Mikkelsen, Boyd Holbrook, Antonio Banderas, Toby Jones, Thomas Kretschmann, John Rhys-Davies, Karen Allen, Ethann Bergua-Isidore
As an action-adventure film, this one is adequate but there is a sense that the production should be more special than “adequate.”
