MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Nudity, Profanity)
Genre: Horror
Director: John Erick Dowdle
Cast: Ben Messmer, Stacy Chbosky, Ivar Brogger, Lou George, Michael Lawson, Samantha Robson

For all its skill at mimicry, it has nothing to say and no real story to tell. It’s as ephemeral as it is unpleasant – a rancid little curiosity whose impressions are easily flushed.

Challenges the kind of by-the-numbers approach that has dominated multiplex fare this year; it is brave, unconventional, and unique.

Run Time: 1:53
U.S. Release Date: 2023-11-03
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Drugs)
Genre: Drama
Director: Sofia Coppola
Cast: Cailee Spaeny, Jacob Elordi, Ari Cohen, Dagmara Dominczyk, Tim Post

This mean-spirited and unpleasant production is unlikely to find favor with many either inside or outside of the Elvis fan base.

U.S. Release Date: 2023-06-02
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity)
Genre: Drama
Director: Celine Song
Cast: Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, John Magaro

"Past Lives" is quietly powerful – an understated examination of longing, connection, and unconsummated love.

Run Time: 1:36
U.S. Release Date: 2023-04-07
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Sexual Content, Drugs)
Genre: Comedy/Drama
Director: Brit McAdams
Cast: Owen Wilson, Ciara Renee, Michaela Watkins, Stephen Root, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Lucy Freyer

Comes across like a mediocre SNL skit that is already running too long before the first half-hour has expired.

U.S. Release Date: 1985-08-09
MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Comedy
Director: Tim Burton
Cast:

Unevenly paced and narratively scattershot, it offers moments of entertainment but lacks cohesion and consistency.

The movie offers limited entertainment for those who enjoy this sort of fare but fails as anything more than a throw-away streaming option.

Run Time: 1:42
U.S. Home Release Date: 2022-11-15
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Sexual Content, Nudity)
Genre: Horror
Director: Ti West
Cast: Mia Goth, Tandi Wright, Matthew Sunderland, David Corenswet, Emma Jenkins-Purro, Alistair Sewell

For those enamored with Ti West’s extraordinarily entertaining 2022 horror film, "X," his latest effort is required viewing, although it’s a much different kettle of fish.

The more familiarity one has with Jane Austen, the more likely the 2022 "Persuasion" is to be seen as an abomination.

Run Time: 2:03
U.S. Release Date: 2021-12-24
MPAA Rating: "R" (Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama
Director: Pedro Almodovar
Cast: Penelope Cruz, Milena Smit, Rossy De Palma, Aitana Sánchez-Gijón, Israel Elejalde

Thoroughly conventional by the director’s standards, the central narrative is accessible and offers a wrenching emotional experience.
