Genre: Thriller
Director: Dito Montiel

A perfectly adequate thriller with bleakly comedic overtones but, with a cast this accomplished, better expectations are reasonable.

Genre: Action/Adventure

Genre: Drama/Comedy
Director: Jesse Eisenberg
Cast: Kieran Culkin, Jesse Eisenberg, Jennifer Grey, Will Sharpe, Daniel Oreskes, Liza Sadovy, Kurt Egyiawan

Genre: Horror/Comedy
Director: Bill Froelich
Cast: Lori Lethin, Brendan Hughes, Alex Rocco, Scott Jacoby, Andy Romano, Maureen, Philip McKeon, George Clooney
A promising premise, once compromised by an inadequate director, inept actors, horrific dialogue, and a host of other problems, is unable to rise to the surface.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Nimrod Antal
Cast: Liam Neeson, Matthew Modine, Embeth Davidtz, Jack Champion, Lilly Aspell, Noma Dumezweni
"Retribution" seems especially disappointing because of its untapped potential to be cheesily entertaining.

MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Animated
Director: Kirk DeMicco
Cast: Lana Condor, Toni Collette, Annie Murphy, Colman Domingo, Jane Fonda
Although the movie has the capacity to engage and entertain young children, its bland storyline and cut-rate animation will not impress many adults.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity)
Genre: Horror/Comedy
Director: Chris McKay
Cast: Nicholas Hoult, Nicolas Cage, Awkwafina, Ben Schwartz, Shohreh Aghdashlooo
The Nicolas Cage version of Dracula is so outrageous that it puts to shame previous attempts at parodying the Count. Too bad the rest of "Renfield" doesn’t come close to being on the same level.

By the time the 3-hour running time has expired, most viewers will be exhausted from the nonstop energy of the experience.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Gore, Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Horror/Thriller
Director: Andrew Semans
Cast: Rebecca Hall, Tim Roth, Grace Kaufman, Michael Esper
More notable for the performances of Tim Roth, Grace Kaufman, and especially Rebecca Hall than the supernatural elements or the narrative.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity, Sexual Content, Drugs)
Genre: Comedy/Science Fiction
Director: Alex Cox
Cast: Emilio Estevez, Harry Dean Stanton, Tracey Walter, Olivia Barash, Sy Richardson, Jennifer Balgobin, Dick Rude
It’s short enough that it never overstays its welcome and is generally a fun, wild ride, even though it may at times be difficult to figure out where the journey began and where it ends.
