MPAA Rating: "NR" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Comedy/Drama
Director: Jon E. Cohen
Cast: Rancel Edwards, Erin Karpluk, Michael Xavier, Erin Agostino, Jonas Chernick, Mia Kirshner
This superficial and lightweight approach might make for adequate TV viewing but it functions more as a clumsy tease than a satisfying motion picture.

Genre: Thriller
Director: Stefano Sollima
Cast: Benicio Del Toro, Josh Brolin, Isabela Moner, Jeffrey Donovan, Catherine Keener, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Matthew Modine, Shea Whigham, Elijah Rodriguez
Retains the edge-of-the-seat and nihilistic qualities of its predecessor, but there are shifts to the overall tone, which is neither as stark nor as ominous.
U.S. Release Date: 2018-05-25

Genre: Science Fiction/Adventure
Director: Ron Howard
Cast: Alden Ehrenreich, Joonas Suotamo, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Thandie Newton, Paul Bettany, Phoebe Waller-Bridge
The prioritization of highlighting moments of "Star Wars" lore over telling a compelling story makes "Solo" feel overlong and anticlimactic.

Genre: Comedy
Director: Zak Knutson
Cast: Maggie Grace, Clancy Brown, John Malkovich, Ryan Kwanten, Mike Epps, Russell Peters, Brooks Braselman
This more-dumb-than-funny stoner comedy has its moments, although not nearly enough of them.

MPAA Rating: "NR" (Sexual Content, Nudity, Adult Themes)
Genre: Drama/Documentary
Director: Al Pacino
Cast: Al Pacino, Jessica Chastain, Kevin Anderson, Estelle Parsons, Roxanne Hart
"Wilde Salome" falls into the category of an “interesting failure”; the experience is a mixed bag likely successful only for those who enjoy cinematic experiments.
U.S. Release Date: 1987-01-23
MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity, Nudity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Horror/Thriller
Director: Joseph Ruben
Cast: Terry O’Quinn, Jill Schoelen, Shelley Hack, Charles Lanyer, Stephen Shellen
Doesn’t hold up quite as well as it did during the late 1980s but it still generates suspense and O’Quinn’s performance has lost none of its power.
U.S. Release Date: 2016-04-15
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Drugs)
Genre: Drama/Comedy/Musical
Director: John Carney
Cast: Ferdia Walsh-Peelo, Lucy Boynton, Jack Reynor, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Aidan Gillen, Ben Carolan, Mark McKenna, Percy Chamburuka, Ian Kenny
Director John Carney infuses the familiar framework of the “coming of age” story with songs and whimsy and a touch of romance.
U.S. Release Date: 2017-12-15

Director: Rian Johnson
Cast: Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Domhnall Gleeson, Laura Dern, Billie Lourd, Anthony Daniels, Kelly Marie Tran, Benicio Del Toro, Andy Serkis
Standout, signature scenes make for moments of great viewing power but can’t hide the flaws of an untidy, overlong story.
