Cast: Storm Reid, Nia Long, Ken Leung, Joaquim de Almeida, Megan Suri, Daniel Henney, Amy Landecker, Tim Griffin

Genre: Thriller
Director: Paul Roland
Cast: Paul Roland, Joseph Griffin, Brittany Lewis, Francis Cronin, Jennifer Massey, Kenan Jerome Floyd, Nelson Ritthaler

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama
Director: Darren Aronofsky

Genre: Drama
Director: Marc Forster
Cast: Tom Hanks, Mariana Trevino, Rachel Keller, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Cameron Britton, Mike Birbiglia, Truman Hanks

Genre: Drama/Thriller
Director: Mary Nighy

MPAA Rating: "R" (Racial Violence, Mental Illness, Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama
Director: Sam Mendes
Cast: Olivia Colman, Micheal Ward, Colin Firth, Toby Jones
Offers an appetizer of nostalgia for those who remember theaters during the early 1980s but the main course is not the easiest to digest, despite several strong performances.

Genre: Drama
Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Gabriel LaBelle, Chloe East, Oakes Fegley, Sam Rechner, Judd Hirsch, Mateo Zoryon Francis-DeFord, Seth Rogen, Paul Dano, Michelle Williams, David Lynch
It probably will not go down as “Great Spielberg” or even “Very Good Spielberg” but represents a warm, enjoyable plunge into the 1950s and 1960s.
