Godzilla: King of the Monsters
This metropolis-mulching monster masher makes superhero-movie destruction look almost dainty in comparison.
Rocketman
Even as Rocketman chronicles Elton’s many missteps and shows us his failures, it can’t help but unintentionally celebrate them in a way.
Always Be My Maybe
Even with compelling actors who know how to score a laugh, there’s still plenty of content to work through here.
Booksmart
Booksmart makes some solid points about friendship and acceptance. But it does so by making the most of its R rating.
All Is True
There’s a certain paradox in the title All Is True: This movie about William Shakespeare is largely speculation.
Brightburn
Like the disturbed alien child at its center, this movie feels bad to its very marrow.
John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum
The John Wick movies aren’t so much stories as they are ballets of blood.
The Sun Is Also a Star
This angst-filled story’s positive themes are drowned out by some harsh profanity, racial slurs and suggestive conversations.
Poms
The Hollywood caricature of what it takes to be old and “cool” diminishes the upbeat message this film wants to send.
The Hustle
While trying to make a statement of sorts about exploited women, this remake mostly exploits crude humor itself in search of a cheap laugh.
