Beirut
If you’re considering buying a ticket to Beirut, know that you’ll have to navigate that city’s war-torn streets and cratered culture.
Blockers
If I’m being honest, I’d like to block this one from memory.
A Quiet Place
A Quiet Place is a stark tale of fighting for survival in the face of a horrific, insidious threat.
Chappaquiddick
If you’re expecting an exposé addressing unanswered questions about the events of July 18, 1969, prepare for disappointment.
Acrimony
Before the credits roll, Acrimony boards an express train to Crazyville.
Isle of Dogs
Isle of Dogs has some nice messages and a worthy moral. But it also can be sad and kinda disturbing and even tickles tragedy at times.
Unsane
Unsane is a nightmarish, darkly disturbing and corrosively foul movie.
Midnight Sun
In some ways, this was a pretty typical teen romance movie. In other ways, it surprised me a bit.
Pacific Rim Uprising
This fast-moving, rock-’em-sock-’em pic is what it is: a matinee creature-feature begging for a tub of butter-soaked popcorn.
Tomb Raider
This Lara Croft reboot does female empowerment right, albeit in a slightly over-the-top, cinematic video game sort of way.
