★★★★★ Clown in a Cornfield
Old school slasher fun with just enough gore for horror hounds while not getting preachy about life in Middle America.

The action is great... when there is any.

★★★★½ Wolf Man
Whannell ratchets up the tension with each scene for another white-knuckle notch on his belt.

★★★★★ Y2K
Hilarious, gory, and occasionally pretty warped. It's new millennium nostalgia porn, so your mileage may vary.

★★★★★ Moana 2
It's not that I'm mad at you, 'Moana 2,' I'm just so disappointed in you.

★★½★★ Wicked
Way too long, with even more to come, but it will leave its fans in sheer Oz, I mean, awe of its attempted spectacle.

★★★★★ The Killer’s Game
Surprisingly gory, even if via CGI, but painfully boring with no chemistry to speak of between a single cast member.

★★★★★ Alien: Romulus
Harkens back to the original's horror roots, while honoring a surprising entry along the way.

★★★★★ Deadpool & Wolverine
No spoilers! Everyone likes their first time to be special. Every bit as hilarious as you'd expect, with way more heart than you'd expect.

Forgoes nostalgia dumpster diving in favor of broadening the franchise with a new story and characters.

★★★★★ The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare
Based on true events, but undoubtedly with way more 'splosions and gunfights, and all for the better!

PG-13
★★★★★ Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
With a more convoluted cast than story, there's still some power left in the proton packs after 40 years.

★★★★½ Dune: Part Two
"Part Two" finally gives us the whole we've been waiting for and then some!

★★★★★ Drive-Away Dolls
Every bit as hilarious and head-scratchingly lovable as we've come to expect from a Coen.

★★★★★ Night Swim
A few well-paced scare sequences never add up to more than what you've already guessed by the end.

Light and breezy, this is a new wham bam thank you ma'am Marvel that I could get used to.

★★★★½ Strays
As filthy and hilarious as it is shockingly heartwarming, the doggone funniest film of the year has arrived.

★★½★★ The Last Voyage of the Demeter
Stylish and elegant by today's standards, but never once scary and plays more like a thriller than horror.

★★★★★ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
Our beloved "heroes in a half shell" finally get their due on the big screen in a 'Spider-Verse' level reboot.
