★★★★½ Ant-Man and the Wasp
The Wasp shows that Marvel really does understand female superheroes better than anyone and gives Lilly the chance to shine.

PG-13
★★★★½ Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
Can the series still be spun in a new, wild direction? You bet Jurassican!

PG
★★★★½ Incredibles 2
May not have as much to say about superhero movies this time, but Bird continues to prove he's one of the best action directors around.

★★★★½ Tag
Hilarious and good-natured, never mean-spirited.

★★★★★ Hereditary
This is the real deal. One of the scariest films ever made, make sure you wear your brown pants.
Brooks Bird
R
★★★★★ Hotel Artemis
Writer/director Pearce make a lackluster debut and has no idea what kind of film he's trying to make.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Solo: A Star Wars Story
Ehrenreich, Glover, and Lucasfilm give us the 'Solo' origin we deserve while putting a definitive stamp on an age old Solo debate.
Brooks Bird
R
★★★★★ Deadpool 2
Succeeding where others have failed before, 'Deadpool 2' manages to out-Deadpool the first!
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Avengers: Infinity War
Thanos is a marvelous villain and Marvel Studios are finally not pulling their punches.
Brooks Bird
R
★★★★★ Super Troopers 2
Hilarious from start to finish. If the formula ain't broke, don't fix it!
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Rampage
Boring, talky, and never bothers to make you ever care about what's going on. It's not the worst video game adaptation, but it's far from good.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ A Quiet Place
Intense, genuinely frightening, and the most affecting horror movie since 'The Orphanage.'
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Ready Player One
Hilarious, heartfelt, jaw-dropping. Spielberg's entire oeuvre — and the last 30 years — explodes before our eyes.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Pacific Rim Uprising
The worst kind of sequel. Big, loud, and extremely dumb. The love child of 'Transformers' and 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.' Fans of the original should boycott.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Tomb Raider
Never dumb enough to try to pretend it's smarter than it needs to be to get us from one action scene to the next.
Brooks Bird
PG
★★★★★ A Wrinkle in Time
Nonsensical in the worst ways with a plodding pace despite its empowering messages.
Brooks Bird
R
★★★★★ Red Sparrow
Rapey and gross, I can't use the word rapey enough to describe this dreck.
Brooks Bird
R
★★★★★ Death Wish
Never knows which side it wants to be on, horribly timed, and features some of Willis's worst acting yet.
Brooks Bird
R
★★★★½ Game Night
Hilarious and a complete blast!
Brooks Bird
R
★★★★½ Annihilation
The future of hard sci-fi is safe in the hands of Alex Garland and I hope he gets to make the rest of the series.
Brooks Bird
PG
★★★★★ Early Man
Gorgeously animated and hilarious.

PG-13
★★★★★ Black Panther
The King of Wakanda lives up to his 'Civil War' introduction and his backup kicks every bit as much butt.

★★★★★ 12 Strong
You'll need '12 Strong' cups of coffee to stay awake through this one.
