★★★★★ The Commuter
Ridiculous and just dumb enough to be fun. This one would make the 'Key & Peele' valets proud.

★★★★★ Insidious: The Last Key
Boring, muddled, unintentionally hilarious. None of which should ever apply to an 'Insidious' film.
Brooks Bird
PG
★★★★★ The Greatest Showman
Jackman ring-leads one of the year's best films and the best musical since 'Moulin Rouge' and 'Chicago.'
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★½★ Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Extra jokey and way too long, 'The Last Jedi' is not the second coming of 'Empire Strikes Back.'

PG-13
★★★★★ Star Wars: The Last Jedi
With new and unexpected twists, 'Episode VIII' is a 'Star Wars' movie to cherish in the sprawling saga.

★★★★★ The Disaster Artist
Surprisingly poignant, explosively hilarious, yet never mocking. Wiseau gets his just desserts in one of the year's best films about one of the all-time worst.

★★★★½ Coco
Featuring lots of respect to the culture on display, 'Coco' is about far more than just Dia de los Muertos. As expected, bring a box of tissues.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★½★ Justice League
While it still suffers from CGI-overload and a clunky pace, it's at least the third best of the DCEU.

PG-13
★★½★★ Murder on the Orient Express
A sluggish pace and disconnected tones keep this 'Murder' from chugging along.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Thor: Ragnarok
Hilarious, bright, and super fun. This is the Hulk, err, Thor movie we've been waiting for!
Brooks Bird
R
★★★★½ Blade Runner 2049
A somber, intelligent second round of dystopian Los Angeles goodness.

R
★★★★★ Kingsman: The Golden Circle
While it never hits the creative heights of the original, there's still tons of fun left in our ragtag group of spies.

PG
★★★★★ The LEGO Ninjago Movie
Every brick as good as the first two 'LEGO' movies.
Brooks Bird
R
★★★★★ It
Creepy, bloody, hilarious, and heartfelt. Everything we've come to expect from a King novel finally finds its way to the big screen. Bring on Chapter 2!

R
★★★★★ Annabelle: Creation
The director of 'Lights Out' and the writer of the first 'Annabelle' completely redeem themselves with the year's scariest film so far!
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ The Dark Tower
The story is a truncated muddled disaster, but key elements are intact for better films to come if Ka wills it, but let's not get our hopes up.
Brooks Bird
R
★★★★½ Atomic Blonde
While the story may be same old, it's filled to the brim with some of the best action put on film.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Dunkirk
Bombastic, creatively simplistic, gorgeously shot, and directed by Nolan at the top of his game.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Wish Upon
Destined to become a new cult classic for all the wrong reasons. Sax Dad steals the show, Phillippe has to be seen to be believed.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Spider-Man: Homecoming
This is the Spider-Man we've been waiting for as our favorite friendly neighborhood web-slinger gets his due. One of the best films of the year.
Brooks Bird
PG
★★½★★ Despicable Me 3
Lacks the charm and laughs of the first two films, but is at least better than 'Minions.'
Brooks Bird
R
★★★★★ Baby Driver
Wright shows he can play in the sandbox all by himself even better than with the help of his friends.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ The Book of Henry
With a love it or hate it twist right smack tab in the middle, the film is still entertaining, even if it never quite earns its tear-jerking.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ 47 Meters Down
Never pretends to be Oscar bait, it's also far from a bucket of chum.
