Never one to settle for jump scares, this one takes its time to deliver its gut punch ending.

★★★½★ Haunted Mansion
Manages to zig zag from funny to scary to heartfelt in the same scene providing plenty to love on Disney's second ride.

★★★★★ Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One
Continuing the trend of the one franchise that keeps getting better with each entry, this is one 'Mission' you have to accept.

★★★★★ No Hard Feelings
Hilarious and raunchy, with a huge side of sweetness, and a hint of drama to keep things grounded. The best Farrelly Brothers film they've never made.

PG
★★★★★ The Little Mermaid
Never a complete failure, with plenty to float most audiences' boats as my nine year old guest gave it "5 stars!"

PG-13
★★★★★ Fast X
The well looked like it had run dry, but with Momoa in the villain seat, he fills it back up all on his own.

★★★★½ Polite Society
A fantastic mashup of Quentin Tarantino and Edgar Wright delivering both laughs and action, if more family friendly.

★★★★★ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
People can say what they want about Phase 4 and 'Quantumania,' the MCU is officially back on track!

★★½★★ Beau Is Afraid
Spectacularly crafted, but never lives up to the heights of its ambitions. Be afraid, be very afraid, of the runtime.

★★★★½ Renfield
Hilarious and gory with a dash of brains and heart, this could be start of a beautiful franchise.

★★★★★ Air
Hilarious and heartfelt, there's only one thing to say about seeing this one: just do it!

★★★★★ The Super Mario Bros. Movie
Poorly plotted and horribly edited, nostalgia is hard to come by for something you can just play on the couch whenever you want.

★★★★★ John Wick: Chapter 4
Way more of what we've come to love, but is it finally a chance of too much?

★★★★½ Shazam! Fury of the Gods
Bigger, funnier, sweeter, and even slightly creepier, a fantastic sequel!

★★★★★ Scream VI
One of the best sequels yet. Fast paced, bloody, scary, hilarious, everything we come to a 'Scream' film for.

PG-13
★★★★★ Creed III
Can't help but fall into sports drama tropes, but still better than the 'Rocky' films.

★★★½★ Children of the Corn
Never reaches the heights of great King adaptations, but never tries to either, but definitely one of the better.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania
The MCU continues to expand with Kang proving himself the perfect successor to Thanos. M.O.D.O.K. gives me life!

★★½★★ Knock at the Cabin
Shyamalan keeps sharpening his filmmaking skills, while letting his storytelling continue to rust.

★★★½★ Plane
Never tries to reinvent the wheel, while never falling prey to dumb. Strap in and buckle up for the year’s first whiteknuckler!

★★★★★ Violent Night
You better watch out, because ho-ho-holy cow, your new favorite Christmas movie is coming to town. Harbour & Co. sleigh in the season's biggest crowd-pleaser!

★★★★★ The Fabelmans
Autobiographical without being sappy or cloying, no one is more fun to watch than Spielberg having fun.

★★★★½ Glass Onion
The rare sequel that betters the original at every twist and turn.
