★★★★★ Knives Out
A great will-they-get-away-with-it buried under all the quirks people complain about Wes Anderson overusing.

★★★★½ A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
It may not have completely won me over, but Hanks and Rhys make one of the year's best odd couples.

★★½★★ Frozen II
Keep expectations in check, this is not the latest and greatest Disney has to offer.

★★★★★ Ford v Ferrari
The Oscar race officially starts here!

★★½★★ Last Christmas
Never as charming as it thinks, with leads who have zero chemistry, and a "twist" you'll see coming a mile away!

★★★★★ Doctor Sleep
An exemplary marriage of Kubrick's film, King's original novel, and 'Doctor Sleep.'

★★★★½ Terminator: Dark Fate
James Cameron returns to further the story he started 35 years ago. But where do we go without Skynet?
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Countdown
Never tries to reinvent the wheel, but provides enough thrills to warrant a weekend out.
Brooks Bird
PG
★★★★½ The Addams Family
The plot may be weak, but that's not why we're here!
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Gemini Man
The story is pure '90s ridiculousness, but it's not the worst film Smith, or Lee, have made.
Brooks Bird
PG
★★½★★ Abominable
Super sweet, but super dumb.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★½★★ Ad Astra
A mismarketed attempt to look like the next '2001' or 'Interstellar' that merely winds up being a melodrama about daddy issues.

★★★★½ Ready or Not
Quick, wicked, hilarious, and gross. Ready or not, don't spoil the ending!

★★★★½ Good Boys
Every bit as filthy, hilarious, and sweet as we've come to expect with Seth Rogen behind the scenes.

PG-13
★★★★★ Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
With expectations in check, you're bound to have a helluva good time. Even if not quite of the scariest kind.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw
Every bit as big dumb fun as you'd hope from a movie with double ampersands in its title!
Brooks Bird
PG
★★★★★ The Farewell
The perfect escape for adults looking to beat the summer heat and 'splosions.
Brooks Bird
PG
★★★★★ The Lion King
Timon and Pumbaa once again steal the show in a visually jaw dropping, but ultimately heartless, retread.
Brooks Bird
R
★★★★★ Stuber
Gets way more mileage out of the chemistry of the leads than the screenplay.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Spider-Man: Far From Home
A sense of loss hovers over what may as well be called 'Spider-Man's National Lampoon's European Vacation,' but it never gets in the way of the fun.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Yesterday
Doesn't have the rom-com edge of most of Richard Curtis's classics, but Danny Boyle keeps his focus on the music to more than make up for it.

★★★★★ Toy Story 4
Pixar continues to raise their own bar with each 'Toy Story' and this one's no different. Even while being the funniest of the franchise.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★½★ Men in Black: International
Never as good as the first or third, it sets up the franchise for new adventures and Thompson proves to be an amazing lead.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★½★ Dark Phoenix
Never as emotional as 'Logan,' or as bloated as 'Apocalypse,' Kinberg grounds the franchise as it fares adieu in the midst of the Disney merger.
