★★★★★ Godzilla: King of the Monsters
A monster mashup that paves the way for next summer's 'Godzilla vs. Kong,' let's get ready to rumble!

PG
★★★★★ Aladdin
Hilarious, charming, and Bollywoodized!

★★★★★ John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum
'Parabellum' raises the bar yet again with even more jaw-dropping action that the rest of the year will be hard-pressed to beat.

PG
★★★★★ Pokémon Detective Pikachu
Surprisingly heartfelt, but never let's you forget it's the Ryan Reynolds show, and there's nothing wrong with that!

★★★★½ Long Shot
Has a lot to say about the current political climate and is hilarious AF!

PG-13
★★★★★ Avengers: Endgame
Emotional, hilarious, weird, and astonishing from start to finish.

★★★★★ The Curse of La Llorona
Boring, cliched, and tedious.

★★★★★ Pet Sematary
May not be a definitive adaptation, but it sure makes up for 'The Dark Tower' functioning more like the film we should have gotten two years ago.

★★★★½ Shazam!
The best post-Nolan DC film, period.

★★★★★ Dumbo
Don’t step right up, folks, there’s nothing to see here.

★★★★★ Us
Suffers from familiarity if you're a horror fan, but it's a great way to get those who aren't in theaters to see it.

PG-13
★★★★★ Five Feet Apart
Surprisingly not based on a book, or a true story, but still plays out exactly the same.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Captain Marvel
With girl power to spare, 'Captain Marvel' smashes the superhero glass ceiling and I can't wait for the inevitable showdown with Thanos.

★★★½★ How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
Never lives up to expectations. It's the best looking — if all-too-similar — of the franchise.

PG-13
★★★★★ Happy Death Day 2U
Hilarity ensues and director Michael Landon even manages to throw in even more heart this time around.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Isn’t It Romantic
Sticks a well-deserved fork into one of the most tired genres ever.

★★★★★ The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part
Hilarious from start to finish with every bit as much heart as the original.

★★★★½ The Kid Who Would Be King
Film geeks, Arthurian fanatics, and kids of all ages — including us young at heart adults — will love every minute of this.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Glass
Suffers from taking itself way too seriously, and a way-too-late twist. What could have wound up Shyamalan's masterpiece suffers from his own worst tendencies.

PG-13
★★½★★ The Upside
Never as funny, nor heartfelt, as it thinks it is.

PG-13
★★½★★ Welcome to Marwen
Never packs the emotional wallop it should, even if the doll scenes are top-notch razzle dazzle.
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★½ Bumblebee
Knight has basically rebooted the franchise and proves what we knew all along: Bay had to go!
Brooks Bird
PG-13
★★★★★ Aquaman
Momoa finally gets thrust into the spotlight and fares far better on his own than as just another Justice League cohort.
