Gerard Butler is back in action mode for his new thriller, KANDAHAR. As expected, Butler delivers on the entertainment, even if it repeats his greatest hits.

Add a commentDisney’s live-action reimagining of THE LITTLE MERMAID is a beautiful rendition of the classic musical with Halle Bailey meeting all expectations as Ariel. The characters are much more fleshed-out, and director Rob Marshall takes some liberties with the storyline fitting for a modern iteration. There are some minor inconsistencies that detract a bit, but overall it’s a solid remake.

The tenth installment of the FAST & FURIOUS franchise is more of the same gravity-defying stunts and laughable dialogue but Jason Momoa fuels the action with humor. The script is also filled with fun moments that poke fun at the "familia" and the ridiculous car stunts.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 brings closure to our favorite space friends, but Rocket's backstory delves into twisted territory with animal cruelty taken to the extreme. The third film in the James Gunn trilogy may not be suitable for all kids or those easily triggered by the suffering of animals.
Add a commentMelissa Barrera and recent Academy Awards actor nominee Paul Mescal (Normal People, AFTERSUN) star in a modern and mesmerizing iteration of the classic novella, CARMEN directed by Benjamin Millepied. The movie is a love letter to dancing relayed in a sensual manner.
Add a commentThe question you'll be asking yourself throughout SNAG is, 'Who the heck is this guy?' The director/star Ben Milliken makes it a running gag in the movie that stars a majority of Latino actors like Jaime Camil, Ana Ortiz, Mexican actress Sofia Castro and one white guy.
Add a commentRENFIELD is not just another vampire movie. The horror-comedy takes what we know about the genre and twists the familiar tropes for laughs, led by the perfect casting of Nicolas Cage as Count Dracula and Nicholas Hoult as his overworked servant Renfield.
Add a commentPulling double duty as director and supporting actor in AIR, Ben Affleck has managed to make a riveting movie out of a mundane story. Everyone knows how this story ends, but the cast and Affleck deliver a pulse-pounding drama with a lot of heart and gusto. AIR would make a great double feature with another sports-related film, JERRY MAGUIRE.
Add a commentAnyone with zero knowledge of the fantasy role-playing game (RPG) will enjoy the fun adventure in DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES starring scene-stealer Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Hugh Grant, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, and Sophia Lillis. On the other hand, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game fans seem to enjoy the big-screen adaptation which is filled with Easter eggs and nods to the original source material.
Add a commentShould you take a trip to the movie theater or stay home and stream a new movie? The SHAZAM! sequel hits movie theaters while Keira Knightley and Carrie Coons' true-crime thriller BOSTON STRANGLER premieres on Hulu.
Add a commentJOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 is more of the same but funnier thanks to scene-stealer Donnie Yen. The action is relentless from start to finish, and this time around the filmmakers are self-aware of the over-the-top action.
Add a commentSCREAM VI is the movie we should've seen in the previous installment from directors, Tyler, Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin (READY OR NOT).

Most faith-based films center around the relationship of an individual to God or around a miracle, but JESUS REVOLUTION reminds us of what’s most important.
Add a commentMichael B. Jordan’s directorial debut in CREED III is a solid premiere for the actor-turned-filmmaker. The beats are on point and the ROCKY spin-off is structurally a tight movie.

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA is the busiest movie of this Marvel trilogy with tons of distracting CGI environments. The sequel is one part STAR WARS and the other part GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY due to the heavy CGI work. Thankfully Paul Rudd carries the movie as the heart of the story but Michelle Pfeiffer and Jonathan Majors steal the show.
Add a commentChanning Tatum's sexy dance skills are the main attraction in Steven Soderbergh’s MAGIC MIKE movies, and MAGIC MIKE’S LAST DANCE is no exception. While the storyline teases a big finale, the climax just never came. However, his on-screen chemistry with Salma Hayek is off the charts.
Add a commentAntonio Banderas returns as Puss, the Leche-loving swashbuckler along with Salma Hayek’s Kitty Softpaws in a sequel that far surpasses the original in every way.

It’s no surprise James Cameron delivers a visually stunning film in AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER. As indicated in the title, most of the action takes place in Pandora’s oceans with Jake and Neytiri’s offspring taking center stage in the second outing.
Add a commentVIOLENT NIGHT is a bloody good time enjoyed most in a collective space. David Harbour is a killing machine as the very endearing and not-so-jolly Kris Kringle. It’s a must-watch for a silly and gory escape.
