The Wild Robot
Nyong'o has a lilt and a cadence to her voice that makes Roz sound as sweet and caring as she sounds metallic.
Apartment 7A
Director/co-writer Natalie Erika James makes Apartment 7A her own while paying homage to Roman Polanski's half-century-old film, Rosemary's Baby.
The Substance
The Substance's Moore and Qualley are excellent as essentially two halves of a whole and command the screen each second they are on it.
Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story
While many thought of him as a superhero, in the end, he was just a man with the power of hope and resilience on his side.
Transformers One
While Transformers One does feel like a very well-animated Saturday morning cartoon, the plot is well thought out and the writing is smart and funny.
The Killer's Game
Is The Killer's Game fun? Yes. Is it cute? Yes. Is it a movie we NEED? Not by a long shot.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Despite a stellar cast led by Michael Keaton and Wynona Ryder, the sequel falls flat, failing to recapture the charm and originality of the 1988 classic.
