Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny
Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny is a solid send-off for Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford, but while older audiences will probably enjoy the film, it may not resonate with younger viewers.
Asteroid City
Anderson infuses his stories with numerous details that intersect somehow, even when you aren't exactly sure how.
No Hard Feelings
No Hard Feelings is exactly what you would expect it to be with something a little bit “extra” thrown in and some extremely funny moments.
The Blackening
There are so many things that are done right in this film that make it a solid entry in the comedy/horror genre.
Elemental
Great messages, some adventure, some humor and a bit of romance abound throughout the script, making Elemental one of Pixar's best movies to date.
The Flash
You know the movie has some issues when the audience is more excited to see the supporting cast and cameo appearances as opposed to watching the lead.
Kandahar
In case we should ever forget, Kandahar is here to remind us of how dangerous that part of the world can be.
About My Father
For 20+ years, Maniscalco's stand-up has honored his father. This film feels like a fitting next step, bringing these cherished anecdotes to life visually.
The Little Mermaid
Marshall, known for big, theatrical numbers, brings that same enthusiasm to this project.
