The Woman King
Prince-Bythewood offers audiences some interesting visuals and manages to make the fight scenes bloody and savage while not overselling the violence.
Clerks III
Clerks III brings Smith’s trilogy full circle, even though he has written, produced, and directed other movies in between.
Pinocchio
Several scenes stand out including when Pinocchio and Geppetto are trapped inside the whale, and when Pinocchio is in Pleasure Island.
Samaritan
Let’s face it, the world doesn’t need another superhero movie and it definitely doesn’t need this one.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
I’m not sure this series would have worked with a different actress in the lead role, as Maslany offers just the right combination of smarts and sassiness to make Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk fierce yet likable.
Day Shift
The cast is great and the stunts are incredible but the script isn’t very funny so even a veteran, comedic actor like Foxx has nothing to sink his teeth into (pun intended).
