Fly Me to the Moon
Fly Me to the Moon does a good job balancing the humor with the romance and the serious story of the Apollo 11 rocket launch moments.
Twister
Director Jan de Bont (Speed) infuses Twister with tension and humor and balances it all with strong effects and a human interest story laid underneath.
MaXXXine
MaXXXine stands out as West's distinct creation, showcasing his unique style choices across all three films.
Taxi Driver: Limited Edition Steelbook
Anchored by De Niro's chilling performance, it is easy to see why it ranks in the top 100 films of all time.
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F
If you love Axel Foley, Eddie Murphy, Beverly Hills Cop, and its soundtrack, you will enjoy this latest installment.
Kinds of Kindness
Lanthimos can be hit or miss; when he's on, we get gems like The Favourite and Poor Things, but his more bizarre creations can lose the audience's interest.
A Quiet Place: Day One
As the third movie in a franchise, it brings something new, but how often can we watch the deafening silence before it gets old?
Purple Rain
Prince was always a showman and Purple Rain brought that side of him to a whole new level.
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
Parker and Stone have made a career out of being decent animators, decent writers, and equal-opportunity offenders.
