Licorice Pizza
The best part of Licorice Pizza is the cast. Both leads are making their feature film debuts but you would never know it from their performances.

Firestarter
While Efron and Lemmon are decent in their roles, the highlight, as it should be, is Armstrong.

Top Gun: Maverick
Much like Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible movies, Cruise embodies the character of Maverick with all his bravado, insecurities and skeletons.

Blacklight
The best way to sum up this movie is that I still have no idea why the title is Blacklight.

Uncharted
Uncharted borrows heavily from the different versions of the video game...which is to be expected.

Cyrano
With a well written screenplay and some beautifully shot scenes, Cyrano is a wonderful adaptation of the classic tale.

The Bad Guys
Based on the book series of the same name, The Bad Guys has a great deal to offer but also often falls back on predictable tropes.

The Northman
Eggers has solidified his legacy as a wonderful director and there are no doubts, he will be making movies, possibly even Oscar worthy ones, for many years to come.
