Rambo: Last Blood
Stallone once again plays Rambo as stoic and introverted but also still physically and mentally sharp.
Bombshell
Charlize Theron gives one of the best performances of her life becoming Megan Kelly in every way possible.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker offers some interesting twists and the plot really focuses on the struggles of Rey and Ben.
Ad Astra
Ad Astra is one of Pitt’s best performances to date as he compartmentalizes Roy’s feelings in order to play the part of the dutiful, calm, clear-headed soldier.
Jumanji: The Next Level
The whole team returns for the sequel and their chemistry is even better than the first time. Johnson does a great De Vito impression and he and Hart makes a great duo.
Hustlers
Lopez is the real gem, stealing every moment she is on screen. She is powerful and demands attention whether she is speaking or dancing.
Ready or Not
Ready or Not combines humor and murder to create a deliciously wonderful film and brought a surprise hit with critical acclaim to movie theaters this summer.
The Aeronauts
Redmayne and Jones are individually strong in their performances, but together they are unstoppable.
Where'd You Go, Bernadette
Blanchette brings Bernadette to life with a quirky, snarky ambivalence that adds texture to the character.
