Wicked
Wicked, Part I is set to become a major box office hit, generating impressive revenue and drawing in audiences globally.
Red One
I can see families watching movies like A Christmas Story, Elf, and Red One together on Christmas Day, creating a new holiday tradition.
Heretic
Scott and Woods excel at creating compelling characters trapped in intense, high-stakes situations that keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
Here
Here makes one think about their lives, the choices they make, the relationships they form and the mundane and trivial details of everyday life.
We Live In Time
Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield deliver raw, unforgettable performances in We Live In Time, a heartfelt journey through love, loss, and resilience.
Sideways
Giamatti, although overlooked by the Academy, serves as the emotional anchor of the film, holding its narrative together with his compelling performance.
Smile 2
Smile 2 has a few less-than-stellar moments but continues the tradition set in the first film and based on the ending, a third film is most probably going to happen.
Piece by Piece
Using Legos to illustrate Williams's artistry makes this documentary groundbreaking, relatable on a variety of levels, and easy to watch regardless of one's age.
The Wild Robot
Nyong'o has a lilt and a cadence to her voice that makes Roz sound as sweet and caring as she sounds metallic.
