The new-to-Netflix action flick may be built from recycled parts, but Mary Elizabeth Winstead gives it the lift it needs.

Marvel’s latest is refreshingly light and fast-paced, and (mostly) free of the copious lore that has weighed down much of the franchise.

The over-the-top comedy (new on Hulu) offers up a handful of laughs and some missed opportunities.

The gun-blazing action vehicle has all the depth of a throwaway programmer, but little of the pleasure.

Surprisingly enough, ‘Free Guy’ is a witty, thoughtful, and engaging piece of pop entertainment.

The debut feature from director Pascual Sisto is impressively crafted, if a bit too heavy-handed with its influences.

Edson Oda’s Sundance drama is ambitious but messy, with a solid premise and winning performances often undermined by flimsy writing.

In his latest thriller, M. Night Shyamalan again proves himself a director who makes ~choices~.

The third and final ‘Fear Street’ film is, sadly, more of the same – a few good ideas, some enjoyable performances, but little in the way of follow-through.

The new Nicolas Cage vehicle ‘Pig’ is being sold as an action-heavy ‘John Wick’ riff. It is not that movie AT ALL.

Marvel is back in the theaters – with a low-energy, checkbox-ticking entry, noteworthy only for the happy addition of a welcome supporting player.

Netflix’s second “Fear Street” film is a stronger effort than the first – and more steeped in the style (and gore) of its era.
