8/10 - a fresh entry into the fun franchise is made even more delightful by the hilarious Zoey Deutch, Avan Jogia, and Rosario Dawson

8/10 - honest and entertaining buddy dramedy is worth a watch or two
8/10 - fun heist with some stellar stars - enjoyed setting and pace of this summer blockbuster
10/10 - the third installment is a cinematic tour de force that does not let up in its wondrous adaptation of the even-better series of novels
6/10 - quirky and delightfully predictable, this indie rom-com could have used a bit more comedy
4/10 - a strong start quickly derails to a boring and tedious adventure that should have stayed on the small screen
6/10 - pretty good and super twisty for a HMM feature

TV-PG | 85 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
7/10 - such a refreshingly different Hallmark movie and a genuinely intriguing mystery
8/10 - a small indie gay film that leaves quite the impression
3/10 - dull and slow space adventure has cool, futuristic plot points that never truly lift off
6/10 - fun and predictable plot makes for a good, mindless hour and a half
6/10 - stunning cinematography elevates a rather ordinary war story
TV-PG | 83 min | Crime, Drama, Mystery
6/10 - an intriguing plot isn’t as fleshed out as I would’ve liked, but it fits the bill for a HMM fix
6/10 - interesting, but forgettable, story of police corruption is a good, tense thriller to pass some time
8/10 - incisive look into the final days of the talented Judy Garland gives Renée Zellweger the opportunity to show off her acting chops
10/10 - undoubtedly original and captivating...this is why we go to the cinema
7/10 - classic chick flick is a fun romp even after all these years
5/10 - despite disagreeing with just about everything that the Catholic Church stands for, I found this film to be quite intriguing although not my top choice for Oscar gold
6/10 - maybe there was just too much hype for it or I just didn’t feel a connection to any of the characters, but this one failed to hold my undivided attention for its lengthy duration
6/10 - while I am a sucker for a true story, this one lacked some of the passion necessary for a film dedicated to the life of the heroic Harriet Tubman
10/10 - stunning twist on the traditional WWII flick with beautiful scenery, story, and characters
3/10 - I know my opinion on this one makes kind of an outsider, but I was throughly unimpressed with the bland story, subpar visual effects, and unbearable runtime of this critical darling
9/10 - brilliant film that explores an under-recognized condition through wonderful storytelling and brilliant acting
8/10 - surprisingly good Netflix original based on the best-selling YA novel (maybe Netflix can actually make a decent teen movie?) - not to mention that I credit it for popularizing the career of Lauv
8/10 - solid sequel kept it cheesy and kept up the incredible music that I have grown to expect from this series, but where on Earth was Josh (Israel Broussard)?
8/10 - finally a good Netflix Original film - all of the cast was charming and a fun predictable rom-com
6/10 - despite overwhelmingly negative reviews, I was thoroughly entertained by the this off-the-walls BSC thriller even though I could have easily reduced a substantial amount of the runtime (unnecessary and dragged out storylines)
6/10 - a bit of a let down to my ridiculously high expectations, but the end result is fun, if uneven, with a stunning turn from the incomparable Margot Robbie and her crew of fierce female costars
TV-PG | 120 min | Crime, Mystery, Romance
6/10 - clever mystery is a nice follow up in the HMM series
6/10 - just what you expect from a rom-com TV movie - cheesy, cute storylines with some iffy acting (I mean Karamo needs to never “act”again) - but I really didn’t care for the time skips throughout the movie
7/10 - while wonderfully faithful to the ultra-famous source material and brilliantly acted, we could have done with a substantially shorter runtime
6/10 - while it was not perfect, this film was so wonderfully important and impactful, and kept it light and funny

6/10 - good and intriguing thriller that took a dark, disturbing, and unnecessary twist at the end
10/10 - this captivating drama is a master class in suspense, production design, acting, and storytelling as a whole
TV-PG | 85 min | Crime, Mystery, Drama
6/10 - run-of-the-mill HMM makes for a decent night-in

7/10 - a little morally wrong, but overall, a sweet love story that gave me straight Love, Simon vibes
10/10 - such an important and groundbreaking film, not to mention hilarious - go watch it...like right now!

7/10 - very interesting true story that deserves more attention transfers pretty well to the film format
6/10 - this Hallmark feature seems to suffer from a bit of a sophomore slump, but is still decent

10/10 - second time this year (see #42 for full review)
7/10 - incredible visuals and cinematography meet a captivating plot in this overall well-done sci-fi action flick that deserved a better star than Vin Diesel (why are people convinced he is a good actor?)

10/10 - one of my all-time favorites is jam-packed with mystery, intrigue, and a whole lot of humor

6/10 - fine Bollywood flick has characters that were occasionally grating, but was mostly entertaining
10/10 - second time this year (see #49 for full review)
6/10 - this one is pretty par-for-the-course; nothing bad, but nothing extraordinary
9/10 - a great directorial debut from Josh Boone has a lot to love, but most of all the heartfelt characters
10/10 - a textbook example for action comedies...non-stop laugh-out-loud moments sprinkled across a spy thriller background
9/10 - surprisingly excellent modern-day Groundhog Day with a horror/thriller twist
6/10 - I found the premise of this flick very fascinating, but the first hour of this movie felt very repetitive and I’m not sure there was nearly enough material for its already short runtime
5/10 - it had a good first two-thirds, but went off the rails with an ending that felt stupid and inconsistent with the original
8/10 - funny and wildly entertaining Oscar Wilde play turns into a great film adaptation
8/10 - cool revenge tale runs a little long, but keeps it fun
3/10 - unfunny slapstick has an okay mystery and a whole lot of wasted potential
8/10 - real and interesting, this one includes some fabulous acting and mostly thoughtful storytelling (but why was there SO much smoking?)
6/10 - okay mystery set at a book festival’s best moment is its tap back to Knives Out
6/10 - Guy Ritchie’s latest action flick has some big names, but was a little too harsh and intense for my tastes
7/10 - classic Agatha Christie mystery is done well with Peter Ustinov as the incomparable Poirot
10/10 - absolutely hysterical and one of my favorite movies of all time
7/10 - it’s not the funniest movie you’ve seen, it’s not the smartest movie you’ve seen, it’s not even the most entertaining movie you’ve seen, but, man is it fun!
9/10 - smart, entertaining, and often funny, this is this best movie about the Commander-in-Chief
4/10 - hard to love and not very enjoyable, this one didn’t do anything for me
5/10 - many jokes failed to land in this Netflix comedy with an irritating male lead (David Spade) and an often-obnoxious female lead (Lauren Lapkus)
8/10 - enjoyable, light-hearted comedy is a whole lot of fun
6/10 - a love letter to the 80s feels a little more like a compilation of amazing music videos with a loose thread of a plot tying them together (but why on earth would they cast Logan Paul as the hot, popular guy even before his controversies?)
6/10 - an intriguing premise is hindered by a style (lots of strange editing and breakage of the fourth wall) that I didn’t particularly care for
9/10 - I’m not usually one for sports movies, but man is this one a treat
TV-G | 84 min | Crime, Mystery

10/10 - apart from the weird animated scene, this one was absolutely hysterical and truly delightful
5/10 - this one was overwhelmingly dull and jus wasn’t my cup of tea
2/10 - this is that movie that everyone pretends to like to seem cultured and sophisticated, but is actually a total dud - it is devoid of any true meaningful plot, pacing, likable characters, or halfway decent writing
6/10 - mostly funny, incredibly gruesome action flick proves that beloved franchises can be successfully revived
4/10 - with a little more of a storyline than the original musical, this film adaptation gives a pretty awful musical a minor face lift
5/10 - slow and boring tale of Black love had so much wasted potential
7/10 - thoughtful, although extremely loose, politicized adaptation of “The Most Dangerous Game,” is worth a watch
5/10 - boring and unfulfilling horror flick’s acting performances are its only saving grace
8/10 - fresh predictable family-friendly fun with a great performance from Sofia Carson
10/10 - second time this year (see #23 for full review)
6/10 - a promising story that starts strong, falls off a little in the middle, and sort-of works out in the end
