Dark Waters (2019)

Dark Waters (2019)

[5] Mark Ruffalo must really have it out for the DuPont company. First he co-starred in 2014's Foxcatcher, an examination of the scandal behind John du Pont's hosting of Olympic wrestlers that ended in tragedy. And now he plays lawyer…
Crawl (2019)

Crawl (2019)

[7] Director Alexandre Aja (High Tension) serves up a father/daughter survival thriller that takes place primarily in a basement full of alligators during a hurricane. Sound preposterous? Well, that's part of the charm. But Aja and screenwriters Michael and Shawn…

21 Bridges (2019)

[5] The late Chadwick Boseman stars in this mediocre actioner about a New York City detective trying to stop two cop killers from leaving Manhattan by closing all the island's bridges and tunnels. But along the way, Boseman's eyes are…
Color Out of Space (2019)

Color Out of Space (2019)

Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)

Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)

[6] There's a certain kind of movie that is really hard to review. This is one of those movies. It's a studio movie, formulaic in structure and unremarkable in substance, but entertaining in laughs and thrills and a great vehicle…

Little Women (2019)

Little Women (2019)

[8] If someone is going to pick up Louisa May Alcott's much-loved literary classic, dust it off, and serve up a retelling, let it be the Oscar-nominated writer/director of Lady Bird. Greta Gerwig is respectably faithful to the material, but…
Knives Out (2019)

Knives Out (2019)

[8] I think one of the hardest stories to tell is a good murder mystery story. That's why we see so few of them turned into movies. Rian Johnson's (The Last Jedi, Looper) Knives Out is a beguiling blend of…
Ford v Ferrari (2019)

Ford v Ferrari (2019)

[8] I am not a fan of car racing. I couldn't care less about it, really. But like so many other great sports movies, Ford v Ferrari isn't really about the sport itself. It's about the people engaged in the…
