One of the reasons "Toy Story 2" is the best in the series is because every character gets a chance to shine. I trust these movies will remain good (and keep funding better original films like "Hoppers"). I'm not expecting "Toy Story 2"-level greatness from them again.

Disclosure Day will remind you that Spielberg is an unparalleled visionary, just in case it somehow slipped your mind.

This is a film caught between big ideas and ambiguous horror, character study and visual showcase. It wants to be mysterious, but it also wants to lay out some lore for the Backrooms' biggest audience yet. And despite its bright spots, it ends up caught in the middle.

These movies have always had risk and ambition, at their best and at their worst, so something so bereft of that can't help but feel a bit disheartening, not to mention boring.

While I wasn't left completely cold by Remarkably Bright Creatures, I found its tried-and-tested clichés far more enjoyable than its wilder idiosyncrasies.

The question remains whether a "Mortal Kombat" movie could ever be expected to be better than this, considering the limitations of the source material. That this sequel translates the simple beat-em-up thrills of the video game into something narratively functional is about as triumphant as it could possibly get for this franchise.

We didn't need The Devil Wears Prada 2 ... and unfortunately, it shows. This might be a legacy sequel, but it feels like a bad knockoff; the "Channel" to the original's "Chanel."

Few artists worth making movies about have led lives that can fit neatly within the confines of a feature film's runtime, but Michael Jackson's in particular feels too Herculean a task to undertake, given the complexities and challenges of his history. Yet "Michael" is an exuberant and entertaining film that sends the viewer home happy, salivating for another installment to stretch the foregone conclusion of its own success. 

The Drama is a very well-crafted, never-boring dark comedy that is unfortunately completely broken at its core, handling a loaded premise in ways that are unbelievable at best and offensively tacky at worst.

I laughed at more jokes than I expected to in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
