‘Nosferatu’ may truly be Robert Eggers’ best film yet. He fired on all cylinders here and delivered a spirited modern rendition of a classic story that belongs in the same hallowed halls as the 1922 original from which it was wrought.

If you have the time, ‘Wicked’ is a totally worthy afternoon at the movies meant for family and friends. The World of Oz needed a refreshment, and perhaps this wizardly revisit is exactly what the wizard ordered.

We were massive fans of M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Trap’, Enough can’t be said not only about the director, but the film as a whole. Whether you call yourself a casual movie fan or a cinema diehard who’s seated as often as you can, Trap should be the next ticket you punch.

We need more movies like ‘Faces’. Not only on the small scale, but in theaters nationwide, working to reform a genre that has only been kept alive by content of the same caliber. Efficient, full of care, and running on fear, Faces is a good old fashioned horror thrill-ride.

Unless you’re just a full-on superfan of the lazy tabby himself, ‘The Garfield Movie’ is unlikely to work for anyone over the age of four. It’s weirdly slow, terribly mundane, and uninteresting the entire way through.

George Miller doesn’t quite return with a vengeance in ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ - rather, he brings a seasoned sense of detail and management. The Mad Max franchise has become well known for an exasperated brand of freneticism and unbridled energy rarely captured in blockbuster action cinema as it stands today, and ‘Furiosa’ remains consistent within that.

While the director has been responsible for some of the slickest action films of note, Guy Ritchie’s ‘The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare’ is tragically and painfully average, and all things considered, doesn’t present much to warrant anything after an obligatory first watch.

‘The First Omen’ is a traditional prequel in the way that it unfortunately fails to justify its own existence, falling into the busy chasm of efforts long lost, doomed to the same fate.

‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’, despite its hiccups, is a rare experience at the movies. There is something so irresistible about these beasts and the incredulity of their world that demands seeing it on the biggest screen possible.

Don’t go in expecting to be blown away, and ‘Damsel ‘ should do just fine. Just make sure you’ve got your plot-armor, and possibly a few glow worms for safe measure, too.

Perhaps just when we needed a film like this, enter Netflix’s Spaceman - a deceivingly simple drama that does more than drink and dribble. Questions of love, time and space, and redemption float aimlessly among the cinematic stars, away from a grounded Adam Sandler who may have just delivered his best performance yet.

‘Argylle’ desperately wants to be a crowd pleaser as it attempts to convince the masses of Matthew Vaughn’s brand of kinetic action and whiplash-style storytelling. Yet falls far behind all his previous work in all manners of deliverance, struggling to succeed on any of the same levels as the best of his work.

We’ve seen a few recognizable rom-com hits in the last few years, but the genre has undoubtedly taken a dive in both production and popularity since its heyday. Anyone But You, in spite of some worrying habits, turns the corner for the genre, and ends up checking all the boxes.

Illumination’s ‘Migration’ is a harmless, breezy bit of entertainment that cares more about its characters than it had to in order to succeed. Occasionally a bore, often dry, but give Migration a chance on a big screen.

‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snake’ feels like a natural continuation of the Hunger Games cinematic franchise in just about every way, and may even go down as one of the most effective and well-managed prequels of this ilk.

No matter where that scenario goes though, from a purely artistic standpoint, The Exorcist: Believer is a fine achievement. It understands the horror standard on which it’s based to a notable degree, offers more than a few memorable moments, and delivers on being more than basic blockbuster horror.

‘The Nun 2 ‘ may not suit everybody, but anyone willing to give it the time of day should find something to appreciate. It’s a thoroughly satisfying horror blockbuster that bends the genre’s common clichés, though it doesn’t break them.

Diehard DC fans should catch ‘Blue Beetle’ simply because it’s a DC heroes’ first feature introduction, and that’s always a big deal. But for the casual moviegoer and superhero cinema fan, this one is too mixed a bag to warrant buying a ticket.
