“A Quiet Place,” directed by John Krasinski of “The Office” fame, is a haunting, terrifying, thrilling masterpiece that will leave you craving more. 

All components combined, “Paddington 2” is just shy of magical. Throughout the entire movie, smiles were brought to faces and this viewer was fixed on the beloved protagonist. 

From the classic characterization of Superman, to the CG throughout the film, to the ever-present attempt at witty, early 2000s quips, “Justice League” feel dated despite everything.

When you hear about a movie starring a young woman who refuses to go by her given name and instead insists on being called “Lady Bird,” you’re going to think it’s a weird film, but it’s not. 

“Murder on the Orient Express” felt jumbled from start to finish, with the film only being carried along by the mystery of who was responsible for the crime.

Even with its faults and flaws, the cinematography and one-liner humor benefits the entire film, carrying it to a whole new level of superhero movies presented in recent years.   

“Jigsaw” didn’t bring a whole lot of new things to the “Saw,” franchise, but it brought a lot of fun to a series that I thought was dead.

“Wheelman,” released on Oct. 20 as a Netflix exclusive movie, is exactly what you’d expect it to be. But, despite that predictability, what it does well, it does very well. 

“Battle of the Sexes” is a movie I’ve had on my calendar ever since the trailer first dropped in May of this year.

If you’re tired of ham-fisted attempts at creating meaningful allegorical representations of the bible, check out these equally as affecting, much better surreal/abstract films from people other than Darren Aronofsky.
