Movie Review

'The Hitman's Bodyguard' was a fun action-comedy. Unfortunately, the sequel abandons anything that worked about the original and just lets Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson and Salma Hayek indulge their worst impulses.

'In the Heights' is a rousing musical with songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda and dances directed by Jon M. Chu. It's about important things that everyone can relate to and it's just a good time.

'The Rock' came out June 7, 1996 and made Nicolas Cage a bona fide action hero. He would follow with 'Con Air' and 'Face/Off' a year later, but 'The Rock' showed how his unique craft could work in blockbuster action movies.

'Spirit Untamed' retells the story of 'Spirit Riding Free' but this movie is deeper and more sophisticated than the Netflix series was.

'The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It' is based on a real trial in which Ed and Lorraine Warren argued a murder suspect was possessed. 'The Conjuring 3' begs a few questions but takes an interesting horror movie approach to the real case.

Cruella de Vil is the villain of '101 Dalmations,' but in 'Cruella,' she is the antihero. As Emma Stone plays her, this is an empowering fashion comedy.

'F9' will be satisfying to fans who have kept 'The Fast and the Furious' going up to nine movies. There won't be a faster, more furious movie this year but it's not the fastest, most furious ever.

'A Quiet Place Part II' maintains all the tension from the original film but adds all new elements to create anxiety and terror.

From the writer of 'You're Next,' 'The Guest' and 'Blair Witch,' 'Seance' is another horror genre hybrid. This time a group of high school mean girls get in over their heads with even meaner forces.

'Spiral: From the Book of Saw' takes the 'Saw' franchise in a new direction while remaining faithful to the original franchise. It's sort of like 'Cobra Kai' in that way.

The first two Guy Ritchie movies were the first two Jason Statham movies. After both had long, fruitful careers, they reunite for the solid 'Wrath of Man.'

'Tom Clancy's Without Remorse' is an exciting Michael B. Jordan action movie. It's a tad predictable and paints itself into a corner by the end, but well composed action keeps it thrilling most of the time.

Milla Jovovich is the only English-speaking star in "The Rookies" and she trains a crew of Kong Kong stars in the ways of explosive action.

Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker try to solve the murder of The Notorious B.I.G. in director Brad Furman's new crime thriller, 'City of Lies.'

'Godzilla vs. Kong' goes out on top if it ends up being the last in Warner Bros.' Monsterverse. It's a lot more fun than the previous three with fewer of the issues, although it's not issue-free.

'Better Call Saul' star Bob Odenkirk becomes a surprising action hero in 'Nobody' from the writer of the 'John Wick' movies.

'Zack Snyder's Justice League' is far superior to the 2017 theatrical cut. Here are some of the areas in which The Snyder Cut improves 'Justice League.'

'The Father' stars Oscar winners Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman as father and daughter. Fans should seek it out as soon as possible.

Eddie Murphy returns to Zamunda in the long-awaited 'Coming to America' sequel, but aside from familiar jokes, 'Coming 2 America' is too busy to be funny.

Tom Holland and Ciara Bravo star in 'Cherry,' a powerful and heartfelt story that could be even more powerful if it got to its point quicker.
