Amusing at times, but never aspires to be more than a paint-by-numbers rom com.
The action-packed 80s throwback gets a stellar Blu-ray release with a gorgeous video transfer and a ton of special features.
A spectacular failure on almost every level, particularly disappointing considering the talent involved.
A film that knows exactly what it is, and never aspires to be anything more. Turn off your brain, let yourself enjoy it.
Never strays too far from the source material, but still provides enough enjoyment for a modern-day audience.
An excellent film that boldly challenges the audience to look at bullying and school violence from a different perspective.
An engrossing character study, cleverly disguised as an adrenaline-soaked action film.
Hilariously vulgar, outrageously filthy, and unexpectedly heartwarming. An excellent directorial debut.
Not for everyone, but different enough from the usual trashy romance stuff to warrant a second look.
Caters to fans of the franchise while providing just enough to keep newcomers entertained.
The most emotionally resonant film of the year, full of joy and heartbreak and everything in between.
A beautiful, melancholy film that feels more like a work-in-progress than a complete story.
A solid mix of humor and terror, one of the most original and inspired horror films in a very long time.
The chemistry between the two leads elevates this otherwise decent film to one of the most pleasantly surprising and enjoyable flicks of the summer.
A melancholy tale which breathes new life into the character, but stumbles under the weight of bad choices during the final thirty minutes.
Variations of things we’ve seen in other scary movies, but brought together in a way that feels fresh and inspired.
A humorous, emotional, expertly crafted film that perfectly captures the feeling of being 14 years old.
An informative and well-made documentary that examines covert military operations and their effects.
A great throwback to 80s action flicks, with plenty of explosions, shootouts, and wisecracks.
Colorful, creative, and hilarious, it’s a worthy addition to the Pixar catalog and an enjoyable expansion of the universe.
It bears little resemblance to the source material, but still manages to be an entertaining zombie flick.
Probably the most ridiculous movie of the year, but also a front-runner for the funniest.
Refreshingly original and consistently hilarious, it’s the best coming-of-age film in more than a decade.
Boring, uninspired, and completely sub-par in every way. Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves.
Shockingly, relentlessly brutal and genuinely scary, this is quite possibly the best horror remake yet.
A dark, unsettling, creepy-as-hell thriller from a genre master.
Funny and enjoyable if you don’t mind knowing exactly how it will all play out.
An enjoyable new tale that invokes the same sense of wonder and mysticism as the original.
Despite a mediocre selection of extras, the audio and video quality are more than enough to justify adding this one to your collection.
The action and visuals are more than enough to keep young children entertained, but adults will likely struggle to remain interested in this one.
Plenty of gunfire, explosions, and one-liners, but the experience is diminished by a weak script and laughable CG during the climax.
A fun little film and a great-looking disc, slightly marred by the disappointing collection of supplements.
A pulpy melodrama that favors one-liners over character development, spectacle over substance. Enjoyable, but forgettable.
