You Hurt My Feelings” may be the funniest, smartest film of the year so far, and Holofcener’s terrific script paired with her patient direction helps solidify this kind of high praise.

The Little Mermaid” does little warrant its purpose or necessity, bogged down by its abysmal underwater CGI and inescapable desperation to be newly relevant
“The Covenant” is an effective albeit formulaic war action film that delivers the thrills and action, with a story that feels meaningful and compelling and overall thrilling ride you’ll find hard to turn off once it starts.
“Fast X” takes a step back to go forward, drawing from the insanity and over the top energy of Jason Momoa to deliver a fun, bombastic, ridiculously silly but enjoyable one last ride
“The Pope’s Exorcist” knows what it is, what it wants to be, and who it has at the forefront of their product. This combination allows the film to be more fun than it should be despite having really nothing to offer.
“Beau is Afraid” is a surrealist episodic journey through vibrant nightmarish hellscapes, a film that purposefully distorts its POV to manifest the sense of dread and anxiety beyond their thematic framework and into the literalization of its own bizarre odyssey.
“Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” is essentially every fantasy adventure movie all rolled into one with a “Guardians of the Galaxy” skin, relying heavily on the charm of its cast to roll a natural 20.
The running joke throughout “Fury of the Gods” is that Billy Batson/Shazam lacks the Wisdom of Solomon. Apparently so does this sequel.
“Missing” is a solid anthology follow up that keeps you on the edge of your seat and utilizes all of its technology tools to deliver a thrilling, engaging new generation mystery.
“Plane” is the Spirit Airlines of mid-level action thrillers, selling you budget thrills but overcharging you for everything once you’ve bought your ticket.
