Primetime
it is about a moment in our culture that brought on the explosion of true crime documentaries and podcasts of the last several years. This is a tense and moody portrayal, with Robert Pattinson giving a tremendous brooding performance as a self-absorbed man who doesn’t give a thought to who he could possibly be hurting, as long as he stays famous.

Zach Cregger has vowed not to get involved with existing franchises again. However, if Resident Evil is his only attempt at it, it is a really good one.

Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom
This is mostly a breezy, silly, family-friendly comedy that will probably be more successful at home than it will be in multiplexes filled with much louder movies.

Hope
Every phase of this is given ample room to develop, becoming bigger and wilder as it goes.

The Uprising
Paul Greengrass clearly wanted to end his sad story on a hopeful note. However, he swung too hard and the result is far more groan-inducing than it should be.

Onslaught
There is a lean, mean, violent action movie buried in here somewhere, that is like a cross between Aliens and Universal Soldier. However, there is too much fat on the bone for it to be let loose.

Buddy
It is a wild, midnight movie kind of experience, meant to be seen with a raucous crowd in the mood for something weird.

Idiots
Idiots is only about ¾ as nasty and stupid as it needed to be to be consistently funny.

The Dog Stars
The performances are fine, but it has nothing new to add to the genre or its themes. It is boring, circling the same ideas repeatedly.

Coyote vs. ACME
It is funny, uses the classic characters well and contains lots of silly in-jokes for fans.
