They Will Kill You
Its sense of humor is refreshingly goofy, yet it really only has a few jokes. It is an amusing concept that doesn’t have enough ideas to make it worth a look.

Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
Even with the derivative plot and missed opportunities, the Ready or Not universe contains enough cleverness to get through a second round.

Slanted
It ends up playing it pretty safe, giving its audience a production that acts like it is risky, but ultimately isn’t close to being as bold as either of its two most obvious inspirations.

Hoppers
There is something to be said for a charming story that can make the whole family laugh, even if Pixar used to stand for more than a decent diversion.

Pillion
It is not a traditional romance, yet there is love here, portrayed in a way we don’t often see on the big screen.

How to Make a Killing
Contrived and kind of amusing. It is likable enough, with some genuinely funny stretches.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die
Director Gore Verbinski and writer Matthew Robinson are not afraid to go to some strange and dark places, shifting tones and trusting their viewers to keep up. It is wild, exciting and tremendously enjoyable. I sincerely hope it finds a big audience.

No Other Choice
This is a complex production that does a lot of the right things, from a director who is always challenging himself and his audience. This is a very good movie.

Is This Thing On?
It is insightful, funny and gently moving as it explores a relationship after it has ended, yet possibly before it is permanently finished.
