The movie does not do Philip Marlowe a disservice but neither does it successfully re-invent the character for a new era and its attendant audience.

Run Time: 2:10
U.S. Home Release Date: 2023-04-18
MPAA Rating: "R" (Sexual Content, Nudity)
Genre: Drama
Director: Frances O’Connor
Cast: Emma Mackey, Fionn Whitehead, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Alexandra Dowling, Amelia Gething, Adrian Dunbar, Gemma Jones

Although there’s nothing especially wrong with "Emily," little in the movie causes it to stand apart from other, similar productions.

Run Time: 2:03
U.S. Home Release Date: 2023-03-28
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity, Mental Health Issues)
Genre: Drama
Director: Florian Zeller
Cast: Hugh Jackman, Laura Dern, Zen McGrath, Vanessa Kirby, Anthony Hopkins, Hugh Quarshie

When one contemplates the amount of Oscar talent associated with The Son, the result can’t be considered anything less than a disappointment.

Run Time: 1:36
U.S. Home Release Date: 2023-03-17
MPAA Rating: "NR" (Profanity, Violence)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Paul Roland
Cast: Paul Roland, Joseph Griffin, Brittany Lewis, Francis Cronin, Jennifer Massey, Kenan Jerome Floyd, Nelson Ritthaler

Plays like part neo-noir thriller and part morality play, with director Roland making the most of his micro budget to give the movie a distinctive look.

Without offering more than dialogue, "Women Talking" has difficulty sustaining itself for 104 minutes.

Run Time: 1:59
U.S. Home Release Date: 2023-02-21
MPAA Rating: "R" (Racial Violence, Mental Illness, Profanity, Sexual Content)
Genre: Drama
Director: Sam Mendes
Cast: Olivia Colman, Micheal Ward, Colin Firth, Toby Jones

Offers an appetizer of nostalgia for those who remember theaters during the early 1980s but the main course is not the easiest to digest, despite several strong performances.

"Violent Night," the latest contribution to the Santa Claus legend, is better than it has a right to be but not as good as it could have been.

Run Time: 1:55
U.S. Home Release Date: 2023-01-03
MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Violence)
Genre: Drama
Director: James Gray
Cast: Banks Repeta, Anne Hathaway, Jeremy Strong, Anthony Hopkins, Ryan Sell, Jaylin Webb

Some of the individual moments are impactful or effective at evoking nostalgia. But, as they say, the whole is less than the sum of the parts.

Run Time: 1:44
U.S. Home Release Date: 2022-12-13
MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity)
Genre: Romance/Comedy
Director: Ol Parker
Cast: George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Kaitlyn Dever, Maxime Bouttier, Billie Lourd, Lucas Bravo

Although this features high wattage stars, it represents a curiously anachronistic attempt at escapist fare.
