The Croods: A New Age (2020)

3/4
Hillbilly Elegy (2020)
Here's a rare example of a Netflix prestige film that neither runs too long nor overstays its welcome.

The Last Vermeer (2020)
An entertaining if uneven mixture of post-World War II fact and fiction.

Belushi (2020)
Although mysteries remain, the film uncovers enough to re-enforce the maxim that fame and stardom can exacerbate rather than cure some ills of the soul.

The Nest (2020)
This is either a tragedy or horror movie, depending on your point of view. Maybe, in truth, it's both.

2.5/4
Freaky (2020)
Blumhouse has an uncanny ability to identify projects that sound compelling on paper but are less attractive when watched on-screen. Freaky is the latest of these.

1.5/4
Fatman (2020)
The Nelms had some ideas - a few good, a few bad - about making a different sort of Christmas movie but, when it came time to forge them into a movie, they stumbled badly.

Let Him Go (2020)

2/4
Come Play (2020)
It feels like a Blumhouse throw-away, complete with the low-profile cast and last-act narrative twist.

Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm (2020)
Like it or hate it, the second Borat film, like the first one, offers the captivating quality of a train wreck or fatal car crash - even when you're horrified, you can't look away.

The Witches (2020)
Like far too many unnecessary remakes, The Witches doesn't do enough to justify its existence.

2.5/4
Rebecca (2020)
As remakes go, Rebecca is a serviceable take on a story that most viewers with a solid background in English literature will be familiar with.

1.5/4
Honest Thief (2020)
A tedious, overlong embarrassment that not even Liam Neeson's craggy countenance can save.

The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020)

3/4
Enola Holmes (2020)
I'd like to see a follow-up - only this time, get a real mystery writer involved at the screenplay stage.

Nocturne (2020)

1/4
The War with Grandpa (2020)
Robert De Niro has made his share of nearly-unwatchable comedies so, although it's tempting to say The War with Grandpa is the worst, I can't say that definitively.

The Forty-Year-Old Version (2020)
The Forty-Year-Old Version provides a megaphone for a new voice in cinema.

A Rainy Day in New York (2020)
There are some nice supporting performances - Liev Schreiber, Jude Law, Selena Gomez, and Cherry Jones - but the two leads are so bad that it hardly matters.

1.5/4
The Lie (2020)
This is the kind of movie that Mystery Science Theater 3K would have had a field day with.

Herb Alpert is... (2020)
This movie will likely go down as the definitive documentary about Alpert and, as such, it's not a bad way to be remembered.

Possessor: Uncut (2020)
A shocking and disturbing gem that doesn't betray itself by softening things during the final act.

3/4
The Devil All the Time (2020)
Engrossing but conventional - a well-told story whose evocative setting and vivid performances combine to produce a grim and lurid tableau.

3/4
Kajillionaire (2020)
As gloomy as all of this may sound, July invests it with a lively energy that avoids a spiral into darkness and depression, no matter how bad things get.

Lost Girls & Love Hotels (2020)

3/4
Antebellum (2020)
The movie never loses sight of its twin objectives: maintain suspense and emphasize a message about the enduring, pernicious power of racism.

2.5/4
The Broken Hearts Gallery (2020)
Through it all, though, Viswanathan's live wire presence keeps the movie from overstaying its welcome even when it veers into sitcom territory.

Get Duked! (2020)
Doff announces himself as a talent to be reckoned with. His feature debut seems destined for admission into the cult classic hall of fame.

Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020)

3.5/4
Tenet (2020)
It's among the director's most ambitious efforts and is a match for his most narratively complicated screenplays.

The Personal History of David Copperfield can be deliciously, viciously devious in its pursuit of laughter.

Tesla (2020)

Chemical Hearts (2020)
The result, although neither groundbreaking nor extraordinary within the genre, is sufficiently compelling to make this worthwhile for those with interest.

2.5/4
Project Power (2020)
This movie is passable popcorn entertainment - a two-hour distraction... that won't stand the test of time but was never intended to.

An American Pickle (2020)
Like a bottled Vlassic Dill, this movie offers only an imitation flavor of something more genuine and robust.

The Witches (1990)
The Witches feels like a throwaway feature rather than a fully-realized fantasy adventure...

The Burnt Orange Heresy (2020)
There are enough elements in The Burnt Orange Heresy to offer a fitfully entertaining 100 minutes.

She Dies Tomorrow (2020)
In the end... it's all a rather hollow experience (as is too often the case with existential horror).

TRON (1982)
Director Steven Lisberger treats his actors like props, which is understandable when one considers how technically oriented the project is.

Summerland (2020)
For what it is, Summerland is solidly made, but don't expect anything extraordinary from the production.

Radioactive (2020)
Just because a person's accomplishments are great, it doesn't follow that a movie about their life and achievements will be equally as compelling.

3/4
Greyhound (2020)
Hanks' script is an example of economical storytelling and the end result is a thrilling 75 minutes of the kinds of things one expects from well-made submarine movies.

3/4
The Old Guard (2020)
If sequels are made with the same equal mix of character-based narrative and kick-ass action, then The Old Guard could represent the next franchise to become excited about.

Marty (1955)
When speaking about Marty, Chayefsky called it "the most ordinary love story in the world." Therein lies its appeal.

The Beach House (2020)
Visiting The Beach House leads to a decidedly unremarkable experience.
