★★ | Featuring great performances by its cast, Dead of Winter is two disparate films forced into an unconvincing whole.
★★★★★ | Fallout is witty, fun, gory, and entertaining. It's everything you'd want out of an adaptation of this material.
★ | Bloated beyond belief, the third Avatar is an exercise in tedious plotting, ugly stereotypes, and dull action.
★★★★ | As exciting, inventive, and wholly entertaining as the first season, Percy Jackson makes a welcome return for both old and new fans alike.
★★★ | Ambitious and unexpected, Alex Noyer's second feature doesn't always connect, but its thrills are a welcome addition to the folk horror genre.
★★ | As uneven and bloated as the first part, Wicked: For Good is twice as long as it needs to and far more boring than a musical of this caliber should be.
★★★ | Mostly fun and handsomely produced, The Running Man suffers from a lack of conviction that robs it of urgency and impact.
★ | Tediuous, tiresome, and unbearably smug. Now You See Me, Now You Don't is a failed magic trick in every conceivable way.
★★★★ | The best kind of horror film: Horrifying, gross, and uncomfortably funny.
★★★★ | Michael Shannon and Matthew MacFadyen impress in this very fictionalized story that skewers American exceptionalism.
★★★★★ | Superbly written and directed, Keep Quiet is a brilliant showcase for the incomparable Lou Diamond Phillips, who delivers one of the best performances of the year.
★★★★ | Chaotic and in deeply bad taste, Flush is a bleakly funny nightmare of absurd proportions.
