The Lost World - Jurassic Park
Santa Cruz Sentinel
Adam Sandel
Although it's "just a movie" and "all in good fun," there's something kind of not fun about a film that opens with a sweet little girl being eaten alive by a flock of pigeon sized dinosaurs. (Parent alert: The film's PG 13 rating is a joke.)

Skyscraper

It's an engaging, explosive thrill riot meant to be seen on the big screen - and it'll induce many a palm to sweat.

Though not an animated technological marvel, it is a humorous delight for all ages with a great message that encourages thought and challenging the status quo.

Nothing can prepare you for what Star Wars: The Last Jedi delivers and that's exactly what makes so damn near perfect.

The Beguiled
SassyMamaInLA
Courtney Howard
This remake is a searing period piece, a Southern gothic drama that seeks to castrate destructive, toxic male energy, and the water comes to a slow boil before it scalds.

The Book of Henry

The Book Of Henry feels like a piss-poor beach read, rather than something worth reading into.

The Disaster Artist

The hilarity and insanity will hook you, but the core of the film is male camaraderie and the indomitable spirit of an enigmatic 'auteur.'

The Foreigner

Courtney Howard
Comes across less like the tense, character-driven page-turner you really want to see, and more like your dad's beach read that got all corroded in the hot sun and saltwater.

Oh, this film is definitely, different, from all the Nutcrackers you know, but that doesn't really make it a good thing.

Guillermo Del Toro has crafted a soaring, heavenly feature that's both a love letter to cinema and an anthem for outsiders everywhere.

Tomb Raider

Finally- a video game movie that works! Based on the 2013 video game reboot, this Lara Croft origin story is gritty, grounded and a roadmap to what heroines should be.

Tully

Courtney Howard
It's real and raw, bruising and bleak and honest to fault. All this makes it entirely wonderful as it's an unapologetic, unwavering, unvarnished look at motherhood.
