The Internship | Toledo Blade | Kirk Baird | While it's nice to have a Vaughn and Wilson buddy-up again, we can only wish they'd crashed another comedy instead. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | true | 4 | 9 | 2 | 2,421 |
The Lone Ranger | Toledo Blade | Kirk Baird | [Verbinski] crams as much big-budget exhilaration into his movie as its origin story will permit, creating a film less about its namesake as it is large-scale action sequences, explosions, and CGI stunts. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | true | 4 | 9 | 2 | 2,421 |

World War Z | Toledo Blade | Kirk Baird | Playing the reluctant hero dragged into service, Pitt neither oversells Lane's bravery and action-hero abilities nor underplays his strength and quick-thinking skills.

Ant-Man and the Wasp | Toronto Sun | Mark Daniell | But for the most part, the two hours you'll spend running around with Marvel's Ant pals is fun and doesn't have the same emotional investment Infinity War or even Black Panther did earlier this year. And, for once in the MCU, that's kind of refreshing. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |
Avengers: Endgame | Toronto Sun | Mark Daniell | We haven't seen anything like this before in franchise movie-making. One can only hope that the next 10 years of Marvel storytelling comes close to this. | 4/4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | false | 6 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |
Avengers: Infinity War | Toronto Sun | Mark Daniell | The Marvel Cinematic Universe's newest entry is its biggest, most ambitious piece of storytelling in the studio's 10 years of existence and the minute you exit the theatre, you'll be lining up at the box office to buy another ticket. It's that good. | 4/4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | false | 6 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |
Black Panther | Toronto Sun | Liz Braun | Black Panther is every bit as good as you were hoping. Actually -- it's better. A terrific screenplay from Ryan Coogler and Joe Robert Cole elevates this thing way beyond the usual boundaries of the Marvel Universe. | 4/4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | false | 6 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |
Captain Marvel | Toronto Sun | Mark Daniell | Does it work? The short answer is: yes. There's enough to keep both diehard Marvel fans and newcomers engaged. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |
Christopher Robin | Toronto Sun | Mark Daniell | Christopher Robin pricks the surface, and it'll certainly leave you with the warm and fuzzies, but the story sticks a little too closely to the surface. | 2.5/4 | 4 | 2.5 | 4 | false | 3 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |
Death Wish | Toronto Sun | Mark Daniell | Death Wish -- the 2018 version -- is riddled with more plot holes than bullet holes. | 1/4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | false | 0 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |
Gemini Man | Toronto Sun | Mark Daniell | [Will] Smith's kinetic charm goes a long way to making us forgive some of those shortcomings, particularly if you grew up on the '90s action films that helped make him a global star. But a movie with this type of artistic pedigree deserves more. | 2.5/4 | 4 | 2.5 | 4 | false | 3 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |
Joker | Toronto Sun | Mark Daniell | [Todd] Phillips and [Joaquin] Phoenix deserve credit for reimagining what a comic book movie can be.

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising | Toronto Sun | Jim Slotek | Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising is an unexpectedly funny addition to a gross-out college comedy genre you'd think would be played out by now. It is smartly-written dumb stuff. | 3.5/4 | 4 | 3.5 | 4 | false | 5 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |
Pacific Rim Uprising | Toronto Sun | Liz Braun | It's all so much like watching Saturday morning cartoons, and every bit as not riveting. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 2 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |
Ready Player One | Toronto Sun | Mark Daniell | Many of the book's references to Spielberg's cultural artifacts have been stripped away, but he imbibes the movie with flashes of colour and heart that rekindle a sense of wonderment that will transport many viewers back to their childhoods. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |
Red Sparrow | Toronto Sun | Liz Braun | Red Sparrow isn't a good movie, and that's too bad, because you can see what it might have been. The story has intrigue built into it in a way that probably made perfect sense on the page; it just doesn't translate onto the big screen. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 2 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |
Sicario: Day of the Soldado | Toronto Sun | Liz Braun | It's a given that sequels are never as good as the original movie, but Sicario: Day of The Soldado, is worth seeing. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |

The Innkeepers | Toronto Sun | Liz Braun | Fans of the horror genre can expect to get all nostalgic about the 1970s feel to the action, which most certainly includes people going down the basement, all alone, in the dark, and that sort of thing. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |

Toy Story 4 | Toronto Sun | Mark Daniell | Toy Story 4 achieves the near impossible. It's an emotionally rewarding film that joyfully reintroduces old friends alongside a new roster of engaging characters. | 4/4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | false | 6 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |
Unsane | Toronto Sun | Liz Braun | Unsane starts out as a psychological thriller and then moves into the B-movie physical realm with gusto. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 4 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |
Venom | Toronto Sun | Mark Daniell | Part of the reason the superhero genre has managed to elevate itself is it gives us characters that we root for and care about. Venom does none of this. | 1/4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | false | 0 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |
Whiplash | Toronto Sun | Jim Slotek | Director Damien Chazelle, who based the story on his own experience as a student jazz drummer in the thrall of an Alpha task-master, has created a remarkably economical and claustrophobic piece of storytelling. | 4/4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | false | 6 | 7 | 2 | 2,425 |

24 City (Er shi si cheng ji) | Total Film | Carmen Gray | Punctuated with eyebrow-raising poems about aeronautics factories, its treacle-paced obliqueness will frustrate some viewers.

Dear John | Total Film | Matt Mueller | This is a slothful weepie, plagued by a sickly mishmash of plot strands and a gaping chemistry hole at its core. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 1 | 4 | 1 | 2,427 |

Gentlemen Broncos | Total Film | Ken McIntyre | Classic underdog vs smug establishment stuff, you might think. But it's all played out in puke-slathered anti-comedy sketches better suited to no-budget YouTube videos than a multimillion-dollar film. | 2/4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | false | 1 | 4 | 1 | 2,427 |
Inception | Total Film | Neil Smith | A conceptual coup that, in dealing with the shifting logic and fractured reality of dreams, frees itself from the need to satisfy any conventions, formulae or expectations. | 4/4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | false | 3 | 4 | 1 | 2,427 |
Jane Eyre | Total Film | Neil Smith | A bold choice of director, striking visuals and a Rochester to rival Orson Welles' ensures this doesn't feel like just one more highbrow period piece or stodgy great-book adap. | 3/4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | false | 2 | 4 | 1 | 2,427 |

No One Knows About Persian Cats (Les Chats Persans) | Total Film | Philip Kemp | The mid-section drags slightly, but the cumulative effect is powerful, revealing what it's like to live in a society where even well-behaved kids can be crushed by the dictates of arbitrary, heavy-handed authority. | 4/4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | false | 3 | 4 | 1 | 2,427 |
