The Kissing Booth – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
On one hand, The Kissing Booth can be seen as a conversation on a young woman’s autonomy. On the other, it is a simple, sweet, and kind of cheesy romantic comedy.
Mixed (Divisive)
Due to this movie having a few quirks, of which may work for some and for others be a problem, we believe your enjoyment of this movie will depend on your taste.

Breaking In is one of those films which will only be as good as the audience talking through it.

All These Small Moments gives you a taste of so many great stories and leaves you hungering for more from each one.
The Week Of – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
As Adam Sandler seemingly tries to combine his style of comedy with his more appreciated dramatic works, we get the very rough The Week Of.

Batman Ninja’s beautiful and intricate art is wasted on a story which is not only dull but perhaps features more mecha action than ninja/samurai styled fights.

With sequels being talked about or confirmed, so dies some of the tension of Infinity War. However, at least Marvel is learning how to make better villains.
Slut In A Good Way – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Slut In A Good Way is a forgettable comedy which doesn’t bring anything new to the slut conversation or bring about some sense of sexual empowerment.
In a Relationship – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
In a Relationship tones down the dramatics of young love and while the lack of dramatics does make the film eventually feel dull, it also makes it one the most honest depiction you’ve seen in a while.
29 to Life – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
29 to Life may feature one of the most unbelievable romances (not in a good way), but the charm of its female lead might just be strong enough for you to stick around.
Little Woods – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Little Woods may sell you on the idea of a bi-racial sisterhood, but it’s more so about critiquing the American health system vs. what Canada offers and the illegal market the discrepancy creates.

Depending on whether you stick to what is presented on the surface, or go deeper, that will ultimately decide whether you allow yourself to enjoy The Misandrist.

Considering the times we are in, if I was still in middle school or high school, I’d skip every assembly after watching this movie.
Krystal – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
This odd coming of age comedy may be a bit weak in terms of story, but it still makes for a pleasant experience.
Truth or Dare – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
While the story has an eye-roll inducing ending, if you’re someone who likes a few decent jump scares it might be worth a matinee viewing.

While funny at times, there is something about Blockers which makes you feel you’ve seen other movies do its joke and story better.
Gemini – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
While Zoe Kravitz remains a draw, this film may feel like a bait and switch if you are getting a ticket to see her.

Roxanne Roxanne is a story which needed to be told, but there might be some who wished it was told better.
Midnight Sun – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Corny yet sweet, predictable but still a tear-jerker, Midnight Sun isn’t for everyone but for those this was meant for, they may love it.
Tomb Raider – Review (with Spoilers)
While you have to appreciate Vikander’s take on the legendary video game heroine, it completely misses the mark on what made Lara Croft a mainstay of her industry.
Love, Simon – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Love, Simon completely wastes its nearly perfect cast with the kind of adaptation which makes you wish it completely disassociated itself from the book.

The play which evolved into a movie brings all you expect from its talented cast, as they pretty much stick to the type of characters they have become adept to playing and being surrounded by.
Curse of Chucky – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Setting aside the issues the film has with continuity, this direct to DVD sequel redeems the series after the horrible Seed of Chucky.

Uwantme2killhim shows the danger of cyber relations in a world where the lonely can make too much of an investment in whoever the person is who is replying.

Middleton is a silly movie which feels like it slightly suffers from the unofficial 90 minute minimum requirement for movies.

Newness, while it has a certain charm emanating from its leads, struggles to maintain interest during its nearly 2-hour timespan.
Every Day – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
While it is clear, when watching, this is a YA novel adaptation, between Angourie Rice and the writing, Every Day sidesteps a lot of expectations. Though not some which matter the most.

ExPatriot seems like an NBC mid-season replacement you didn’t know existed.
Irreplaceable You – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Honestly, I’m ready for Gugu Mbatha-Raw to star in the majority of Netflix’s movies for she finds a way to elevate them past their innate mediocrity.
Where’s The Money? – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
With Where’s The Money? I think it is time to evaluate whether many a Black urban comedy can qualify as being “camp” in style.
The Cloverfield Paradox – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
The Cloverfield Paradox doesn’t really live up to the hype the franchise has had, or seems worth how much Netflix likely paid, but can be enjoyable.

Maze Runner: The Death Cure tries its hardest for an epic ending but ends up falling on its face with every attempt at an emotional moment.
