Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019) |
As much as I hate to say it, if you love Maleficent and her story, stop at the 2014 film or even rewatch the classic Sleeping Beauty. This sequel doesn't do the character or the Disney legacy justice. - The Daily Times (Tennessee)

Downton Abbey (2019) |
As a feature-length movie, the film falters on a few levels, but, as the end of an era and a final goodbye, it hits all the right notes. It's extravagant, rich and exactly what you'd expect on a trip to Downton Abbey. - The Daily Times (Tennessee)

Joker (2019) |
It's an incredibly heavy film. It's well done, but it's heavy and leaves the viewer feeling like they've just gone 10 rounds in a heavyweight boxing match. It's mentally exhausting and desperately dark. - The Daily Times (Tennessee)

In the Shadow of the Moon (2019) |
At some point, In the Shadow of the Moon just goes down a wormhole of politics and elaborate theories. It's not fun to watch, and when we finally get the big reveal of why the killer did what she did we don't care. - The Daily Times (Tennessee)

Judy (2019) |
We are given a window into the final months of one of Hollywood's greatest stars and one of its greatest victims, as well. Hollywood has always preyed on the weak, children and women, especially. Judy was both. - The Daily Times (Tennessee)

The Addams Family (2019) |
This isn't a film only for children or old-school fans. There's something here for everyone. It's a clever, funny movie with a message about family, even the quirky ones who we want to belittle or make fun of. - The Daily Times (Tennessee)

The Laundromat (2019) |
Unfortunately, the story itself is too busy, jumbled and more than a bit dry. I found myself watching the clock and even pausing a time or two, shocked by how little of the film I'd actually sat through. - The Daily Times (Tennessee)

Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) |

Men in Black: International (2019) |
It's not a great film, and it's not even what I would consider to be a 'good' one. But, it's not meant to be. It's a fun romp through the galaxy, and Hemsworth and Thompson play off of each other beautifully. - The Daily Times (Tennessee)
