Oh, Hello On Broadway (2017) |
This production is alt comedy at its finest, as John Mulaney and Nick Kroll indulge in each other's improv, skewer every Broadway trope imaginable, and relish every opportunity to make the audience (or each other) uncomfortable. - CinemaBlend

The Legend of Frosty the Snowman (2005) |
If you are a kid, with a kid, or simply by yourself on Christmas, The Legend of Frosty the Snowman is pleasurable viewing to coincide with gift-opening. - CinemaBlend

Game Over, Man! (2018) |
Game Over, Man! is dull, plodding, not particularly funny, and it squanders an abundance of proven comedic talent by leaning into crass bits that don't generate nearly enough laughs. - CinemaBlend

Ant-Man and The Wasp (2018) |
Ant-Man and The Wasp is bolder, funnier, and far more daring than the film that preceded it, but also slightly less even and narratively tight. - CinemaBlend

Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018) |
Though not quite as masterful as the film that preceded it, Sicario: Day of the Soldado is a damn-fine sequel that honors the narrative work done by Denis Villeneuve in the first film and allows Taylor Sheridan to build on an already fascinating world. - CinemaBlend

Blumhouse's Truth or Dare (2018) |
Despite a few solid scares and set pieces, as well as a killer ending, Truth or Dare's embrace of cliche and lack of internal logic makes it stand out as a lower tier Blumhouse affair. - CinemaBlend

A Quiet Place (2018) |

Black Panther (2018) |
Ryan Coogler's Black Panther is one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most powerful, moving, and thematically resonant films to date. It's also one of its most uneven, when all is said and done. - CinemaBlend

Peter Rabbit (2018) |
Peter Rabbit is better as a straight comedy than an adaptation of Beatrix Potter's beloved books. It's full of laughs, but never captures its source's warmth. - CinemaBlend
