In my opinion, a murder mystery filled with suspense, well-crafted dialogue and one jarring twist topped off with a bucket of buttery popcorn is one of the best uses of 2 hours one can have. It truly is the one genre where you actively engage with the movie by sleuthing along with the detective, and in that capacity, “Murder on the Orient Express” delivers. Unfortunately, the only thing that is really murdered is the dialogue.

Ethan and Joel Coen could probably be typecast as the pair of most unpredictable screenwriters in Hollywood in terms of their success. “Hail Caesar” and “Bridge of Spies,” for instance, reached 85 and 91 percent respectively among critics, according to Rotten Tomatoes. On the other hand, “Unbroken” and “Gambit” earned 51 and 17 percent respectively. While their films are unpredictable in quality, in “Suburbicon” their voices seem to be unintelligible.

There’s something to be said for big budget, CGI driven films highlighting how human ignorance is leading to the destruction of the world. They explore big ideas through ridiculous circumstances and often their only saving grace is that they are sometimes fun flicks. “Geostorm” is all of the big ideas and nonsense of the genre, but none of the fun.

Just mentioning the name Winnie the Pooh, one cannot help but start to hum the familiar song that accompanies Pooh Bear on the start of his many adventures. After being around for nearly a century — since 1926 to be exact — it is hard to find a college student or parent of one who has not heard of the honey-loving guy. However, in director Simon Curtis’s “Goodbye Christopher Robin,” fans of one of childhood’s most beloved storybook characters get to witness his surprising beginnings.

Jackie Chan has delighted audiences worldwide for decades. Between his hit action flicks and starring in the recent LEGO Ninjago Movie, Chan has been a Hollywood presence for as long as this reviewer has been alive. His latest film promised to highlight this popularity in a new light, but unfortunately, it doesn’t deliver.

Thurgood Marshall, a name almost every American has heard before. Perhaps best known for his role in Brown v. The Board of Education and for being the first African-American Supreme Court Justice, Open Road Film’s latest biopic directed by Reginald Hudlin, “Marshall” takes a look into one of the justice’s early, career-defining cases.

Kate Winslet and Idris Elba, two of Hollywood’s most capable actors, find themselves in some deep snow this fall as they play strangers destined to freeze together on a snowy mountain. However, in "The Mountain Between Us," in which surviving is the end game, the thing that truly thrives is their chemistry.

It’s an age-old question, whether or not the man or the woman is the superior to the other. In “Battle of the Sexes” while there is a clear winner in some regards, the larger ideas are what hit home.

In an all too saturated market of reboots and nine-part movie franchises, having fresh ideas on screen was sorely needed by the time “Kingsman: The Secret Service” reinvented the spy genre only a few years ago. With its great and unanticipated success, its successor to the throne had a lot to live up to.

Three years ago, “The Lego Movie” surprised audiences as a wild hit. Earlier this year, “The Lego Batman Movie” again proved that Lego and Warner Bros. studios know what they’re doing. Now, “The Lego Ninjago Movie” is no different.

Hilarious attorney at law, thoughtful backpacker, not-so-little-liar, jaw-dropping carnival performer: yes, Reese Witherspoon has worn many hats and while “Home Again” isn’t anything so extraordinary, Witherspoon’s comforting motherly figure is welcomed with open arms.

Taylor Sheridan strikes again. The Oscar nominated screenwriter, best known for writing the screenplays for both “Sicario” (2015) and “Hell or High Water” (2016) returns this time both writing and directing his film “Wind River” and so far, his score is three for three.

Family and functionality aren’t two words that always go hand-in-hand. However, “The Glass Castle” and the Walls family prove that regardless of circumstance, family is family and living with them isn’t as hard as living without them.

Have you ever gone on a rollercoaster and had a fun time, but the moment you stepped off immediately felt cheated out of your time and money? Maybe that’s too aggressive a metaphor, but after watching Nikolaj Arcel’s “The Dark Tower” I left like I had just gotten off that ride.

A city of a thousand planets honestly sounds like a nightmare. One large city full of people crowding, yelling and rushing is more than enough for most, but a thousand planets? No thanks. That is unless you’re in Luc Besson’s dazzling new adventure.

Normally looking at the words “ghost” and “story” only leads to a creepy, unsettling feeling that sets the stage for a fright-filled evening event. “A Ghost Story” may be the antithesis of that genre, as its calming nature and slow-moving plot tell a story with illuminating ideas for humanity and loss.
