 Warner Bros. Pictures, 2019. In his sophomore directing effort, Edward Norton aims to make a gritty drama set on the streets of 1950s New York, but a lack of narrative spark sends this one sailing way off course.
 Netflix, 2019. If the story of Henry V is a compelling one, you wouldn't know from watching "The King."
 Fox Searchlight, 2019. Everybody has had an invisible pal growing up as a kid...young Jojo's just happens to be Hitler.
 Neon, 2019. The latest film from Bong Joon Ho ("Snowpiercer," "Okja") is funny, thrilling and poignant, and is a must-see for anyone looking to fill out their "Best of 2019" scorecards.
 A24, 2019. It's a trippy, wacky movie that won't be for everyone, but it's a film that may just shine some award-season love on its two stars.
 Sony Pictures Classics, 2019. Antonio Banderas is fantastic in this self-reflective and semi-autobiographical story from director Pedro Almodovar.
 Netflix, 2019. There hasn't been a more beloved, universally-praised TV show in the past decade than AMC's "Breaking Bad." That show, which ended in 2013, gets a new lease on life, as does its protagonist Jesse Pinkman, in "El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie," a fitting epilogue to one hell of a ride.
 Netflix, 2019. It was the surprise, break-out hit at this year's Toronto Film Festival, and as history repeats itself, Dolemite - against all odds - once again finds its way onto the big-screen.
 Paramount Pictures, 2019. More of Will Smith ends up equating to more of the same in "Gemini Man," a lame sci-fi thriller that doubles down on dull.
 Netflix, 2019. The latest Stephen King novella to get a film adaptation, "In the Tall Grass" loses itself in a maze of senseless thrills.
