 Universal Pictures, 2020. Take my film critic credentials and throw them in the ocean. "Dolittle" is not good...it's quite bad in fact. Still, there's worse ways to spend a weekend afternoon with the kiddies. A glowing endorsement, right?
 Lucasfilm/Disney, 2019. 42 years in the making, the Skywalker Saga draws to a close with its ninth and final Episode. So will fans be pleased with "The Rise of Skywalker"? There are MILD SPOILERS to follow, so prepare yourself...
 Sony Pictures Classics, 2019. Those that loved the the 2017 franchise reboot, "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" are probably not going to have a problem with its new sequel...but that doesn't mean it's good.
 Walt Disney Animation, 2019. Not that my opinion will matter in the larger picture, but "Frozen II" feels like re-heated Disney leftovers.
 IG-11 (Taika Waititi) and The Mandalorian (Pedro Pascal) in the Disney+ series THE MANDALORIAN. Lucasfilm Ltd. (c) 2019 Lucasfilm Ltd. All Rights Reserved. The long-awaited, highly-anticipated flagship original series on the new Disney+ streaming platform has finally arrived...but is it any good? It depends on what you're into.
 Paramount Pictures, 2019. This good but not great sequel acts as a direct follow-up to 1991's "T2: Judgment Day," brushing off the other three Terminator films that came in-between...and it's a welcome blend of new and old faces designed not so much as to set this franchise up for the future, but to have it come to terms with its past.
 IFC Films, 2019. Deeply disturbing and at times excruciatingly painful to watch, this brutal revenge film is a nuanced, unflinching shock to the system.
 Roadside Attractions, 2019. The new independent film "The Peanut Butter Falcon" wants to be a stylish, road-trip adventure, but it goes nowhere fast.
 Universal Pictures, 2019. Teenage boys look for love in an R-rated world, finding just enough laughs along the way to make it all worth it...sort of.
