 A whole new world? Hardly. The new, completely unnecessary live-action re-make of Disney's animated classic, "Aladdin" should have stayed bottled up.
 Annapurna Pictures, 2019. The R-rated comedy "Booksmart" is being touted as the female "Superbad," but that's because it's super-good.
 MGM, 2019. What dirty rotten scoundrels. Oh, not Rebel Wilson and Anne Hathaway. I'm talking about whomever it was that decided to breathe life into this cruddy remake of a remake.
 STX Entertainment, 2019. Diane Keaton looks for self-inspiration in a retirement community, but this farce could have used a major dose of teen spirit.
 Netflix, 2019. Even Babe Ruth struck out...Michael Jordan had occasional air-balls. So I won't hold it against the super-talented, usually-hilarious Amy Poehler, but her directorial debut, "Wine Country" is pretty terrible.
 The new Seth Rogen/Charlize Theron film "Long Shot" is more of a political satire than it is a straight-up rom-com, but - against all odds - it somehow works.
 The Film Arcade, 2019. This forgettable, throw-away indy comedy has some funny moments, but they're sparse.
 Smith Global Media, 2019. The strange but true story that gave us the term "Stockholm Syndrome" is brought to life with some inspired performances, but it ultimately fails to hold the audience captive.
