 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?
 Sony Pictures Releasing, 2020. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence re-team as "bad boys" in this third - and final? - installment that started way back in 1995.
 Lionsgate, 2019. Jay Roach's approach to the sexual harassment lawsuit that rocked FOX News is not quite "fair and balanced," but it sure is fun.
 Netflix, 2019. Two fantastic actors take on two amazing men, and the results are nothing short of miraculous. Too bad the film doesn't have faith enough to stay focused in the present.
 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.
 Lionsgate, 2019. It's not sharp enough to be in the awards-season discussion, but "Knives Out" is a deliciously fun night out at the movies.
 Walt Disney Animation, 2019. Not that my opinion will matter in the larger picture, but "Frozen II" feels like re-heated Disney leftovers.
 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.
 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.
