 Amazon Studios, 2019. Mindy Kaling wrote and stars in "Late Night," a comedy that doesn't quite work on any level.
 Sundance Selects, 2019. You know the car from "Back to the Future," now get to know the fascinating story behind the car's maker, John DeLorean...it's a story that will transport you through time and may not go exactly the way you remember.
 Universal Pictures, 2019. What's there to say about a movie like this? Kids will like it, adults probably won't. Even so, the money it's set to make for Universal will rain in like...well...cats and dogs.
 Bleecker Street Media, 2019. Two great performances by John Lithgow and Blythe Danner isn't enough to save "The Tomorrow Man" from itself.
 20th Century Fox, 2019. The final chapter of the existing X-Men franchise finds itself too far removed from what makes the X-Men great in the first place.
 Netflix, 2019. New on Netflix this weekend is the romantic-comedy, "Always Be My Maybe," a fairly average entry into the genre elevated to "must-see" status because of a hilarious extended cameo...and an original song that is my current vote for Best Song of 2019.
 Paramount Pictures, 2019. Taron Egerton sets the bar for Best Actor of 2019 with his electric, transformative portrayal of Elton John in the rock-fantasy, "Rocketman."
 "The Perfection," Netflix, 2019.  "Rim of the World," Netflix, 2019. Two new films are available on Netflix this Memorial Day weekend, with one aimed at kids and one aimed squarely at adults.
 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.
