- DirectorRidley ScottStarsJoaquin PhoenixVanessa KirbyTahar RahimAn epic that details the chequered rise and fall of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and his relentless journey to power through the prism of his addictive, volatile relationship with his wife, Josephine.watched about the first half hour but we all thought it was boring
- DirectorRenny HarlinStarsAaron EckhartNina DobrevClifton Collins Jr.An ex-CIA agent is reactivated when an extortionist targets the agency.it was...fine.
- DirectorJared CohnStarsMcKenzie WestmoreGrant BowlerTyler ChristopherWhen a devastating winter storm slams into North Carolina with the lowest recorded temperatures in history, the whole state starts to freeze over. The spread of the freeze continues to grow taken more and more villages, towns and cities down with it and America is now in the grip of a major disaster. As temperatures turn even colder, climatologists and disaster relief experts race to save lives and stop the storm before it freezes the entire East Coast and America stands on the edge of an icy abyss.2/10 is about right, but bad disaster movies are kind of our thing.
- DirectorMichael MannStarsAdam DriverShailene WoodleyGiuseppe FestineseSet in the summer of 1957, with Enzo Ferrari's auto empire in crisis, the ex-racer turned entrepreneur pushes himself and his drivers to the edge as they launch into the Mille Miglia, a treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy.The guys liked this more than I did, I think--there wasn't much plot IMHO. Did they really use department store mannequins for the crashes?
- DirectorFrancis LawrenceStarsRachel ZeglerTom BlythViola DavisCoriolanus Snow mentors and develops feelings for the female District 12 tribute during the 10th Hunger Games.I DO NOT understand the point of this movie. Also, when you have the person with the remote pause it to see how much is left, and it's almost an hour, and you groan, that's never a good sign.
- CreatorRick RiordanJonathan E. SteinbergStarsWalker ScobellLeah JeffriesAryan SimhadriDemigod Percy Jackson leads a quest across America to prevent a war among the Olympian gods.S1; just me - I liked it, and it definitely improves over the season, but in the early eps especially I felt like I was missing things because I haven't read the books
- CreatorBisha K. AliStarsIman VellaniMatt LintzZenobia ShroffKamala, a superhero fan with an imagination--particularly when it comes to Captain Marvel--feels like she doesn't fit in at school and sometimes even at home, that is until she gets superpowers like the heroes she admires.S1; just me - loved it!
- DirectorMatthew YerbyStarsWilla HollandShane WestDermot MulroneyWhen the small town big shot goes after the deed to her family's bar, a heartbreaking bartender takes extreme measures to keep it.We watched about the first half hour then skipped to the end--not interested enough to sit through the whole thing.
- DirectorTerry IngramStarsAli SkovbyeDanny GriffinNathan WitteIt's July 1895 and the New York elite have decamped to Newport, Rhode Island for a summer of balls, garden parties, and yacht races. Covering these events for the women's pages of the Newport Observer is Emma Vanderbilt-Cross, a fearless twenty-one-year-old writer with family ties to the wealthy Vanderbilt family.Bet the book is better--the suspenseful parts fall flat, and the acting isn't great. The twist was good, though.
- CreatorTom FontanaScott FrankStarsClive OwenCara BossomDenis MénochetThe famous detective Sam Spade is now 60 and living as an expat in the south of France in 1963.S1 - we watched the whole thing because none of us spoke up to say we weren't feeling it. I did admire how they managed to end each of the first few episodes on a cliffhanger, and it did have some funny moments, but the plot was kind of a mess.
- DirectorBrett BentmanStarsKristin KeithThom HallumTiffany McDonaldA scientist races the clock in an attempt to save Earth from a series of deadly meteor attacks.We watched about a half hour and then gave up - slow as hell, dumb dialogue.
- DirectorCraig Tudor JamesStarsOliver ParkNatalie MartinsLucy AardenSolar debris crashes down to Earth, causing widespread destruction and unleashing solar radiation around the world. As genetic mutations rapidly spread, a group of friends must fight to stay alive and escape the chaos.We watched about a half hour and then gave up - this was the one with the zombies, and they just kept making dumb decision after dumb decision.
- DirectorJames WanStarsJason MomoaPatrick WilsonYahya Abdul-Mateen IIBlack Manta seeks revenge on Aquaman for his father's death. Wielding the Black Trident's power, he becomes a formidable foe. To defend Atlantis, Aquaman forges an alliance with his imprisoned brother. They must protect the kingdom.That was certainly a movie.
- DirectorWilliam EubankStarsLiam HemsworthRussell CroweLuke HemsworthA US Army special forces unit is ambushed during a mission to retrieve an intelligence asset and their only remaining hope lies with a remote Air Force drone operator assisting them through a brutal 48-hour battle for survival.The guys liked it; I was busy doing other things, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
- CreatorCameron CroweStarsCarla GuginoLuke WilsonImogen PootsA road crew helps with a rock band's major multi-city tour.Just me, loved it
- DirectorMatthew VaughnStarsHenry CavillBryce Dallas HowardSam RockwellA reclusive author who writes espionage novels about a secret agent and a global spy syndicate realizes the plot of the new book she's writing starts to mirror real-world events, in real time.The first half hour was so good, and then it went off the rails. I saw something online saying it was a prime example of valuing audience surprise over a coherent plot, and I agree.
- StarsCallum TurnerAnthony BoyleAustin ButlerDuring World War II, five miles above the ground and behind enemy lines, ten men inside an aluminum bomber known as a "Flying Fortress" battle antiaircraft fire and unrelenting flocks of German fighters.We watched the first episode, but the characters are very flat.
- DirectorJuan Carlos FresnadilloStarsMillie Bobby BrownRay WinstoneAngela BassettA dutiful damsel agrees to marry a handsome prince, only to find the royal family has recruited her as a sacrifice to repay an ancient debt.We liked it, me most of all; dad didn't like the ending.
- DirectorSiddharth AnandStarsHrithik RoshanDeepika PadukoneAnil KapoorA reckless yet brilliant squadron leader and his team of elite fighter pilots face mortal dangers and inner demons as they unite for a deadly mission.Dad and I watched the first 20 minutes, we both thought it was fine but weren't interested enough to keep going.
- CreatorAron Eli ColeiteStarsLyon DanielsJoy BryantNoah CottrellFollows the Grace family as they move from Brooklyn, New York, to their ancestral home in Henson, Michigan, the Spiderwick Estate.Dad and I watched the first episode. I thought it was OK, but it veers more toward horror than I remember the movie being, and I wasn't enthused about continuing. Dad didn't like it, either.
- CreatorDavid BenioffD.B. WeissAlexander WooStarsJovan AdepoLiam CunninghamEiza GonzálezA fateful decision made in 1960s China reverberates in the present, where a group of scientists partner with a detective to confront an existential planetary threat.We watched the first 2 episodes; the guys thought it was boring, I kind of liked it but found it a little triggering because of all the suicides.
- DirectorNed BensonStarsLucy BoyntonJustin H. MinDavid CorenswetA love story centering on the connection between music and memory and how they transport us, sometimes literally.Mike liked it, I didn't (depressing, dragged in places), and I don't think Dad liked it either.
- DirectorTakashi YamazakiStarsMinami HamabeRyunosuke KamikiSakura AndôPost war Japan is at its lowest point when a new crisis emerges in the form of a giant monster, baptized in the horrific power of the atomic bomb.I thought the action sequences were impressive, but it was another of those movies where the themes were unrelateable (living with performing badly in war). Not sure what the guys thought of it.
- DirectorSimon WestStarsBee RogersAlice RietveldXueqi WangTianhuo Island is as beautiful as a paradise. It almost makes people forget that it is located in the "Ring of Fire" the world-famous Pacific Rim volcanic belt. The volcano erupted, and the fate of the people in the island was entangled.Pretty impressive disaster movie.
- CreatorJez ScharfStarsSiobhán CullenRobyn CaraChris WalleyA group of podcasters set out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of three strangers in an idyllic Irish town. But when they start to pull the strings, they find a story much bigger and stranger than they could have imagined.We watched part of S1 and liked it.

- DirectorGil KenanStarsPaul RuddCarrie CoonFinn WolfhardWhen the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second ice age.I don't think any of us loved it; it felt like a retread of previous movies to me.
