Sea to Shining Sea (2017)
“Capitalizing mightily on the chemistry between two old friends, it finds an engagingly wobbly back and forth rhythm early on, and then just keeps on trucking.” –

Overlord (2018)
82%
“Overlord's combination of heavy artillery and horrid creatures should prove to be pretty irresistible. When it comes to B-Movies, nasty, brutish, and short all count as positive traits.” –

Never Goin' Back (2018)
76%
“The smartly dumb Never Goin' Back is a blissfully low-rent comedy that occasionally approaches the rarified, hazy air of the sainted first half of Cheech and Chong's Next Movie. Absolutely no lessons are learned, thankfully.” –

Summer of 84 (2018)

“Summer of '84 proves to be a worthy addition to the movement, with both a knack for the old familiar steps, and the ability to hit some brand new creepy beats.” –

The Equalizer 2 (2018)
52%
“The Equalizer 2 tries hard to re-create that primal red-meat formula, but it takes far too long puttering around to really deliver the exploitation goods. Just get to the equalizing already!” –

Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts (2017)
98%
“This astonishing neo-western begins with a sequence that will bring jaded grindhouse patrons to their feet, and then Marlina the Murderer in Four Acts blazes its own trail from there, incorporating some potent feminist themes along the way.” –

Nervous Translation (2017)
100%
“Not for all metabolisms, certainly-the narrative could maybe use just a bit more drama, manufactured or otherwise-but the mood it creates and sustains is impressive. Capturing kidhood without being cloying is no easy feat.” –

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

“By the time Infinity War draws to its enigmatic whopper of a close, even viewers feeling burned out by the guys-in-long-underwear genre will find themselves eager for the sequel. Is it next summer yet?” –

“Consider it a last playful gift from a master director, who always trusted his audience enough to let them fill in the blanks. Blinking is discouraged.” –

Rogers Park (2017)
100%
“Rogers Park successfully captures a compelling slice of life where there are no clear-cut heroes or villains, just normal everyday folks with some recognizably unlovely facets to their personalities.” –

Back to Burgundy (2017)
73%
“While the end results won't surprise anyone who has seen more than a handful of movies, this sense of timelines happening simultaneously gives an unusual, lingering resonance to the film. If it wins awards, you most likely won't mind.” –

They Remain (2017)
59%
“They Remain, the first filmed take on [Laird Barron's] work, manages to replicate a gratifying amount of that distinctive vibe, infusing the story with large doses of free-form agoraphobic anxiety. It lingers.” –

A Brighter Summer Day (1991)
100%
“A film that somehow manages to exist simultaneously as a painstakingly detailed coming-of-age story, a paean to the eternal awesomeness of rock and roll, and an entrancing tone poem. If this isn't a masterpiece, then what is?” –

Have a Nice Day (2017)

“Ultimately, what Have a Nice Day delivers is the compulsive hook of good crime fiction, with the array of flashbacks and wrong moves setting up a Venal Mobius Strip of bad choices and worse consequences.” –

“Anocha Suwichakornpong's WTF tone poem of a film casts a bewitching spell, even/especially as it periodically reinvents itself. Intriguing and severely beautiful throughout, even during those moments when it seems like logic has taken a flyer.” –
