The Red Turtle is an extraordinary film, a quintessential example of both cinema- and animation-as-art that confidently, gracefully, and definitively straddles that very delicate and very desirable magical line between purpose, presentation, and entertainment value. The film is unique, visionary in its own right, and wide open for interpretation with no wrong serious answers. It will dazzle as it plays and resonate long after it ends.

It's been kind of interesting seeing reactions to La La Land since it came out. I have some friends who think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, and others who think it's a decidedly overrated piece of triviality. I actually like and admire large swaths of the film. It's bright and breezy, the staging and choreography of the songs are both very effective , and the performances are all extremely enjoyable as well.

Underworld: Blood Wars amounts to little more than franchise filler, a movie that's a step away from DTV fodder. It never sparks the imagination or tries to do anything different; even the Nordic Vampires offer little real reprieve from the series' trademark visual style. Action is bland, story mechanics are convoluted, the movie gives no real reason for the audience to care, particularly the casual crowd. This is a movie made strictly for the franchise's fanbase; anyone else is going to feel lost, and likely bored.

The Roddenberry Vault is a terrific set and one of the year's best releases. Filled with terrific new material, bringing over a dozen of the original series' best episodes, and attractively packaged, the only two real downsides are that it's not bigger than it is (if that's even possible) and that there's no way to access many of the amazing newly unearthed scenes and alternate takes on a point-and-click by-episode basis.

Lion is an excellent movie that captures a singular goal -- the desire to go home -- from two different perspectives but through the eyes of the same individual. The film plays with its core emotions extremely well in both of its very distinct halves, solidified by two enormously strong performances from Sunny Pawar and Dev Patel as the same character across the years. The movie doesn't offer many surprises, even for those who don't know the story but only the basic plot, but it succeeds thanks to the incredible portrayals and the real emotions the actors bring to the role.

Assassin's Creed never quite achieves the gravitas it's obviously aiming for, but this 4K UHD version offers some stunning visuals and (perhaps even more so) audio. If you're a fan of the games and curious about the film, I'd recommend going for this version if you have the home theater equipment to support it.

Sing is a surprisingly good movie, accessible for the kids -- colorful, cute, lots of music -- but mature enough for adults. It walks that fine line, usually reserved for Pixar, very well and very confidently.

Rogue One is a great movie and its characters are well developed, its action is amazingly well staged, and it's so deeply ingrained into the Star Wars universe -- even as the darkest and grittiest movie of them all, and by a fairly wide margin -- that it can't help but fit right in.

The Gate is a whirlwind of some really fun effects sequences, and those sequences give the film an enjoyable energy that the film's kind of haphazard story telling never really does. There's so much going wrong in Glen's world that it almost becomes comical after a while, and in fact some horror fans probably will be prone to giggle at the hordes of little demons overtaking the family home.

The Lesson is an intelligent and creepy British horror thriller from first-time director Ruth Platt. The film will satisfy fans with its prolonged moments of sheer gore and terrific suspense. The Lesson is not for the faint-hearted but it's worth taking a chance on to learn from the literary and pop culture references that its narrative invokes.
