If you lived through the 1980s or are an aficionado of action films from that decade, you’ve, no doubt, seen several films that take a similar course.

It was a pleasant diversion for me, but one I’d recommend waiting to see at home. It’s not the type of movie that would suffer from playing on the small screen.

This adaptation of Stephen King’s 1986 novel is a well-crafted, character-driven film that does justice to the source material and is at times brutally scary.

Without a new film to review, let’s take a look at some of the more anticipated films that will be opening this month in theaters.

While not his most sophisticated work, Soderbergh crafts an entertaining movie that hits most of its marks. The film is relatively simple for a heist movie, but that’s to its credit.

This film is not to be missed if you enjoy thrillers like Silence of the Lambs or Insomnia.

Coming out of Bigelow’s film, I felt like my soul had been pistol-whipped, experiencing shame for the atrocities committed simply because of a difference in skin tone.

It isn’t so much what is left out from the books, or really what was left in. The issue is that Arcel’s tepid and unimaginative direction left me not caring one way or the other.

If the story is compelling, and the characters feel true, an audience can overlook mediocre or even poor special effects.

Dunkirk is a stunningly shot movie that somehow makes the outcome of war look horrifically beautiful.

If you are looking for a sci-fi film with a little more meat on the bone than normal, director Matt Reeves might just have it for you with his latest film War for the Planet of the Apes.

This fresh cinematic take on Spiderman is fun and funny as well as packed with a whole lot of heart.

You might find a better action movie this year than “Baby Driver,” but I wouldn’t bet on it.
