The trilogy goes out on a high note where hard choices are put above personal fulfillment and the cost of saying goodbye has a real impact. It's a bittersweet farewell.

Isn't It Romantic (2019)
Todd Strauss-Schulson's delightful movie carefully walks the line between mocking romantic comedies and giving the genre a loving tribute.

Happy Death Day 2U (2019)
There are still some fun moments to be had and Rothe remains a charismatic force, but 2U definitely comes off as a rushed cash-in rather than a fresh idea.

High Flying Bird (2019)
High Flying Bird is bursting with interesting ideas to the point where you wish it had more scope than it's iPhone cinematography and two-person conversations allow.

Although it doesn't hit as hard as the upending of the Chosen One narrative from the first film, The LEGO Movie 2 still has some interesting things to say.

Troop Zero (2019)
The film leans... heavily on saccharine moments that feel like a brute force way to your heart rather than earning an emotional reaction.

Aquaman (2018)
Plot-wise, the result is a hot, foamy mess, my friends, but a mess that washed over me like a tidal wave.

Alita: Battle Angel (2019)

Cold Pursuit (2019)
Most revenge thrillers have an element of the absurd inherent in the nameless thugs who get mowed down. Cold Pursuit just has the bravado to lean into the absurdity.

Them That Follow (2019)
Britt Poulton and Dan Madison Savage's movie never fully empathizes with its characters, so it comes off as crass voyeurism.

3.5/5
It's as candid a documentary about a "celebrity" personality as I've ever seen, and Cameron Crowe's probing questions lead to genuine insights about the brevity of human life.

Love, Antosha (2019)
Love, Antosha is a loving, heartbreaking, but ultimately inspiring documentary about a young man who was not going to let life put him in a box.

Blinded by the Light (2019)
I have no doubt that by the time 2019 is done, Blinded by the Light will stand as one of the year's best films.

Brittany Runs a Marathon (2019)
It's got the beats of a rom-com, but with the edge of an indie held together by smart storytelling and great performances, especially from lead actress Jillian Bell.

Native Son (2019)
Ashton Sanders is downright stunning, but the film's strict adherence to the book's shocking twists and turns result in a frustratingly uneven and incongruous experience.

Honey Boy (2019)
What results is a harrowing, violent, emotional film in which LaBeouf is clearly (and admirably) baring his soul.

While it doesn't quite click fully into the gear it's aiming for, it touches upon some fascinating notions of human nature and boasts a truly impressive performance from Efron.

It's a knock-down, drag-out battle between the series' biggest brawlers, and it's a real spectacle to behold. You'll need a senzu bean after this one.
