In the new sci-fi horror flick 'The Meg,' Jason Statham tries to save the crew of a deep-sea submersible from a 70-foot prehistoric shark called the Carcharodon megalodon.
'Don’t go getting all grown up on us.' That’s the sentiment that hangs over 'Christopher Robin,' a new film about old friends and embracing your inner child.
In 'Skyscraper,' Dwayne Johnson delivers a high-flying action thriller that's big on drama but offers few characters to care about, writes film critic Richard Crouse.
'Ant-Man and The Wasp' is marred by excess. Too many characters, too many story shards—a rescue mission, two sets of baddies chasing down the quantum technology, a romantic subplot, a family film angle—too much exposition and too much quantum theory.
“Sicario: Day of the Soldado” is a wild ride until it stops making sense in the last reel. It’s not a feel-good movie but it desperately tries to imitate one in its final moments.
'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom' embraces the thing that has always been at the rapidly beating heart of these movies, monster mayhem and on that level it succeeds.
The jokes and the set pieces are bigger and badder but it’s the mushy stuff that prevents “Deadpool 2” from slipping solely into freak show mode. It's a movie that works both as a superhero flick and as a twisted family drama.
Like “Back to School,” “Life of the Party” isn’t a particularly good movie, but Melissa McCarthy brings some heart to it and in this story of a mother and daughter, that’s enough.
"Tully," new dramedy from Oscar nominated director Jason Reitman, presents an often-used stereotype, the stressed out mom, then takes the story to some unexpected places, writes CTV News contributor Richard Crouse.
In 'Avengers: Infinity War,' dazzling action scenes are the main event. But, as film critic Richard Crouse writes, the story is elevated by higher-than-ever stakes.
'I Feel Pretty' has plenty of sentiment and tries like hell to wring a tear or two out of weary eyes in its uplifting finale but ultimately it’s a sitcom stretched to feature length.
Based on the novel of the same name, 'Ready Player One' isn't a reboot or reimagining of a comic book or old film, it's an original story with enough pop culture icons to warm the hearts of any nostalgic moviegoer.
“A Wrinkle in Time” contains good messages for kids and some visuals that will make your eyeballs dance and it is made with heart but it feels like it bites off more than it can chew, says film critic Richard Crouse.
“Every Day” takes the long way around to drive home the point that making a spiritual connection with someone is just as important as clicking physically, says movie critic Richard Crouse.
"Black Panther" is a breath of fresh air, a warm breeze along the lines of “Ant-Man” or “Doctor Strange," films that transcend the superhero genre, pushing the form into new, unexplored territory.
Watching “Fifty Shades Freed", the final movie in the trilogy, feels like breaking up with someone you know you’ll never see again. You feel relief that it is over mixed with regret that you wasted all that time in the first place, says film critic Richard Crouse.
Based on Doug Stanton’s non-fiction book “Horse Soldiers,” “12 Strong” is both conventional and unconventional in its approach. Structured like a traditional war film, it’s also the first time (to my memory) we’ve seen modern warfare on horseback on the big screen.
