You’re going to hear a lot about how Queen & Slim is a lot like other movies, except it’s not

The Invisible Man
First thing’s first; H.G. Wells this is not
Uncut Gems
Very possibly Adam Sandler’s best turn, he’s far from alone

First of all; it’s stunning
The Irishman
A lot of cinema’s most ardent and casual fans have been waiting a long time for a movie like this one
Zombieland: Double Tap
It’s sequel time – your October surprise; Zombieland 2
