The film moves around but does so like a TV show and not in movie making terms in terms of sweeping gestures. "The Sopranos" in all actuality is quite good on TV for a reason, because it is about those small moments that don't need grand cinematic gestures.

While Hardy and Venom in their scenes are brilliant (despite not using motion capture), it doesn't translate at all to the overall thrust of the movie which is too bad considering who he is going up against in Woody Harrelson as serial killer Celtus Kasady.

"Titane" is unique and tries a lot of different things. In doing so it creates riveting performances at times from Lindon and Rouselle while bathing a story in metaphors that only truly works when the truth of caring comes through.

Despite some restrictions but a stellar performance by Tim Blake Nelson made even more so as the layers are unraveled, "Old Henry" is old school and yet delivers its goods with both stakes, time and focus.

"Best Sellers" tries to show that path in the progression of a nihilist. The interesting structure is the reverse casting of Aubrey Plaza and Michael Caine that gives it its fragility but also, at times, a lack of edge.

"Cry Macho" is an Eastwood picture through and through but that little something extra described above sets it apart and shows why Eastwood is still up there with the best of them.

"Copshop", a lower budget but efficient par-for-the-course entry from director Joe Carnahan continues to shows his love but also texture to make small taut action movies.

With "Malignant", while the horror of the core idea has merit, its reasoning and eventual use is so asanine that it becomes generally laughable at parts (which is not a look that the director of "Aquaman" should be having).

In "Shang-Chi & The Legend Of The Ten Rings", it is a pendulum swing back and forth melding the aspect of the Marvel Comics with both an Asian sensibility and a Western flair.
