The Mummy (2017)

An ancient Egyptian princess is awakened from her crypt beneath the desert, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia, and terrors that defy human comprehension.

Ben Is Back (2018)

 

A drug addicted teenage boy shows up unexpectedly at his family's home on Christmas Eve.  

Good ensemble drama provides some original ideas to tell the story of a family dealing with drug abusing child.

The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story (2016)

 

On the morning of June 13, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman are found stabbed to death outside Brown's Brentwood, Los Angeles condominium. Brown's ex-husband, NFL player, broadcaster, and actor O. J. Simpson, becomes a person of interest in their murders.

Good, informative and at times even slightly humorous Account of the O.J. Simpson case is thoroughly watchable, but the quality of the performances are variable from excellent (Paulson, Brown) to campy (Travolta, Gooding Jr.).

 

 

The Mummy (2017)

An ancient Egyptian princess is awakened from her crypt beneath the desert, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia, and terrors that defy human comprehension.

Thoroughly derivative and superfluous attempt to establish another franchise based on the Universal horror classic (and somehow mistaking zombies for mummies); besides some splashy action and effects there's nothing much to be thrilled about.

The Divide (2011)

Survivors of a nuclear attack are grouped together for days in the basement of their apartment building, where fear and dwindling supplies wear away at their dynamic.

Intense closed-room drama with some nasty scenes and a lot of over-the-top performances.

Final Destination 5 (2011)

 

 

Survivors of a suspension-bridge collapse learn there's no way you can cheat Death.

 

More of the same; if you like to see imaginative death scenes, it'll entertain you.

 

Maltin**1/2: "More of the same, only slightly different...Director Quale and scriptwriter Eric Heisserer revitalize the 11-year-old series with crafty fake-outs, unsettling surprises, and genuine suspense while setting up the interlocking happenstances that lead to violent demises. In a perfect world, this sequel's ingeniously nasty and darkly ironic payoff would provide suitable closure for the entire franchise."
