Halloween (1978) 97% EDIT “There's nothing like Carpenter's original...” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Halloween II (1981) 36% EDIT “Curtis and Donald Pleasence reuniting at the end always fills me with joy, as does the explosive final scene that feels so beautifully definitive.” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) 41% EDIT “Sure, the mask doesn’t look great, and some of the supporting characters are pretty one-note, but Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers remains one of the finest of the franchise’s many sequels, a nostalgic classic that will never get old.” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998) 54% EDIT “Honestly, when it comes to the sequels, I prefer Laurie being Michael’s sister because it raises the stakes and heightens the emotion, especially when her life is on the line.” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Halloween Kills (2021) 38% EDIT “...it also does a lot really well, and in many ways this is the most gloriously ambitious of all the sequels...” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Halloween (2018) 79% EDIT “Ultimately the great attention paid to artistry and atmosphere can’t be denied.” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) 48% EDIT “Lee Wallace’s directorial debut has some effective atmosphere, a solid cast led by the great Tom Atkins, and a fantastic final scene, but it’s also overlong and too slow at times.” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) 8% EDIT “Here’s an installment in the Halloween franchise with two vastly different versions—and they’re both bad.” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Halloween: Resurrection (2002) 10% EDIT “Here’s another entry that can be completely wiped from existence, and everybody would be better off.” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989) 11% EDIT “The ending of Halloween 4 is a chilling classic scene in the franchise that gets a severely underwhelming payoff in this fifth installment.” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Finch (2021) 74% B+ EDIT “Hanks proves once again why he has a tremendous eye for material, and why he is simply one of the best in the business.” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Scream (2022) 76% C+ EDIT “...like with almost every other reboot I’ve seen in the last few years, I wanted it to be so much more. It’s a passably entertaining but also constantly frustrating revisit to a franchise I adore...” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review The Unforgivable (2021) 38% B+ EDIT “This story of redemption, pain and regret could have been a maudlin slog with a lesser actress inhabiting Ruth Slater, but in the hands of Bullock, it’s simply a must-see.” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Turbulence (1997) 14% EDIT “She’s better than Liotta, her character at least consistent and competent and up to the task of saving the day, but there’s an unfortunate flatness to her character throughout that gives Holly little room to play.” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Better Nate Than Ever (2022) 83% B EDIT “It’s a breezy romp that many viewers likely will enjoy in the moment, but those kids who Federle made this movie for, who he wanted to celebrate both in his novel and in this movie? They’re going to cherish every single minute.” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Selena (1997) 67% EDIT “Jennifer Lopez is a revelation in the film...” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Vegas Vacation (1997) 15% EDIT “Pleasant enough to play in the background of your living room while you’re busy doing other things, but this movie is a mostly forgettable trifle that, at best, simply reminds you of all the better films worth watching in the franchise. ” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (1997) 75% EDIT “Along with the fantastic screenplay by Robin Schiff, Mirkin’s direction, and the extraordinary cast, the music plays a huge part in my love for this film. ” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) 57% EDIT “A film that has its moments, which includes some terrific action and visual effects, but overall remains one of Steven Spielberg's most disappointing and disposable entertainments in a mostly impressive career. ” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review In & Out (1997) 74% EDIT “It’s not anywhere near perfect, but there’s still a lot to like about In and Out...” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Mimic (1997) 67% EDIT “A rare del Toro misfire...” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Bullet Train (2022) 52% C+ EDIT “Bullet Train is a mixed bag, worth seeing for action fans, but maybe at a matinee screening or when it hits VOD. There’s a tighter and better 100-minute movie in that 126-minute high-energy extravaganza...” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Air Force One (1997) 78% EDIT “An entertaining thrill ride...” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review Face/Off (1997) 93% EDIT “The movie more than just pure spectacle, the tremendous cast and engaging story putting Face/Off a couple of notches above your typical 1990s action fare.” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) 90% EDIT “Its incredible craftsmanship and rock-solid performances, as well as a moving ending, make this one of the finest films of 2022. ” – InSession Film May 3, 2023 Full Review
