Here are the 5 new releases:
Movie: Only the Brave
Our rating: 4/5
Short review: Only the Brave tells a true story through breath-taking cinematography, an extremely well-written script and a dedicated cast.
Movie: Wind River
Our rating: 4/5
Short review: A few serious flaws aside, Wind River is a strong conclusion to the thematic trilogy that started with Sicario and reached its high point in Hell or High Water.
Movie: Flatliners
Our rating: 1/5
Short review: The remake of Flatliners is every bit as bad as the original.
Movie: From a House on Willow Street
Our rating: 2/5
Short review: This horror filmed in South Africa has enough jump scares and gore to keep you entertained.
Movie: The Meyerowitz Stories (New on Netflix only)
Our rating: 4/5
Short review: The Meyerowitz Stories is a happy reminder that, when graced with a fine script and director, an actor can be just as surprising as the character he plays.
