Eternity (out Dec 4) is a playful, entertaining ride centred on a thought-provoking situation. A woman has passed away after a long, rich, fulfilling life and must decide which of her two deceased husbands she wants to spend eternity with. It’s a fun riff on the traditional romantic comedy genre with great supporting characters. Grade: B+.

A Little Women's Christmas (out Dec 4) is a modern-day remake of the classic novel. Much has been changed, and this adaptation was way too schmaltzy and cheesy for me. Clichés galore! Grade: C.

Nuremberg (out Dec 4) is centred around the Nuremberg trials which put Nazi leaders on trial in the aftermath of World War II. The material never gels. The dialogue is silly, Russell Crowe makes Hermann Göring looks like a cheesy action movie villain, and odd subplots (an interlude with the pope?!?) are a distraction. Grade: C+.

Twiggy (out Dec 4) is an interesting documentary about the English supermodel who rose to fame in the 1960s and sustained a diverse career. Features great interviews and clips. Grade: B+.

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (out Nov 27) is too long but, thanks to its fun performances, there's enough to justify a watch. Daniel Craig reprises his role as Benoit Blanc, a private investigator trying to understand a complicated murder. Grade: B.

Zootopia 2 (out Nov 27) proves this franchise will not be a "one-hit wonder". It's a fun, meaningful animated feature with a great central mystery, memorable characters (loved Ke Huy Quan as the snake), well-intentioned messages, and a sufficient dose of emotion. Grade: A-.

Dead of Winter (out Nov 27) is contrived but, as a fan of Emma Thompson, it's nice to see her as a quasi-action hero. She plays a widowed woman who reluctantly finds herself rescuing a kidnapped girl from a remote, snow-covered cabin. Grade: B-.

Christmas Karma (out Nov 27) is a modern-day adaptation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. It's well-intentioned but it's also forced and over acted. With respect to the character, nuance is non-existent. Grade: C.

Lurker (out Nov 27) is an engaging thriller about authority, friendship and fandom. It reminded me of The Talented Mr. Ripley in that it's about a young man who weaves his way into the life of a person he admires. First time filmmaker Alex Russell shows he has a knack for establishing tone (it's wonderfully creepy in places) and finding a great cast. Grade: B+.

Jay Kelly (out Nov 20) is a disappointing drama which stars George Clooney as a big-name movie star reflecting on his career. It's the same theme for 2 hours (balancing work and family) and I don't think it provides enough to reflect upon. Grade: C+.
