The Huntsman: Winter's War (out Apr 7) is an action sequel that struggles to generate any excitement from its poorly conceived premise. Grade: C.

The Jungle Book (out Apr 7) is a delightful live-action family flick based on the works of Rudyard Kipling. A young boy is raised by a pack of wolves and must protect himself from a villainous lion. The characters are cute, the story is easy to follow, and it covers a great mix of genres. Grade: A-.

Sherpa (out Apr 7) is an Australian documentary that looks at a tragic event that took place on Mount Everest in 2014 and the impact it had on the local sherpas. The portrayal of some Western climbers is too flattering but this is still an eye-opener that highlights levels of inequality that exist in the world. Grade: B.

Rams (out Apr 7) is an Icelandic film about sheep herders battling disease. It may sound like the last movie you'd want to see but it's actually a heartfelt tale about the connection between man and animal. Sigurður Sigurjónsson gives a beautiful performance in the leading role. Grade: B+.

Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice (out Mar 24) is a puzzling mess of a film. Superman saved the planet in Man of Steel but a forlorn Batman sees him as a threat? It's really hard to buy into. Jesse Eisenberg is a cool villain but it's a shame he plays second fiddle to the dull battle between the two superheroes. Grade: C+.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 (out Mar 24) is repeating the same jokes again and again but it has an underlying charm and spirit that is hard to dislike. This time around, the wedding is between Toula's parents who discover their marriage licence was never signed. Grade: B-.

Eye In The Sky (out Mar 24) is a tense thriller with a splash of comedy (resembling The Thick Of It). It's centered on a military team seeking approval to bomb a building in Kenya that is housing several terrorists. The focus is narrow but it highlights the strong political motivations that underlie many decisions in war. Grade: B.

A Bigger Splash (out Mar 24) is about four people (Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton, Dakota Johnson, Matthias Schoenaerts) caught up in a messy love quadrangle on a small Italian island. Flashbacks hinder the narrative but the performances are terrific. You’re never quite sure which characters have the upper hand. Grade: B.

The Witch (out Mar 17) is a creepy supernatural thriller set in the 17th Century. It's a touch slow to start but it avoids cheap scares, it's strong on character development, and it builds to an intriguing finale. Grade: B+.

London Has Fallen (out Mar 17) is the follow up to Olympus Has Fallen and again follows a Secret Service agent (Gerard Butler) trying to save the President of the United States. There are too many characters and the premise is farcical. A few decent action pieces are the only positive. Grade: C+.
