"Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" has injected the franchise with a new purpose and zest that portends perhaps even better entries to come in the future.

Not only is "Dune: Part Two" even more compelling and beautiful than the first installment, it also makes the third film in the series a must-see event.

Yorgos Lantimos' "Poor Things" is a funny, original and gorgeously filmed steampunk fantasy that gives Emma Stone one of the best showcases of her career.
