With a Tomatometer Score of 97 percent and an Audience Score of 94 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" has gotten stellar reviews since its release in December of 2018. The New York Times' Lawrence Ware said, "This film manages the delicate feat of embracing its source material while also satirizing it," while David Sims of the Atlantic noted, "The latest entry in a fully saturated genre that somehow, through sheer creative gumption, does something new."

Catch it on the big screen at AMC Bay Street 16 (5614 Bay St., Suite 220) through Thursday, March 7. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

With a Tomatometer Score of 92 percent and an Audience Score of 94 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World" has become a favorite since its release on February 22. "The movie could easily be called 'How To End Your Trilogy,'" according to Johnny Oleksinski of the New York Post, while New York Magazine/Vulture's David Edelstein said, "For some, it'll be a moving conclusion to an epic series. For others, it'll be one less kids' franchise to worry about."

It's screening at AMC Bay Street 16 (5614 Bay St., Suite 220) through Friday, March 8. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

With a Tomatometer Score of 79 percent and an Audience Score of 93 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Green Book" is well worth a watch. "First-rate execution can't solve all of a film's problems, but Mortensen and Ali offer a reminder that it can solve an awful lot of them," noted Christopher Orr of the Atlantic, while Time Out's Joshua Rothkopf said, "Call this actors' duet sentimental and simplistic at your own peril. 'Green Book' may well move you, possibly to tears, at the thought of real social change and kindness (at a time when we need it badly)."

Sort of."
