Truman (out Aug 11) is one of the best films I've seen that covers the subject of death. It follows a man dying of terminal cancer who spends 4 days catching up with a old friend. Ricardo Darín and Javier Cámara and it's easy to see why this emotional piece won the Goya Award (the Spanish Oscars) for best picture. Grade: A.

Sausage Party (out Aug 11) doesn't have enough material to last 90 minutes but it's still a witty comedy that uses talking food as a metaphor for religion (you'll know what I mean once you've seen it). A rare animated feature for adults only, it also features one of cinema's most creative sex scenes. Grade: B+.

Bad Moms (out Aug 11) is shoving its simplistic message a little too hard but the comedic chemistry between Mila Kunis, Kathryn Hahn and Kristen Bell provided some of the best laughs I've had all year. It's the tale of 3 mothers who aren't afraid to admit that they're not perfect. Grade: A-.

Down Under (out Aug 11) is a dark comedy set around the 2005 Cronulla riots that follows two groups on a collision course. I was worried during the early stages (a few too many laughs) but the ending packs a strong emotional bunch and asks us to take a good, hard look at ourselves. Grade: B+.

Embrace (out Aug 4) is a discussion-generating documentary that looks at the increasing pressure on today's females to conform to a certain body type. It would have been nice to see someone try to defend the opposing view (not that I'm saying I'd agree with them) but there's still a good mix of interviewees who all have something to offer. Grade: B+.

Suicide Squad (out Aug 4) is a tiring film that is low on laughs and high on confusion. It offers some great performances with Will Smith and Australian Margo Robbie getting the most screen time and the best of the one-liners. Unfortunately, the broad premise is weak and the keynote villain couldn't be any less interesting. Grade: C+.

As It Is In Heaven 2: Heaven On Earth (out Aug 4) is a disappointing sequel to the popular Swedish film from 2004. Following the death of the town's popular choir conductor, Lena tries to carry on the tradition and bring music into everyone's lives. Grade: C+.

Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie (out Aug 4) is based on the successful TV series and follows two party-loving, cocaine-snorting, chain-smoking women in search of fame and fortune. Fans of the show will enjoy catching up with the eccentric characters. Others may be left scratching their head and wondering if this is the female equivalent of a Hunter S. Thompson novel. Grade: C+.

A Hologram For The King (out Jul 28) is a strange, unfulfilling drama about a struggling IT salesman (Tom Hanks) to travels to Saudi Arabia to complete a career-saving business deal. We're given brief glimpses into his past to help build a necessary backstory but they don't offer much. Grade: C.

Jason Bourne (out Jul 28) is the 5th film in the long-running franchise. Director Paul Greengrass uses exciting, elaborate chase sequences to compensate for the weak, not-so-interesting narrative. Many sequences will provide adrenalin to action junkies but the cyborg-like Bourne, void of any weaknesses, is becoming a tired character. Grade: B-.
