My Darling Clementine
Wyatt Earp and his brothers Morgan and Virgil ride into Tombstone and leave brother James in charge of their cattle herd. On their return they find their cattle stolen and James dead. Wyatt takes on the job of town marshal, making his brothers deputies, and vows to stay in Tombstone until James' killers are found. He soon runs into the brooding, coughing, hard-drinking Doc Holliday as well as the sullen and vicious Clanton clan. Wyatt discovers the owner of a trinket stolen from James' dead body and the stage is set for the Earps' long-awaited revenge.
Boasting a Tomatometer Score of 100 percent and an Audience Score of 85 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, this old-school film is a critical darling. Time Out's Joshua Rothkopf said, "If ever there was a gateway drug to the happy addiction of Hollywood oaters, this is it," while Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times noted, "'My Darling Clementine' must be one of the sweetest and most good-hearted of all Westerns."

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

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

How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
As Hiccup fulfills his dream of creating a peaceful dragon utopia, Toothless’ discovery of an untamed, elusive mate draws the Night Fury away. When danger mounts at home and Hiccup’s reign as village chief is tested, both dragon and rider must make impossible decisions to save their kind.
With a Tomatometer Score of 92 percent and an Audience Score of 89 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World" has garnered plenty of praise since its release on Feb. 22. "So much of 'The Hidden World' is stuffed with filler material. But in certain wordless moments, this grand final entry really sings," noted David Sims of The Atlantic, while the New York Post's Johnny Oleksinski said, "The movie could easily be called 'How To End Your Trilogy.'"
Catch it on the big screen at Cross County Multiplex Cinemas (2 South Drive) through Wednesday, March 13; Showcase Cinema de Lux Ridge Hill (59 Fitzgerald St.) through Wednesday, March 13; and Alamo Drafthouse Yonkers (2548 Central Park Ave.) through Thursday, March 14.

The Hole in the Ground
Trying to escape her broken past, Sarah O’Neill is building a new life on the fringes of a backwood rural town with her young son Chris. A terrifying encounter with a mysterious neighbor shatters her fragile security, throwing Sarah into a spiraling nightmare of paranoia and mistrust, as she tries to uncover if the disturbing changes in her little boy are connected to an ominous sinkhole buried deep in the forest that borders their home.
With a Tomatometer Score of 89 percent and an Audience Score of 56 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "The Hole in the Ground" has been getting attention since its release on March 1. Entertainment Weekly's Dana Schwartz said, "'The Hole in the Ground' never seeks to differentiate itself from the established horror movie aesthetic: we get creepy jangling lullaby music, a decrepit old-hooded women mumbling to herself ominously, bare feet on creaking wooden floors, broken mirrors," and the Los Angeles Times's Noel Murray said, "This is an impressive feature debut for a filmmaker with more in mind than just monsters and jump-scares."

Green Book
Tony Lip, a bouncer in 1962, is hired to drive pianist Don Shirley on a tour through the Deep South in the days when African Americans, forced to find alternate accommodations and services due to segregation laws below the Mason-Dixon Line, relied on a guide called The Negro Motorist Green Book.
With a Tomatometer Score of 78 percent and an Audience Score of 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Green Book" is well worth a watch. The Atlantic's Christopher Orr said, "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," while Joshua Rothkopf of Time Out 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)."
