Booksmart
Two academic teenage superstars realize, on the eve of their high school graduation, that they should have worked less and played more. Determined to never fall short of their peers, the girls set out on a mission to cram four years of fun into one night.
With a Tomatometer Score of 98 percent and an Audience Score of 75 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Booksmart" has been a must-watch since its release on May 24. Salon's Erin Keane said, "Booksmart puts a fresh spin on the coming-of-age night-of comedy because it's focused on two girls, one of whom is also queer," while Chandler Levack of the Globe and Mail noted, "Booksmart is a love letter for any young woman who has ever stayed home on a Friday night to watch a Ken Burns documentary."

Avengers: Endgame
After the devastating events of "Avengers: Infinity War," the universe is in ruins due to the efforts of the Mad Titan, Thanos.

With a Tomatometer Score of 94 percent and an Audience Score of 75 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Avengers: Endgame" has become a favorite since its release on April 26. The San Diego Reader's Matthew Lickona said, "The MCU will go on and on, but this chapter — and the American pragmatism vs. American ideals bromance that drove it — have well and truly come to their 'Excelsior! Nuff said!' moment."
It's playing at AMC Palace 9 (220 E. Third St.), AMC Eastchase 9 (8301 Ederville Road) and AMC Clearfork 8 (5015 Trailhead Bend Way) through Wednesday, June 5. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

Released on Friday, May 31, "Rocketman" already has a Tomatometer Score of 89 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
"The young, gay, conflicted and addicted Elton John is brought to life by an electrifying, Oscar-caliber Taron Egerton and Dexter Fletcher's dazzling cinematic inventiveness. Forget the cliches, this one you don't want to miss," noted Peter Travers of Rolling Stone.
