  2023. PG. 90 mins. Directed by Phil Traill In 1997, Nickelodeon decided to try out a sketch from their hit TV show, All That , as a full-length movie. While Good Burger didn't make much noise at the box office it has gone on to become a cult classic among kids that were born in the 90's. Now, 26 years later, Paramount brings back Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell as their lovable characters Dexter and Ed as they set off on a new adventure in Good Burger 2 .

2023. PG-13. 109 mins. Directed by Emma Tammi Video game movies continue to be an interesting subgenre. It is not an easy task turning a game into a movie and over the years it's been easy to see why. Outside of a couple movies there really aren't many most audiences would consider to be good. While the ambition is typically there, more often they tend to fall shy of the potential set forth by the game.
