Patience-trying follow-up to the 2017 adaptation of horror maven Stephen King's novel jumps ahead almost three decades from the late-Eighties action of the original and unleashes the cyclically returning evil that has long beset the fictional town of Derry, New Hampshire. This becomes the cue for a reunion of the self-dubbed Losers Club (most prominently James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain and Bill Hader), a group who, as children, battled the malevolent force principally embodied -- then and now -- by a demonic clown (Bill Skarsgard).

Patchy drama in which both the adolescence (Oakes Fegley) and the adulthood (Ansel Elgort) of an antiques dealer are overshadowed by his mother's tragic death in the bombing of New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art in the immediate aftermath of which he rescued the 17th-century Dutch masterpiece of the title from the rubble, subsequently concealing his possession of it for years.

Endearing sports drama about a wounded Afghan War vet (Michael Roark) who risks being permanently crippled in order to return to the motocross track, where his pre-deployment reputation was impressive, and win prize money to save his father's (Trace Adkins) failing farm.

After his niece (Storm Reid), with whom he shared a close relationship, is murdered, a police detective (David Oyelowo) is startled to receive a series of phone calls from her. Eventually piecing together the fact that she is communicating with him from a different time period -- two weeks before her death -- he works with her to prevent the fatal crime from ever taking place.
