"The fall movie season is around the corner, meaning an increase in releases at the multiplex that are more dramatic as studios and distributors try to build up award-season buzz.

That said, there will still be plenty of must-see releases like "It: Chapter Two," the Will Smith action movie "Gemini Man," and end-of-the year titles like "Frozen 2" and "Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker."

These are all things the industry is happy to see. Hollywood is hoping for a strong second half at the box office to close out 2019, since the summer movie season didn't pack as big a punch as 2018.

From "Joker" and "The Irishman," to "Jumanji: The Next Level" and "Cats," here are 36 movies that will be worth your time coming out in the fall and beyond:"

Might be a modest chance of something quasi-original amongst the originals, but I don't care anything about the umpteenth reboots and sequels or "next chapter in _X_ franchise". That stuff can wait to be indirectly heard on television in the background, when somebody else happens to be watching "Jumanji:the Next Level" or "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” or "Charlie's Angels". Sheesh.

I hate endless franchises too. I've also grown tired of superhero movies. Alot of fighting and explosions but not much of a plot. I'm in the mood for really quirky indie films like Being John Malkovitch or The Lobster. Films that push the envelope on what can be written and made into a movie. May have to wait till winter though as the fall pickings look pretty slim for that genre.

Ad Astra may or may not be interesting. It's hard science fiction and doesn't seem to be a remake of anything or to be based on a comic book.

Apparently it's coming out this week at the Venice film festival and will open in US theaters in September.

"Gemini Man" looks pretty good.

I watched "The Lobster," and afterwards, I thought…WTF? Is everyone in the movie industry doing drugs or something? I had to do a little research to understand it and it does show how much pressure society puts on you to get married. 

So in real life we don’t have to have a defining characteristic. No one is going to turn is into an animal if we’re single.

But we can extrapolate. When you commit to a relationship, there’s always a cost. In most cases, this is a matter of losing a bit of your individuality. Instead of being a single entity, you’re now part of a couple. You can’t just move into whatever apartment you want. You have to consider how the move will affect the relationship. If the apartment you want is 30 minutes away from where your significant other lives…that could be a problem. If you want to live in the middle of downtown and they don’t…that could be a problem. You have to compromise.

But this can be bigger than compromise. If you love NYC but your significant other gets a job in San Francisco…do you move?

What if you go on a few dates with someone, are falling for them, then they tell you they have a child? Does that change things for you? Do you flinch? Or are you fine with it?

None of these things are as serious as having to blind yourself, but they are examples of the cost of a relationship.

Joker looks like it's going to be a horror movie without the supernatural, a comic-book movie without any special effects, an entirely psychological horror movie. (The exceedingly dark Batman material lends itself to that kind of treatment.)

I think that I might want to go see this one.

Two trailers.
