Tenet
It is very hard for a film to succeed in every possible aspect of storytelling, but Tenet provides that for the viewer.

Terminator: Dark Fate
Terminator: Dark Fate is simply amazing. One of the best action films of the decade. A film that all disappointed Terminator fans can be happy with again, and truly closes the story of Skynet.

Disneynature Penguins
Disneynature Penguins has heart and will make you see penguins (and the name Steve) in an entirely new light. You can safely take the entire family knowing that it is not only appropriate for all ages but will entertain everyone equally.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
With so much “Oscar bait” clogging up this holiday season Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle is a refreshing comedic/action bright spot in an otherwise drama-filled fare.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Rian Johnson has created an amazing film in the Star Wars saga with The Last Jedi. While certainly not the best in the series, it is certainly not the worst. One can only wait and see if J.J. Abrams can wrap up all the unanswered questions in the final film in this trilogy in 2019.

Aftermath
While not being one of Schwarzenegger's best roles, the film shows that there is more to "The Terminator" than just muscles and one-liners.

John Wick, Chapter 2
Make no mistake about it John Wick: Chapter 2 has all the carnage of the original, and if that is all you are going for you will not be disappointed.

Pride, Prejudice and Zombies
The studio directive of keeping Pride, Prejudice and Zombies PG-13/kid friendly, as well as the sloppy editing of Padraic McKinley, will certainly contribute to this film not becoming a cult hit.
