Megan Leavey
Much as she has done in her documentaries, Cowperthwaite captures her subject(s) sincerely and honestly; such that it naturally diverges into other matters.
Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman opens the door for exciting new adventures from a balanced, powerful hero that will, hopefully, continue to receive the consideration and storylines offered to counterparts outside of ensemble vehicles. And, the invisible jet! The invisible jet, too!
Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales
I recommend enduring the lengthy credit roll as there is a surprise with which you will be rewarded! That said, two more mentions...Sir Paul McCartney appears ever so briefly as Jack’s Uncle Jack. Brief, but brilliant. Golshifteh Farahani is breathtaking.
Baywatch
In addition to the sentimental sap, the upending uproar, and...hot bodies, this film packs some seriously, outrageously, over the top, spectacular action. Sure, it’s ridiculous. Isn’t most action these days? It’s also engaging, exhilarating, all-encompassing action.
Everything, Everything
An innocence absent of complete naivete on the part of Maddy and Olly is guided by exceptional supporting performances and a synergy amongst the extended cast in Everything, Everything
Fifty Shades Darker
If you’ve read the books and/or seen the movies you may decide to add this to your Blu-ray collection. If you just want a simmering introduction to the Dominant/Submissive world then, by all means, watch both the first movie and this second installment.
The Lost City of Z
James Gray has paced this film such as to allow the audience the time to truly understand the varying layers and perspectives.
The Boss Baby
Director Tom McGrath blends 2D animation elements spanning the 60s, 70s, and 80s to create the essence of childhood fantasy, and entertainingly intertwines them with the photo realism of today’s animation.
