Can't Hardly Wait
Can't Hardly Wait is the typical fare for 1990s teen movies and it is entertaining without going too far overboard.
Richard Pryor: Live on the Sunset Strip
When you watch Pryor doing what he does best, you can't help but notice his impeccable timing and delivery.
Inside Out 2
With smart writing and a talented cast, Inside Out 2 captivates audiences, delivering a successful and heartfelt sequel.
A League of Their Own
Part of what makes A League of Their Own work is the wonderful cast led by Oscar-winner Hanks and the talented Davis.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
This time around the plot seems somewhat recycled and didn't grab my interest easily though I did enjoy Owen Teague and his interactions with Freya Allan.
IF
IF is one movie that has a terrific cast from Fleming to Reynolds and all the cameos who voice the IFs
The Bikeriders
The Bikeriders isn't a bad film, but it falls short of its potential, which I attribute mainly to writer/director Jeff Nichols.
The Lady from Shanghai
Welles and Hayworth's undeniable chemistry beautifully anchors The Lady From Shanghai, making it a must-watch classic.
Run Lola Run
Run Lola Run is a thinker worthy of discussion and dissection in film classes everywhere.
