Wonder

Feb 13, 2018

At a time in our lives when bullying is so prevalent and not tolerated and inclusion is the word of the day, it seems Palacio’s novel and the subsequent film ring true. Wonder is a feel-good movie with a deeper message that stars a great cast.

Elgort is an immensely talented actor so his portrayal of the hormonal/distraught Addison is very well done. Factoring in his “baby face” looks into the equation and he gives the character a certain naiveté that helps make his performance believable.

12 Strong

12 Strong kept my attention and gave me new insight into what our military was involved in overseas after 9/11. While some will say it “glamorizes” war, it is nonetheless entertaining and informative.
