Early Man
Early Man is encoded with Dolby Atmos and, if you have a surround sound system, you can definitely hear the difference.

Red Sparrow
Theatrically there is style sewn throughout Red Sparrow, but at times, it simply needed more.

The Matrix
With the addition of the 4K quality, The Matrix is once again an experience everyone should have at least once.

Solo: A Star Wars Story
As a standalone film, Solo: A Star Wars Story has a good plot, interesting characters, and well-done action scenes.  As part of the classic franchise, it comes across a little disjointed and disconnected.

Measure of a Man
While occasionally difficult to watch the movie overall entertaining and reminds the audience to never settle and always be their best selves.

RBG
If you know little about this short in stature judicial powerhouse I suggest you spend the almost hour and forty minutes of the documentary learning who she is personally and professionally.

Source Code
The cast of Source Code ​​​​​​​ is terrific and the plot movies along nicely keeping the audience focused and engaged.  As movies go you could do far worse and I suspect this is one film that changes with each viewing as I’m sure there are more details you notice each time.
