John Wick
Director Chad Stahelski does a terrific job balancing plot with action and the stunt coordinators should be commended for some really great sequences.
The Space Between Us
If you are a hormonal, romantic, teenage girl with a crush on Butterfield, you will want to buy a ticket to this film.
Masterminds
Galifianakis is an interesting choice to play David because he portrays the real life bank robber as a somewhat naïve, goofy guy and yet the real David doesn’t seem to be that way at all.
Pinocchio
Pinocchio's nostalgia will make any fan relive the moment when they first saw the movie and it gives parents the opportunity to share the experience with their kids.
Queen of Katwe
Oyelowo does a wonderful job of bringing this real-life mentor to the big screen, adopting his speech patterns and mannerisms beautifully.
Split
McAvoy is masterful in his role as he takes on nine different characters all rolled into one heaping mess of a human being.
Birth of a Natiaon
The Birth of a Nation takes an often depicted topic and gives it a slightly different slant than we are used to seeing.
Keeping Up With The Joneses
Fischer, Hamm and Gadot are perfect for their roles, as is Galifianakis, but he lacks some believability as being 'mild-mannered'.
