The Diary of a Teenage Girl
Diary of a Teenage Girl is certainly an in your face, realistic view of the world of a teenage girl and Powley plays her beautifully.  Her balancing act between innocence and maturity seems genuine and engages the audience to join her on her journey.

Ride Along 2
If you take Ride Along 2 for what it is…a fun non-thinking every-man's movie, it isn’t terrible.  The plot is thin and recycled and the acting is less than Oscar worthy, but there are a few laughs that make the movie watchable.

The Martian
There is so much The Martian does right it’s no wonder it is a possible Oscar contender.

The Transporter: Refueled
Sadly, sitting through Transporter: Refueled to the end was a painful experience. The story is boring, the acting is mediocre for the most part, and the fight scenes are ridiculously unrealistic.

Concussion
Will Smith is fantastic as Omalu, transforming himself into the soft-spoken, egotistical, yet vigilant, Doctor.  His performance is excellent as he morphs into the Nigerian who simply wants to do what is right.

Daddy's Home
Will Ferrell's latest endeavor, Daddy’s Home, is more of the same mind numbing antics we have come to expect from him.  I can only hope at some point someone has the common sense to stop hiring him.

Pan
Presented in 1080p high definition video, the picture is very impressive with fantastic colors and extremely clear images.  The 3D version of the film pops off the screen and add great depth to the presentation of the film.

The Hateful Eight
I can’t decide if Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction) is incredibly brilliant or deeply disturbed; probably some combination of both.

Sisters
From driving techno beats to old school ‘80s songs, the music is a great-added element and helps get the audience in a party mood.
