Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising
Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising has so many holes in it you could drive a Mack Truck though them but it’s meant to be a brainless comedy and it certainly achieves that goal.
The Nice Guys
While not as strong, or cohesive, as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Nice Guys is still a humorous film with a multi-layered plot underneath.
The Witch
As more of an intellectual horror film, The Witch made the audience think and interpret where the true evil comes from.
Joy
Jennifer Lawrence is as good as ever, and she and Bradley Cooper have a chemistry that makes them a formidable team.
Independence Day
For all its schmaltzy graphics, the Independence Day is beautifully presented in 1080p resolution that really makes the explosions fill the entire room.
Captain America: Civil War
Most diehard fans will find enough similarities between the comic books and the movie to feel satisfied that Marvel stayed true to the plot. Those that have never read the comic books but enjoyed the other superhero offerings won’t be disappointed by this latest installment.
The Revenant
If you missed all the hype, DiCaprio won his first Oscar for this role, so it’s safe to say he does an excellent job, especially because he spends much of The Revenant nonverbal.
Krampus
If you are a fan of the 80’s style of horror movies, then you will find some enjoyment from Krampus.
