Point Break
From the beautiful snow covered mountains to the magnificent waters of the Angel Falls in Brazil, every destination is more breathtaking than the next. At least Point Break is visually stunning if nothing else.
The Americans: Season 3
The entire cast is excellent as they portray a very real time in American history. Kerri Russell is certainly the stand out of the show.
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice lacks is excitement. It has plenty of fighting scenes but no real urgency to add suspense.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
Part of what makes My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 so much fun is the cast. From Vardalos to Corbett and Constantine, Kazan, and every one in between, the comedic timing is spot on and serious delivery of such obviously hilarious dialogue is terrific.
Allegiant
Allegiant is beginning to suffer the same fate as another recent book trilogy turned movie series, in that it has lost some of the original appeal and has gotten boring.
Victor Frankenstein
With a terrific cast and a unique perspective on the story, Victor Frankenstein had so much potential. Sadly, it simply falls flat.
Peanuts
Every Peanuts character is there with their famous quotes and the classic theme song and I was immediately transported back to my childhood.
10 Cloverfield Lane
10 Cloverfield Lane has a good, solid script, a great cast – with early Oscar buzz for Goodman – and enough suspense to keep audiences waiting to see what happens next.
