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.
Zootopia
As with most Disney film the cast is terrific and Goodwin and Bateman play off each other like a well oiled machine.
London Has Fallen
Reprising his role as Banning, Butler was a strong casting choice in the first film, and he continues his tough guy, “take no prisoners” persona in this one as well.
Gods of Egypt
In a time of remakes and sequels, Gods of Egypt attempts to bring something fresh to the theaters.
The 33
For 69 days, the world watched as drills frantically tried to free 33 miners trapped in the refuge 200 stories below the surface. Running out of food and water, it seemed hopeless.
Steve Jobs
The cast is phenomenal and I am not surprised by the Oscar nominations for Fassbender and Kate Winslet (Titanic), who plays Joanna Hoffman, Jobs’ Polish born right hand person.
How To Be Single
If you do decide to see How to Be Single, don’t expect much. It isn’t very funny. Johnson plays almost the same character as she did in Fifty Shades of Grey while Wilson is “Fat Amy”, only in a different setting.
Spectre
Of the six men who have portrayed the famous spy, some would argue that Craig is the best Bond yet. He certainly is different than we have seen in the past.
Deadpool
This is certainly not the typical Marvel/DC comic fare we’ve seen of late. Much like its main character, Deadpool sets itself apart from the rest.
