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.
The Choice
Granted, The Choice won’t be winning any Oscars, but in terms of a decent movie with that typical Sparks flair for telling a love story and making us cry, it hits its mark.
Hail, Caesar!
I spent almost two hours trying to figure out what this Hail, Caesar! was about. Was it a farce? Was it wry look at the 1950s movie business and the studio system? Was it a commentary on Communism and McCarthyism? I’m still not sure, and walked away confused and befuddled.
Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs Signature Edition
Disney is offering the Signature Edition. While the beloved story hasn't changed, some of the special features are different on this release.
Our Brand Is Crisis
As far as political movies go, Our Brand is Crisis sadly doesn’t make the statement it had the potential to make.
