The Big Sick
The sincerity of the tale and the unexpected success of Nanjiani as the male lead make The Big Sick tantalizing and infectiously (pun intended) appealing. In a world full of explosions and car chases, this movie offers something different and executes it nicely.

Absolutely Anything
With a terrific cast and one of the Monty Python writers penning the script for Absolutely Anything, I had hopes for something really fun. Unfortunately, I got mildly entertaining fare for an hour and a half.
The Belko Experiment
While The Belko Experiment will never be anything more than a cult classic film it provides a nice escape for its runtime of 88 minutes. James Gunn and director Greg McLean have created a fun film that anyone who works in the corporate world should see at least once in their life.
Spider-Man: Homecoming
With the young cast Spider-Man: Homecoming, it is certainly geared to appeal to a tween/teen audience... Perhaps Marvel is finally trying to lighten things up a bit and if so, this was a good start and paves the way to an already announced sequel.
Despicable Me 3
Despicable Me 3 has a lot going for it yet, somehow, it just doesn’t have the same feel as the first two films and drags a little.
Money
As it made its way around the film festival circuit last year, Money garnered well-deserved praise and award nominations. It was a terrific film that deserves watching.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
While technically Dawn of the Planet of The Apes is a perfect movie, it still has its flaws, but, with saying that, it is still an amazing sequel.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
The 4K offers a unique viewing experience that, in this case, is well worth it and any Planet of the Apes fan will not only want to get this combo pack but its sequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, as well.
The Unholy
Vestron Video Collector’s Series, in my opinion, is a hit. They continue to release movies from their archives, packed with a ton of extras, too.
CHiPs
The basic concepts of the show are still there, but that is about it. CHiPs is raw and action packed and wears it’s R-rated badge with pride.
