The Huntsman: Winter's War
Cedric Nicolas-Troyan, the director, makes a wonderful transition from the prequel of Snow White to the sequel without dwelling on the first story much.

The Complete Second Season
What makes Gotham so great is it’s writing and how well they are able to create in-depth storylines with so many characters.
Ben-Hur
Then, there are the action scenes. Intense. At times, gruesomely violent almost to the point of caricature, but Timur Bekmambetov pulls back just in time.
War Dogs
Director Todd Phillips graduates from schtick comedy to more serious subject matter with this film but still manages to interject moments of “slapstick” that remind you of his previous success.
The Complete First Season
DC may have found their strong point in television verses Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. The CW is telling the DC storylines, in great depth, on a weekly basis.
11.22.63
The premise of 11.22.63 is great and interesting, and while the material is too long for a feature film, it is too short for an 8-hour mini-series.
Pete's Dragon
Pete's Dragon itself is dark, depressing and not suitable for its intended audience –families with young children.
Hell or High Water
I’m not sure Jeff Bridges makes a bad film anymore, but if he does, he is usually the bright spot. True to form, he plays his character well.
Florence Foster Jenkins
Simon Helberg is masterful at displaying emotion without saying a word and stands toe to toe with these screen giants in every scene.
