Transformers One

The Killer's Game
Is The Killer's Game fun? Yes. Is it cute? Yes. Is it a movie we NEED? Not by a long shot.
Inside Out 2
With smart writing and a talented cast, Inside Out 2 captivates audiences, delivering a successful and heartfelt sequel.
A League of Their Own
Part of what makes A League of Their Own work is the wonderful cast led by Oscar-winner Hanks and the talented Davis.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Despite a stellar cast led by Michael Keaton and Wynona Ryder, the sequel falls flat, failing to recapture the charm and originality of the 1988 classic.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes
This time around the plot seems somewhat recycled and didn't grab my interest easily though I did enjoy Owen Teague and his interactions with Freya Allan.
Blink Twice
The location shoot in Mexico lends itself to both the opulent lifestyle and the secluded creepiness feel of a horror movie.
Gunner
Gunner is the type of movie that lacks imagination as the plot is recycled, the music is off the mark and many of the performances are simply mediocre.
My Penguin Friend
My Penguin Friend is a family-friendly, old-fashioned, heart-warming tale that is certain to please audiences of all ages while offering a lesson about nature.
