Glory 35th Anniversary SteelBook
Even though Glory still isn't a completely accurate depiction of Shaw or his troops during the Civil War, it has some great scenes and shots throughout.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die
The humor-to-action ratio seems to be askew making Bad Boys: Ride or Die enjoyable and on the one hand yet possibly alienating its core audience who loved the action in the first two films.
The Acolyte
The basic themes of The Acolyte have their origins in the Star Wars world, but it is definitely its own entity.
Kung Fu Panda 4
Led by the very talented Black, who has made the lovable Po his own over the past decade and a half, the cast is still at the top of their game.
The First Omen
The First Omen's Nell Tiger Free is well cast as Margaret. She plays the role well and her acting during her “pregnancy” and birth scenes is excellent.
Young Woman and the Sea
Young Woman and the Sea, based on real events, keeps you engaged with Rønning's delivery, Ridley's acting, and Warner's score, making it a must-watch.
American Hustle 10 Year Anniversary Steelbook
From acting to directing and costumes to sets, American Hustle offers the total package as far as filmmaking goes.
Bob Marley: One Love Steelbook
Ben-Adir does a very good job portraying the musical genius but one of the things the movie punctuates is that no one can replace Bob Marley.
The Garfield Movie
Mark Dindal's direction brings wit and heart to The Garfield Movie, making it a family-friendly hit.
