Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
The pairing of DiCaprio and Pitt is a dream acting team that only Tarantino could have pulled off this well.

Richard Jewell
Richard Jewell is a large pill to swallow with its dubious message. In the hands of a director with less political bias and a more objective viewpoint the film would probably have been much better.
Midway
MIDWAY is simply a great film experience. See it on the big screen or you’ll miss the sweep of its effects and 1940’s period grandeur.
The Current War
If you’re a ‘Turn of the Century’ history buff you might like this movie. I did not.
The Lion King
This version of The Lion King is one of those films that light up the cinematic universe. It's visual, it's musical, and tells a fable that in itself is just a gem; don't miss it.
Judy
Judy is a must-see for Zellweger's performance, which I’m sure well earn her an Oscar Nomination. I only wish the film was as good as she is, unfortunately, it’s not.
Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey is simply a great film experience. See it on the big screen or you’ll miss the sweep of its grandeur.
Ad Astra
Ad Astra's style with a lot of in-your-face close-ups, grainy texture, and sumptuous vistas is a lot different than any Space Opera we’ve seen to date and that alone makes it stand out.
Hustlers
Jennifer Lopez...she is simply dazzling and electrifying, you can’t take your eyes off of her.
The Peanut Butter Falcon
Peanut Butter Falcon is a little Indie gem of a film. I hope you go to see it, you'll fall in love with it. Don't let this one pass by.
