Chaos Walking
There is a reason the movie is called Chaos Walking and the film lives up to its name.
Raya and the Last Dragon
Raya and the Last Dragon offers a terrific cast, a few laughs, beautiful visuals and audio, some action scenes, and a subconscious message of trust and inclusivity that will be enjoyed by audiences of any age.
Tom & Jerry
As a family-friendly movie, it gets high marks for making the plot fun for younger audiences while throwing in some private jokes for their parents.
Flora & Ulysses
Once your children watch Flora & Ulysses, they will be begging you for a poetry writing, superhero squirrel!
The Mauritanian
The star of this movie and the one who is a stand-out amongst these fine actors is Rahim.
Land
Through Wright's performance we experience Edee’s suffering, grief and hopelessness, while not knowing the full story of what brought her to the decision to live as a hermit in the mountains.
Judas and the Black Messiah
Relative newcomer director Shaka King (Newlyweeds) taps some of today's hot, young talent for this film which helps take the screenplay from very good to great.
Bliss
If you want a "thinking movie", Bliss might be right up your alley but for the majority of people I suspect it will just simply seem weird.
