Secret Society of Second Born Royals
Lee is decent as the princess suddenly discovering her powers and capably leads the Disney film and the cast, which is quite an undertaking for a teenager.
Enola Holmes
What a terrific cast! Brown is perfect as the teenage, younger sister of the famed detective and Cavill does a nice job portraying Sherlock.
Kajillionaire
As Kajillionaire begins it shows signs of promise but in the end falls flat and doesn’t deliver a satisfying conclusion.
Murder In The Woods
The cast is made up of relatively unknowns with Trejo being the most seasoned amongst the group.
Ratched
As origin stories go, this one makes some interesting assumptions as to who Mildred Ratched really is yet doesn’t steer away from plausibility in any way.
Mulan
Those hoping to see a new version of the animated movie will be disappointed. This Mulan has its own feel and texture.
The Personal History of David Copperfield
Iannucci offers an interesting interpretation of this classic story, beginning with the casting.
Bill & Ted Face the Music
Winters has barely aged in the twenty-nine years since Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey was released but Reeves no longer fits the role of Ted very well.
One Night In Bangkok
Dacascos does a terrific job portraying Kai; a peaceful, gentle man who calculates and plans his vigilante justice against those whom he feels have wronged him and his family.
