The King of Staten Island
Davidson had to play Scott as so much of the story parallels his own life. He obviously drew on his experiences to bring out the emotions he faces in the film.

The Hunt
Gilpin is great and Swank is downright deplorable herself as the evil mastermind behind The Hunt. It helps that they are surrounded by a whole bunch of actors that play their parts well.
Body Cam
At 93 minutes long and a VOD release, you might think Body Cam is going to be terrible and while you aren’t completely wrong, you aren’t completely right either.
Scoob!
Scoob!'s animation is very well done with vibrant colors and sharp details. The soundtrack is also eclectic helping adult viewers take a stroll down memory lane.
Spaceship Earth
What makes Matt Wolf’s documentary so interesting is the background and the origin stories of the group that he uses to lay the foundation leading up to the Biosphere 2 experiment.
The Legend of Zorro
Antonio Banderas was an excellent casting choice and his chemistry with co-star Zeta-Jones is palpable.
The Mask of Zorro
There are several reasons why The Mask of Zorro was so successful, beginning with the cast.
Trolls World Tour
If you have kids, get Trolls World Tour and watch them dance their little butts off to the timing of the music. You won’t regret it.
Call of The Wild
Ford is the best part of this version and the script is strong, but the overuse of CGI brought the production level down a few notches.
