News of The World
This is a good film in the mould of the traditional gritty Western. I hadn’t realized how much I’d been missing them, “News of the World” reminded me.
Songbird
Mason’s direction offers an intimate view of Nico and Sara while, at the same time, inviting the viewer into a larger space, depicted through overhead shots (sometimes from a drone).
Wolfwalkers
Wolfwalkers brings together an old tale, an age-old debate, and a skillset that fewer and fewer people possess.
Half Brothers
Tapping in on of Mexico’s biggest stars, Mendez, was a smart move on Director Luke Greenberg‘s (The Girl Next Door) part.
Godmothered
Godmothered is cutesy, cheesy, predictable, and uninspired but it has a few good moments and a pretty good soundtrack.
The Croods: A New Age
In a time when things are so unstable, it is nice that a movie like this one can come along to remind us all of what is most important in life.
Sound of Metal
Sound of Metal is a poignant study of trying to accept the life one has been given and not dwelling on the loss.
The Last Vermeer
It is Pearce’s performance that makes The Last Vermeer as interesting and entertaining as it ends up being.
