V: The Final Battle
If you own V on disc, or remember the miniseries or are just feeling nostalgic for the 1980s, take a stroll down memory lane and purchase V: The Final Battle on Blu-ray now.
Just Mercy
Foxx won an Oscar for his portrayal of Ray Charles in Ray and I'd say his performance as McMillian rivals that of his Oscar winning role.
The Grudge
The jump scares are spot on and the level of gore produced by the makeup artists is truly horrifying.
Spies in Disguise
Spies in Disguise is a fun movie with terrific voice actors and some wonderful animation.
Richard Jewell
Hauser was a great option to portray Jewell, not only for his physical resemblance but because he emitted an aura of truly caring for people while following the rules to a point of taking them overboard.
A Quiet Place
The concept for the movie is so basic you would think it was uninspired and couldn’t possibly be any good but you would be wrong.
Uncut Gems
Filmmakers Josh and Benny Safdie bought a quality product to audiences this past year and Sandler shines and the wholly unlikeable Ratner, but the film has flaws.
