The Boxtrolls
This Laika Studios/Shout! Factory collaboration delivers a well-crafted product that exceeds expectations.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was groundbreaking for its time... Lee did an incredible job bringing something new and fresh to action movies.
Cocaine Bear
Cocaine Bear is a fun time but you should check your brain at the door. Trust me, you will enjoy the movie more if you do.
Strange World
While not a complete failure, Strange World lacks the signature Disney magic that makes their movies stand out.
The Fabelmans
After watching The Fabelmans, one has to wonder what Spielberg’s future would have been like had he grown up with different parents.
iMordecai
iMordecai shines brightly due to its exceptional cast, with several humor-filled moments sprinkled throughout the script adding to its overall appeal.
Knock At The Cabin
One tends to have certain expectations from a Shyamalan film and Knock at the Cabin delivers much of what we loved about The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable.
Closed Circuit
Inbar puts together a solid film that has terrific balance between interviews and camera footage.
A Man Called Otto
Let’s face it, anything Tom Hanks is in becomes elevated to the next level by his mere presence.
