Ralph Breaks The Internet
As sequels go this one hits the mark.  It is enjoyable and entertaining and offers TONS of Easter eggs for the audience to dissect.  The Disney team did a wonderful job visualizing what the internet might look like from the inside.

Instant Family
Instant Family is a feel-good film during the holiday season and one that should be seen by everyone as it might just start a much-needed dialogue.

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
While the magical aspects and visuals are appealing, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is clunky and awkward.  Fans of the Potter Universe will no doubt go to see it but shouldn’t expect it to be as inviting as the first film.

A Private War
A Private War is haunting but does the life of Marie Colvin justice.  It couldn’t have been easy but it was an important life and the film pays homage to the brilliant woman behind the faces of wars and conflicts all over the world.
