Tomb Raider
Vikander had been on an upward trajectory career wise for the last few years and playing this well-known action heroine is just another feather in her cap.

A Wrinkle in Time
With magnificent colors and costumes, A Wrinkle in Time tries to entice audiences to use their imagination.
Game Night
With so much of the same films being produced and shoved down our throats these days, it’s nice to get something a little out of the ordinary for a change.
Black Panther
Marvel Studios usually does a good job with these films but with Black Panther, they stepped up their game and it pays off.
Fifty Shades Freed
Let’s face it, the Fifty Shades franchise is nothing that will win any awards nor be remembered for its great acting or dialogue but fans of the books who have been faithful to the films will walk away feeling satisfied nonetheless.
12 Strong
12 Strong kept my attention and gave me new insight into what our military was involved in overseas after 9/11. While some will say it “glamorizes” war, it is nonetheless entertaining and informative.
The Commuter
You’ll be engrossed for much of the film but in the end, you’ll probably walk out thinking, "what was all that build up for?"
Pitch Perfect 3
The movie does start off slow but gains momentum throughout and ends on a high note. There are also a few laughs for the whole family to enjoy.
The Greatest Showman
From the cast to the costumes to the music, The Greatest Showman has so much to offer and with a PG rating, it’s the perfect movie to take the whole family to this holiday season.
Boston
Dunham does a wonderful job of including so much of the human interest angle into Boston, infusing it with grit and heart. His presentation and delivery hold the viewer’s attention even if they are a novice to the world of running and Marathons.
