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.
The Post
Question: What do you get when you put Streep and Tom Hanks together with Director Steven Spielberg? Answer: A movie making a “dream team” of course.
Leap!
The animation team spent over two years bringing Paris to life for Leap and their hard work and dedication pay off with detailed scenes that are very well done.
Roman J. Israel, Esq.
Roman J. Israel, Esq. was unsettling in both a good and a bad way and at moments was difficult to watch. However, Washington is so amazing in general, and incredible in this role specifically, that the uncomfortable feeling is tolerated in order to see how the plot plays out in the end.
Justice League
I went into Justice League with somewhat low expectations and walked out with a slightly brighter outlook than I expected. With some funny moments to lighten the mood and some strong (literally and figuratively) characters.
A Bad Moms Christmas
While not cinematic excellence, A Bad Moms Christmas is a fun, guilty pleasure and put simply – a good time.
Only The Brave
Sufficed to say Only The Brave is a real tearjerker of a film and the memories will haunt the viewer for a while afterward as the film stays with you long after you leave the theater.
