Boston Movie / Film Review
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.

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. Movie / Film Review
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 Movie / Film Review
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 Movie / Film Review
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.

The Hitman's Bodyguard Movie / Film Review
The Hitman's Bodyguard
While The Hitman’s Bodyguard may not be a complete bullseye, it is entertaining and has a solid cast.  Reynold’s and Jackson were great choices and I certainly hope Lionsgate will be able to tap them to return for the sequel.

Wind River Movie / Film Review
Wind River
There is a reason Wind River is gaining momentum.  While it can be hard to watch at times, it is a compelling story that envelopes the audience from the opening scenes.
