The Space Between Us
If you are a hormonal, romantic, teenage girl with a crush on Butterfield, you will want to buy a ticket to this film.
Split
McAvoy is masterful in his role as he takes on nine different characters all rolled into one heaping mess of a human being.
Underworld: Blood Wars
Foester brings a different feel to the film than we have seen in its predecessors.
Hidden Figures
Hidden Figures flows nicely and tells a heartwarming story about perseverance and triumph in the face of adversity.
Why Him?
There is nothing new or earth shattering about Why Him? The story has been told a thousand times before and I’m sure this isn’t the last time we will see it.
Passengers
With minimal cast members, the main actors had to be chosen wisely...Lawrence and Pratt were excellent options as they truly meet both criteria.
La La Land
While the movie is “tongue in cheek” and may not completely live up to the movie musical grandeur of olden days, it is, nonetheless, an uplifting, fun film and perfect for a family outing during the holiday season.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
If you take it for what it is worth, Rogue One isn’t a terrible film and it did fill in some of the holes in the plots of Episodes IV, V and VI nicely.
