Paramount Presents: Ordinary People
Having been nominated for six Oscars and winning four of them, there is no arguing that Ordinary People is a fantastic film, and the cast is phenomenal.
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore
Law reprises his role as the adult wizard long before he became the head of Hogwarts, and he does a masterful job of portraying the serious individual who occasionally throws some levity into the mix.
Moon Knight
Moon Knight's concept is interesting and the execution is ok, but the real question is…is it necessary?
The Lost City
If you know in advance what you are getting yourself into and you don’t expect too much, The Lost City is a fun way to spend a few hours.
X
West sets out to make a bloody, heart pounding horror movie with X, and, for the most part, succeeds beautifully.
Deep Water
Watching Deep Water is equivalent to driving past a bad car accident. You don't want to look but you simply can’t turn away.
Dream a Little Dream
If Dream a Little Dream's plot sounds like Vice Versa or Freaky Friday, it's because it is - with some slight variations.
