Bridget Jones's Baby
This latest installment of Bridget Jones was a long time coming, but it was worth the wait.
Sully
Tom Hanks was fantastic as the stoic pilot turned reluctant hero whose brave decision saved hundreds of lives.
The Light Between Oceans
With a compelling story and well-written script, The Light Between Oceans flows beautifully, barely making the audience aware it is over 2 hours long.
War Dogs
Director Todd Phillips graduates from schtick comedy to more serious subject matter with this film but still manages to interject moments of “slapstick” that remind you of his previous success.
Pete's Dragon
Pete's Dragon itself is dark, depressing and not suitable for its intended audience –families with young children.
Hell or High Water
I’m not sure Jeff Bridges makes a bad film anymore, but if he does, he is usually the bright spot. True to form, he plays his character well.
Florence Foster Jenkins
Simon Helberg is masterful at displaying emotion without saying a word and stands toe to toe with these screen giants in every scene.
