Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
With so much “Oscar bait” clogging up this holiday season Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle is a refreshing comedic/action bright spot in an otherwise drama-filled fare.

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.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Rian Johnson has created an amazing film in the Star Wars saga with The Last Jedi. While certainly not the best in the series, it is certainly not the worst. One can only wait and see if J.J. Abrams can wrap up all the unanswered questions in the final film in this trilogy in 2019.
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.
Coco
Stunning. Stimulating. Surprising. Funny. Mesmerizing. Moving. Disney/Pixar film, Coco transcends the typical animated film.
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.
Thor: Ragnarok
Thor Ragnarok Brings Us Sparkles In Sakaar. It’s a “Hela” Good Fun, Too!
A Bad Moms Christmas
While not cinematic excellence, A Bad Moms Christmas is a fun, guilty pleasure and put simply – a good time.
