Patti Cake$
While Patti Cake$ is not overly long, the film is entertaining with the help of terrific characters. An underdog itself, it fights its way to the top to be among the contenders.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
Culkin was a wonderful actor as a child and, to be honest, this film series wouldn’t have been the same with a different actor in the role. His slightly mischievous smile and maturity really make one believe that a young boy could be lost in New York all by himself and manage to pull it off.
The Glass Castle
Based on Jeanette's memoir about her life growing up in poverty with an alcoholic father, The Glass Castle is a mix of warmth, love, despair, and heartbreak.
War for the Planet of the Apes
Serkis is the pulse that keeps War for the Planet of the Apes beating, infusing so much humanity into Caesar.
Warrior
The 4K UHD Blu-ray disc of Warrior is beautifully presented in 2160p high definition video quality and accentuates the sharp differences between Tommy’s and Brendan’s worlds.
Alfred Hitchcock: The Ultimate Collection
If you are a fan Alfred Hitchcock or know someone who is, you will want to buy this collection as a keepsake and the extras make it even more worthwhile.
Miracle on 34th Street
With all the violence, action and horror movie audiences face these days, it is nice to come back to a heartwarming classic tale that stands the test of time.
Girls Trip
Terrific casting plays a large part of why Girls Trip works. They all have great comedic timing which makes the dialogue flow smoothly and the scenes work beautifully.
Kick-Ass
Kick-Ass is a mish-mosh of ideas that somehow comes together and almost completely works. It’s got a good cast and some fun scenes which helps the viewer get immersed in the story. It’s worth watching if for no other reason than simply to bring out the inner superhero in all of us.
