Fifty Shades of Grey
Fifty Shades of Grey is better than I expected after seeing the trailers but it certainly won’t be winning any awards.

Kingsman: The Secret Service
With great acting and an interesting plot, Kingsman had the potential of being a truly great film and, while it is fun, enjoyable and entertaining, it falls short of being iconic.
Into The Woods
Overall, a great way to spend a Christmas day with the family and certainly worth the price of admission.
The Imitation Game
With so many movies to choose from this Holiday season, it is difficult to know what is the best option for your well-earned money. I can tell you if you choose The Imitation Game, it will be money well spent.
The Penguins of Madagascar
Usually by the time a franchise hits the fourth installment it has run out of steam and unfortunately The Penguins of Madagascar isn’t the exception.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1
How do you milk a successful book series for as much as you can? You split the last book in half and open the movie on Thanksgiving weekend.
How To Train Your Dragon 2
All in all, If you’re looking for an animated story that both boys and girls will enjoy then definitely get How to Train Your Dragon 2 on iTunes.

Book of Life
The Book of life isn't up to par with some of the more recent animated offerings but it is a fun little film.
The Best of Me
The Best of me is not great cinema and won’t be winning any awards but Liberato is terrific and the photography is beautiful. Otherwise, it’s what you would expect from a Nicholas Sparks’ film.
