Ben-Hur
Then, there are the action scenes. Intense. At times, gruesomely violent almost to the point of caricature, but Timur Bekmambetov pulls back just in time.

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.
Suicide Squad
Does Suicide Squad live up to the hype? No, no it doesn’t. Is it absolutely horrible? No, no it isn’t.
Jason Bourne
After the Bourne Legacy, the franchise needed a boost and it certainly got one with this latest film.
Ghostbusters
McCarthy isn’t funny and her voice is annoyingly nasal. Wiig is slightly better but mostly uninspired. Jones adds a few moments of hilarity and a streetwise toughness that works most of the time, but the real star is McKinnon.
The Infiltrator
Well told, nicely paced, and beautifully acted, The Infiltrator, left me craving more at the end.
