Arrival
Director Denis Villeneuve does a very good job keeping the pace going throughout Arrival.
Trolls
Trolls' animation is fantastic with color hues that are vibrant and full and run the entire spectrum.
Doctor Strange
There is humor strewn throughout Doctor Strange, although it sometimes felt like (at times) it was too much.
Inferno
Inferno's ending has been altered. While cinematically more exciting, it also holds no mystery. Audiences who don’t know the story might find it wrapped up the movie neatly, but those who do won’t necessarily enjoy it.
Jack Reacher: Never Go Back
There is cohesive synergy between the cast. Cruise, Smulders, and Yarosh make a great threesome- all exploring new aspects of individual relationships that really give the movie depth.
American Pastoral
As a first effort, McGregor’s directorial debut is lacking, but perhaps he chose to bite off a huge chunk by taking on a literary masterpiece.
Deepwater Horizon
Russell is solid as the man in charge of a well-run ship and Wahlberg is a wonder that can go from comedy to real life drama in the blink of an eye.
The Magnificent Seven
The Magnificent Seven is an entertaining film with a mix of action, drama, and comedy.
