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.
The Innocents (Les Innocentes)
The Innocents (Les Innocentes) is a masterful look at how our experiences shape and change us. The messages of perseverance and hope in a time of despair are powerful.
Wiener-Dog
Todd Solondz Once Again Shows His Panache for The Hilariously Morbid With Wiener-Dog.
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
It isn’t surprising that Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates is written by Andrew Jay Cohen and Brendan O’Brien as it encompasses the same humor that they have given us in the past with Neighbors.
