Concussion
Will Smith is fantastic as Omalu, transforming himself into the soft-spoken, egotistical, yet vigilant, Doctor. His performance is excellent as he morphs into the Nigerian who simply wants to do what is right.

Daddy's Home
Will Ferrell's latest endeavor, Daddy’s Home, is more of the same mind numbing antics we have come to expect from him. I can only hope at some point someone has the common sense to stop hiring him.
The Hateful Eight
I can’t decide if Quentin Tarantino (Pulp Fiction) is incredibly brilliant or deeply disturbed; probably some combination of both.
The Big Short
Educational and enlightening would be an apt description were it not hidden beneath a highly entertaining, and darkly comedic film.
Sisters
From driving techno beats to old school ‘80s songs, the music is a great-added element and helps get the audience in a party mood.
Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens
Gone are most of the childish elements that made fans of the original trilogy cringe, and in it’s place, is dialog and scenes that are there to help move the story along.
In The Heart of The Sea
The one thing I actually took away from this film was how hard it was to be a whaler, working hard for years at a time, under less than ideal conditions.
The Good Dinosaur
If you are one of those adults looking to take the children in your life to a movie, this one isn’t a bad choice, but don’t be surprised when you walk away with the feeling of Déjà vu.
Creed
Lets face it, had this movie been made without Stallone, it would have been a completely different film and not nearly as good. Rocky had to be included in the next chapter of this saga or it would have been a cheap knock off of an iconic franchise.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2
For the last in a series, it could have been better but it could have been worse too. Of the four films, it wasn’t my favorite but it certainly was better than Mocking jay Part I.
