Keanu
As a recent comedy goes, Keanu is above average and works on many levels. The story was cute and the cat(s) even cuter – not to mention pretty good at acting.
The Complete Fifth Season
It’s a shame this was the final season of Person of Interest because it becomes more intriguing to me with every passing year.
I Am Wrath
I Am Wrath had some great potential but needed more details and fuller script to allow these talented actors to do what they do best.
Green Room
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the tragic, unexpected passing of Anton Yelchin. If Green Room is any indication of what is to come, he was a huge talent with a bright future ahead of him.
Eddie the Eagle
Despite its flaws, Eddie the Eagle boasts a strong cast, good script and, like Eddie himself, a lot of heart. Watch it at least once. You won't regret it.
Kung Fu Panda 3
The original cast returning helps lend an air of authenticity to the film. The dialog is smooth and the story is fairly cute and interesting enough.
The Adderall Diaries
With terrific source material, the movie (The Adderall Diaries) should have been a deeply moving introspective look at various views of the same memories, but, sadly, falls short.
Shrek Anniversary Edition
With the perfect blend of storytelling, animation, and music this is one movie (Shrek) the whole family can enjoy.
Midnight Special
In an era of remakes and sequels, Midnight Special offers something a little fresh and different.
