The Witch
As more of an intellectual horror film, The Witch made the audience think and interpret where the true evil comes from.

Joy
Jennifer Lawrence is as good as ever, and she and Bradley Cooper have a chemistry that makes them a formidable team.
Independence Day
For all its schmaltzy graphics, the Independence Day is beautifully presented in 1080p resolution that really makes the explosions fill the entire room.
The Revenant
If you missed all the hype, DiCaprio won his first Oscar for this role, so it’s safe to say he does an excellent job, especially because he spends much of The Revenant nonverbal.
Krampus
If you are a fan of the 80’s style of horror movies, then you will find some enjoyment from Krampus.
Point Break
From the beautiful snow covered mountains to the magnificent waters of the Angel Falls in Brazil, every destination is more breathtaking than the next. At least Point Break is visually stunning if nothing else.
Victor Frankenstein
With a terrific cast and a unique perspective on the story, Victor Frankenstein had so much potential. Sadly, it simply falls flat.
Peanuts
Every Peanuts character is there with their famous quotes and the classic theme song and I was immediately transported back to my childhood.
The 33
For 69 days, the world watched as drills frantically tried to free 33 miners trapped in the refuge 200 stories below the surface. Running out of food and water, it seemed hopeless.
Steve Jobs
The cast is phenomenal and I am not surprised by the Oscar nominations for Fassbender and Kate Winslet (Titanic), who plays Joanna Hoffman, Jobs’ Polish born right hand person.
