Confirmation
With a movie like Confirmation, you need a solid script to hold audience attention and HBO got one with writer Susannah Grant (Erin Brockovich).

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.

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.
