The Old Guard
The visuals help to set the scenes well and director Gina Prince-Bythewood has decent pacing. The beginning is somewhat slow, but it picks up by the second act.

Hamilton
Besides Miranda, the cast is made up of incredibly talented artists who took Miranda’s brilliant score and breathed life into it despite being some of the most challenging songs to perform live.
David Foster: Off the Record
It’s obvious from how Foster and others speak about him that he is his harshest critic and doesn’t necessarily think of himself as all that successful.
Braveheart
Braveheart is beautifully shot, well-acted, and offers an interesting, but an untruthful, story about what many believe to be a great Scotsman.
Doom Patrol: Season Two
If there was an "Island of Misfit Toys" in the world of comic books, Doom Patrol would certainly fit the bill perfectly.
Irresistible
Irresistible is a cute, little film not without flaws but the overall feeling you get while watching it helps you to forgive and forget those flaws.
7500
Gordon-Levitt was an excellent casting choice as he is certainly one of the best parts of 7500.
Pretty in Pink
Ringwald has an inner strength about her that makes Andie so resilient even when she is crying her eyes out.
Da 5 Bloods
Da 5 Bloods is one of Lee’s best films to date and one I’m sure that will be studied in intro to film/cinema classes at colleges all across the country.
Urban Cowboy
Winger... shines, stealing every scene she is in. She overshadows Travolta, which is usually extremely difficult to do.
