To Catch a Thief
Grant had a certain suave, debonair appeal, and charming good looks which made him the perfect casting choice for the role of Robie.
Like a Boss
Hayek comes across beautifully as the villain, but I'm not sure there is a role she can't pull off.
Blumhouse’s Fantasy Island
If you remember the Fantasy Island television show, you should watch the film at least once if for nothing more than nostalgia’s sake.
V: The Final Battle
If you own V on disc, or remember the miniseries or are just feeling nostalgic for the 1980s, take a stroll down memory lane and purchase V: The Final Battle on Blu-ray now.
Trolls World Tour
If you have kids, get Trolls World Tour and watch them dance their little butts off to the timing of the music. You won’t regret it.
Call of The Wild
Ford is the best part of this version and the script is strong, but the overuse of CGI brought the production level down a few notches.
Just Mercy
Foxx won an Oscar for his portrayal of Ray Charles in Ray and I'd say his performance as McMillian rivals that of his Oscar winning role.
The Grudge
The jump scares are spot on and the level of gore produced by the makeup artists is truly horrifying.
