Pan's Labyrinth
Del Toro is a magnificent story teller and this labor of love is one of his many masterpieces.
Gremlins
If you grew up in the ‘80’s and remember a simpler time without cell phones or you want to introduce your kids to the “magic” of 1980’s films then Gremlins is a great place to start.
Shaft
If you are of a younger generation you will relate to many of the pop culture references that Shaft (2019) provides.
The Goldfinch
Elgort is well suited for this role. He has the classic, chiseled good looks that suits the character of the adult Theo.
Booksmart
While Booksmart may seem like the typical teenage, high school, coming of age story, there is so much underneath the surface that anyone who watches it can take something away from the film.
The Flash: The Complete Fifth Season
The Flash is an example of what is right with television today as it entertains with great characters, strong writing and excellent storytelling.
It Chapter Two
The visual effects are incredible and Muschietti’s vision is masterful and truly inspired.
