Us
Us is certainly one of the smarter horror/thriller movies that have come about in the past several years (besides Get Out) and Peele knows how to terrify us without gore or crazy jump scares.
Mary Poppins Returns
Mary Poppins Returns can’t compare to the original but it has elaborate musical numbers, a solid story, and a well-rounded cast.
Ruben Brandt, Collector
Even if you don’t know the names of every painting flashing across the screen you are aware that you are witnessing masterpieces from almost the first frame.
To Dust
While the subject matter can be bleak and depressing Snyder veers away from the stereotypical view of mourning and instead offers a different perspective on the whole concept of death.
Green Book
Above all though it is a story about breaking down barriers to build a friendship and Mortensen and Ali did that beautifully.
Captain Marvel
Larson is a great casting choice to play Danvers/Captain Marvel. She has an air of power with a soft femininity underneath and a sarcastic wit that helps lighten the mood of the serious, action film.
Ben is Back
Hedges has been a star since his first role and he has had career making performances in some of the best films of 2017 and 2018 alongside some of Hollywood’s biggest names.
Krypton: The Complete First Season
Krypton gives us an imaginative look at what might have occurred on Krypton over a hundred years before Superman made his way to Earth with plenty of drama, romance and villains.
