Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Movie / Film Review
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
While the magical aspects and visuals are appealing, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is clunky and awkward.  Fans of the Potter Universe will no doubt go to see it but shouldn’t expect it to be as inviting as the first film.

A Private War Movie / Film Review
A Private War
A Private War is haunting but does the life of Marie Colvin justice.  It couldn’t have been easy but it was an important life and the film pays homage to the brilliant woman behind the faces of wars and conflicts all over the world.

Air Force One Physical Media: 4K UHD Review
Air Force One
Air Force One offers a great cast, strong action sequences and a solid plot that will keep one entertained throughout.  In the action/hostage/drama genre it is a top pick along with Die Hard so if you are a fan, you will definitely want to pick this one up.

BlacKkKlansman
BlacKkKlansman is a well-told story and I would be surprised if it didn’t garner some Oscar nominations this year.
