If you’re a fan of Taraji P. Henson, you’ll enjoy Proud Mary, if not, this will not be the film to win you over.

Though you can easily forgive Blame because the heart of the story is so good, once you start really taking note of all that is going on, you realize it might not be as good as it seems.

Sean Baker shows himself as perhaps one of the few noteworthy director/writers who seriously have his own style you cannot quickly and easily compare.
I, Tonya – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
I, Tonya may help build up Margot Robbie’s filmography, and get Alisson Janney major awards, but it’ll also may bore you senseless.

Similar to the Fast and Furious franchise, Pitch Perfect’s latest sequel solely tries to appeal to old fans rather than collect new ones.
Bianca come il latte, rossa come il sangue (White as Milk, Red as Blood) – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
While the film won’t leave you swooning due to the romance or even the lead actors, it’s a pleasant way to spend a little over an hour and forty minutes.
Kung Fu Yoga – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Indian and Chinese culture combine in Kung Fu Yoga to bring an action movie which has slightly more depth than most of the ones we see.

As long as you see the works of The Midnight Matinee like student films, you’ll enjoy the potential of most of them.
Love Beats Rhymes – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
In some ways, Love Beats Rhymes seems to be out to prove something. The main thing being, it isn’t smart to bet against Azealia Banks.
Call Me By Your Name – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Call Me By Your Name is an exploitative, and full of regret, coming of age/ coming out story that focuses more on PG-13 sex than romance.
A Christmas Prince – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
A Christmas Prince is a cute, yet predictable film which perhaps is more touching than expected.
Almost Friends – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Almost Friends combines your usual young adult romance storyline with an interesting perspective when it comes to the female lead.
Lady Bird – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Lady Bird seems like your yearly, usually released in the summer, coming of age tale that gets a lot of praise but is forgotten within months.
The Killing of a Sacred Deer – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
The Killing of a Sacred Deer will perhaps be one the creepiest movies you ever watched that didn’t contain sexual violence.
Thor: Ragnarok – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
The only thing which separates Thor: Ragnarok from the other films building towards the Infinity Wars is it actually has a good villain – that’s it.
All I See Is You – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Despite Blake Lively’s usual charm, an uninspiring romance and the pursuit of being too artsy makes for a dull film.
Thank You For Your Service – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Thank You For Your Service wants to convey a message while presenting a story, but unfortunately, the story it delivers is lackluster.
Wheelman – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Wheelman could very well take Frank Grillo’s career to the next level as it shows how strong his charisma is.
Tyler Perry’s Boo 2! A Madea Halloween – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Madea returns and while this film will in no way win her new fans, and may lose some old ones, she still brings the funny.

Cult of Chucky honestly doesn’t seem that bad, until you realize it is trying to set itself up for more sequels.
Flatliners – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
Despite no noteworthy performances, and this being a remake, Flatliners contains just enough surprises to fight off preconceived notions.
Kingsman: The Golden Circle – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Kingsman: The Golden Circle, matches, if not surpasses, its predecessor when it comes to action, maintains when it comes to touching moments, but utterly fails when it comes to its multiple villains.
The Wilde Wedding – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
The Wilde Wedding, while slightly pretentious, and seemingly made for big city indie lovers, is rather charming and contains the rare depiction of love in a senior age.
Vesper – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Vesper is the type of film which reminds you of when the story was the focus of mysteries and thrillers versus jump scares.
Stephen King’s IT (2017) – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
The new version of Stephen King’s IT is deserving of a bit of praise. With it being a theatrical release, rather than TV miniseries, it is quite creepier. Also, the young actors are pushed beyond what the original kids were in terms of giving their character’s heart. Yet, there is the problem it disappoints as…
Unleashed – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
Unleashed is a cute little film which you may not remember in a week, but will enjoy as you view it.
Death Note: Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
Let me preface this with noting the white washing of Netflix’s Death Note won’t be a pressing point. What will be is that it turned a cool, made for adults, anime into something that seems like a young adult novel adaptation. Trigger Warning(s): Use of gorey picture
Chris Brown: Welcome To My Life – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
While not a Chris Brown fan, I was aware of him when he first premiered and was into his early hits. However, like many, after the Rihanna assault, I found myself conflicted. Like with R. Kelly, as much as you may enjoy some of the musician’s music, it became hard to separate the performer from…
Batman and Harley Quinn – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
While not as good as the Son of Batman trilogy, what Batman and Harley Quinn lacks in a compelling story it makes up for with jokes and… music?
Naked – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
While the groundhog day concept isn’t new, one has to wonder can another production use the narrative in a funny, insightful, or heartfelt way? Well, Naked sort of tries.
The Glass Castle – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
Considering Brie Larson’s Oscar win, and how The Glass Castle seemed like Oscar bait, I was surprised it was given an August release. Add in Woody Harrelson, Naomi Watts, and that “Based on a True Story” tagline, I feared we would end up with something that seemed like a polish Lifetime movie. But in the…
The Hitman’s Bodyguard – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
Though what has been advertised in an action comedy, what The Hitman’s Bodyguard truly is – is a love story.
Victor – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
A nice boy who gets into a gang, becomes an addict, but through faith is healed. Yeah, prepare yourself for a slightly edgy feel good piece. One which is of the caliber of a Lifetime original movie.
The Incredible Jessica James – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
The Incredible Jessica Jones is the type of film which definitely won’t be for everyone. Like with Girlboss, we are given a character who arguably can be narcissistic, but you can grow to love. Though I can’t guarantee with time that will be true for every last Netflix subscriber.
Atomic Blonde – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
The only difference between most action movies and Atomic Blonde is Charlize Theron has a better choreographer/ stunt double than the rest. As for the story? While it has a few twists and turns, it isn’t anything which will make this more than a one and done.
The Madame in Black (Svarta Madam) – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
While Madame in Black gives you the creeps with its score and sound effects, the characters presented you are given so little on that it is hard to care if they die. Disclaimer: I was given a link by Writer/ Director Jarno Lee Vinsencius to see this movie.
Kizumonogatari III: Reiketsu – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
Kizumonogatari ends more so with a whimper than a roar. For while the fight scenes are quite epic, and the ecchi we are used to is there, something is missing. Of which I can only believe is its heart.
