The Butler – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
With Lee Daniels, Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, Terrence Howard, Yaya DaCosta, Nelsan Ellis, Lenny Kravitz, Cuba Gooding Jr., and a slew of other names which often bring quite a bit of confidence into a production, it was hard to avoid seeing this film.

The Book of Life – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Overview A traditional love conquers all story, with a Mexican twist.

The Boy – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Overview The phrase “An Idle Mind Is The Devil’s Playground” would perhaps be the best tagline for a film like this. One which shows what happens when a boy is allowed to explore his small world unattended, not get the opportunity to socialize with people his age, and seemingly is left with nothing to amuse…

Overview A young girl struggling to gain stability finds it in one woman’s home. Review (with Spoilers) Like most people, when I think of any Disney Princess I think some bubblegum pop image of someone who seems marketable, but certainly isn’t a dramatic actress.

Get On Up – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Overview While most biopics seek to both educate and entertain you, as well as show you the soul of an icon, this film strangely skips out on giving you soul and solely focuses on the entertainment part of Brown’s life, with a sprinkle of his triumph and demons. Review (with Spoilers) James Brown has been…

Fences – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)
Fences seems barely changed from its theatrical production. The only difference maybe a set instead of a stage, and maybe one or two extra roles, which certainly don’t act like filler.
