Hello, My Name Is Doris

Sally Field is excellent in Hello, My Name Is Doris, which does a pretty fine job of telling a story about love, mental health, grief, and never giving up on trying something new.

Eddie the Eagle

Eddie the Eagle makes for a really good sports film, with a sport you would have never expected to be so captivating, Ski Jumping.

Deadpool

Deadpool falls short because it brings nothing fresh to the table and has a sense of humor that I can’t imagine is all that appealing to most audiences.

Triple 9

Triple 9 is another star studded effort from John Hillcoat and while the set pieces work the shabbiness of the film is barely holding it together.

10 Cloverfield Lane

Months ago when the film came out of nowhere, 10 Cloverfield Lane quickly jumped the line to the top of my most anticipated movies list. Thank goodness it doesn’t disappoint. Granted I also knew what to expect.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

After running wildly out of my comfort zone with Sisters, the Tina Fey I know and love is back in Whiskey Foxtrot Tango. Wait, no. Foxtrot Tango Whiskey… WTF!? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

The Witch

The Witch is an atmospheric and unsettling horror film that finds more terror among the people than it does the supernatural.
