![]() Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them felt like a forced march as much as a magical experience. With so much exposition to get in, this first of five Fantastic Beasts movies is more episodic than rhapsodic. The march is worth taking however, since the magical experience introduces us to a …

![]() The Force is with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, albeit weakly and episodically. Thus, this one-off Star Wars movie registers as a mildly tasty surprise while we endure the two year wait between major episodes. Rogue One tells the backstory of the Death Star, that ultimate weapon of mass de…

![]() I think that most guys would agree that being trapped alone with Jennifer Lawrence would not be a bad thing, and watching it unfold along with Chris Pratt in a space travel setting was a cool way to spend a few hours. Loved Simon Pegg in his android form as well. |

![]() Adam Sandler and David Spade attempt to revive their heydays in comedy with an Ok outcome. Its funny in a predictable way and somewhat more refined than the same shtick they did over 15 years ago, but still, nothing to rush out and go see. |

![]() An engaging film about a lost boy from Calcutta who is given a new life in Austrailia, yet yearns to reconnect with his roots. The story is engrossing, the acting is top notch, then add to that fantastic cinematography and a great soundtrack and Lion became a winner for me. |

![]() This Art/history/cultural thriller is fairly interesting from the historical-mystery perspective, but the movie is much more compelling as a spy-ish thriller. Tom Hanks does his thang. |

![]() Loved the imperial era of Great Britain, who took it upon themselves to chart (and conquer) the world. That makes this story of a grand adventure plausible and fun. A man’s life-long passion to find a treasure. This is a very good story told with epic flair and mystery – borderline great film. |

![]() Nice sci-fi enhanced action, and an entertaining attempt to infuse mysticism. Entertaining despite the fact that I never really understood the premise of the movie (or the game). |

![]() Silence is a long and plodding film with plenty of forced drama from Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver as Catholic missionaries returning to Japan to find their mentor (Liam Neeson) after his failed attempt at converting the Japanese to true Christianity. Scorcese pours it on with intense and rich… |
