Movie Review: American Made
Tom Cruise is American Made
Tom Cruise reunites with director Doug Liman in Universal Pictures’ American Made. Fresh off his underrated war flick The Wall released earlier this year, Liman continues to show his flair for showcasing action mixed with drama and comedy. Written by Gary Spinelli the film is a vast improvement over Spinelli’s debut, 2014’s Stash House.
Movie Review: It
It Is Scary
One of the horror’s genres most iconic villains Pennywise returns in Warner Brothers’ adaption of Stephen King’s classic novel, It. Originally published in 1986 and later adapted into a popular 1990’s miniseries. It tells the story of the Losers Club, a group of friends who reside in the Town of Derry, Maine. Local kids are disappearing one by one, leaving behind bloody remains. In a place known as ‘The Barrens,’ the Losers Club are united by their horrifying and strange encounters with an evil clown and their determination to kill the evil force.
Movie Review: Annabelle Creation

Produced by James Wan’s Atomic Monster Productions (who previously collaborated with Warner Bros on Lights Out & Annabelle), Annabelle Creation serves as an origin tale of the creepy looking doll.
Movie Review: Detroit
An Unflinching Look At Detroit
Detroit while not an easy watch is a necessary one that you must mentally prepare yourself for. Every so often, a film comes along that truly divides audiences due to its content. Annapurna Pictures Detroit is the latest film to fall into the category. In 2017 it seems that race is one of the most sensitive subjects in our time, I’m hoping that Detroit can encourage dialogue among those who may be from different back grounds.
Movie Review: Step
Step Up To This Black Girl Magic
Fox Searchlight Pictures showcases “Black Girl Magic” to great effect with their latest release, Step. Dance movies can be hit or miss, as I generally only see them for the dancing unless it’s a documentary. With Step, I expected a documentary along the lines of Rize or Planet B-Boy. Instead, I viewed an inspirational documentary in the vein of Waiting for Superman.
Movie Review: Girls Trip
A Trip Worth Taking
Universal Pictures’ hilarious comedy, Girls Trip, is sure to draw comparisons to last month’s Rough Night from naysayers, and while their general premise is the same (friends from college reuniting), the similarities end there. The comedy genre can be a hit or miss most of the time. What one person may find funny, the next person may not, which is why comedy is layered and the R rated comedy will always be a mainstay. Girls Trip has achieved what previously R-rated comedies released this year failed to do, and that is stick with its audience long after the credits roll.
Movie Review: 47 Meters Down
A Shark Dive Worth the Time
In 1975, audiences were given their first taste of a shark for antagonist on the big screen with Steven Spielberg’s classic “Jaws”. More recently the “Sharknado” film series has been all the rage. Forty-two years later, audiences still seem to love to see sharks attack humans on film. The latest shark movie, “47 Meters Down” from Entertainment Studios, is a great addition to the genre of man vs. shark film.
