I was excited about the news I’d heard about the live action version of How to Train Your Dragon but there have been many live versions of animated films that have missed the mark. So while I wanted to see it in theaters, I also tried to keep an open mind. And genuinely it is…

From the World of John Wick, Ballerina is exactly what you expect, vibrant and intense.

The Penguin Lessons: Lesson in Artful Delivery
When I read the synopsis for The Penguin Lessons, I was very interested in seeing the film. The movie looked like it would be a fantastic comedy. In that regard, I was both correct and incorrect.

Last Breath: Breathtaking
Based on a true story, I found the idea of Last Breath interesting and was curious how compelling it would be.

I’m Still Here: Dynamic and Impactful
If you want to understand a fascist government and how impactful that can be on ordinary citizens, this is the film to watch.
