- DirectorKim Jee-woonStarsLee Byung-hunSong Kang-hoGong YooKorean resistance fighters smuggle explosives to destroy facilities controlled by Japanese forces in this period action thriller.Excellent film to start the new year. Great direction and cinematography with a talented cast on top of that.
- DirectorTaika WaititiStarsChris HemsworthTom HiddlestonCate BlanchettImprisoned on the planet Sakaar, Thor must race against time to return to Asgard and stop Ragnarök, the destruction of his world, at the hands of the powerful and ruthless villain Hela.Such a funny film that would make Tony Stark proud of Point Break.
- DirectorStan LathanStarsDave ChappelleDonnell RawlingsDave talks about not actually growing up in the projects, the hate he received from the transgender community, and from fake news.The man still has it and he has gotten better. I laughed so much I had tears in my eyes.
- DirectorJay BaruchelStarsSeann William ScottAlison PillMarc-André GrondinA hockey player plagued by injuries is confronted with the possibility of retirement when a tough new player challenges his status as the league's top enforcer.Over the top stupid but somehow works. It has a dull feeling but the main characters stupidity will entertain you (somewhat).
- DirectorAdam MasseyStarsChris DiamantopoulosChloe BradtMichael CramA mysterious stalker plagues a reality tv survivalist during his five days alone for a new season of his show in the northern Ontario wilderness; and the figure may not be human.It's an okay film with a decent concept. However, I wish it did not take a sci-fi approach and instead take more of a Hush approach. If you are bad it's a decent film to watch or fall asleep to.
- DirectorJoachim RønningEspen SandbergStarsJohnny DeppGeoffrey RushJavier BardemCaptain Jack Sparrow searches for the Trident of Poseidon to rule the sea while being pursued by old rival Captain Salazar and a crew of deadly ghosts who have escaped from the Devil's Triangle.Not the best Pirates film but it was much better than Stranger Tides. I enjoyed Johnny Depp in this film but not anyone else. It felt all over the place and wasn't as dark as the original film.
- DirectorStan LathanStarsDave ChappelleDave jokes about the sexual assaults dominating the 2017 entertainment news and how and why people allow themselves to be abused.Not his best performance but still good. He seemed to be more relaxed.
- DirectorJames MangoldStarsHugh JackmanPatrick StewartDafne KeenIn a future where mutants are nearly extinct, an elderly and weary Logan leads a quiet life. But when Laura, a mutant child pursued by scientists, comes to him for help, he must get her to safety.The best Marvel movie I have ever seen. I put this next to the Dark Knight in terms of comic book movies. It was a wonderful sendoff for Jackman and Stewart.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsMichael FassbenderKatherine WaterstonBilly CrudupThe crew of a colony ship, bound for a remote planet, discover an uncharted paradise with a threat beyond their imagination, and must attempt a harrowing escape.I love the brutal violence and Michael Fassbender in this film but that's really all. So far it's the worst movie I've seen in the first 10 days of this year.
- DirectorMario Van PeeblesStarsNicolas CageTom SizemoreThomas JaneDuring World War II, an American navy ship is sunk by a Japanese submarine leaving 890 crewmen stranded in shark infested waters.A disappointing film for Nicholas Cage and Mario Van Peebles. The film was too long and not emotional enough. The script wasn't there all the way and had a lot of bad supporting actors. Nicholas Cage was the best part of the film but there is no saving this film. It seemed like Mario was out of his element. The film needed more depth, its a good film to watch if you are interested in the time period.
- DirectorMaya ForbesStarsJack BlackJenny SlateJason SchwartzmanLocal Pennsylvania polka legend Jan Lewan develops a plan to get rich that shocks his fans and lands him in jail.The only thing holding this film together was the performance on Jack Black and Jenny Slate. Besides that this film is a bit dull and the other performances were a bit boring to have to watch. Skip this film unless you are a fan of Jack Black. I took a chance since it has been a long time since I watched one of his films.
- DirectorGary CohenRoss HockrowStarsEddie HallHafþór Júlíus BjörnssonBrian ShawThe four strongest men on the planet compete for the crown. We meet each 400-pound giant in his home country, then on to The Arnold Strongman Classic. Starring Eddie Hall, Hafthor Bjornsson, Brian Shaw and Zydrunas Savickas.Excellent documentary about a world that I know nothing about. Well done, wished more people were interviewed but I was pleased by who were and the the people they chose as the leads.
- DirectorBenjamin CohenNicolas CottoStarsSebastien-Yves LaurentStephen DorrilThomas HennesseyThe British 1940s wartime counterespionage "Operation Jack King" is explained after MI5 archives are opened for this.Decent documentary on an interesting subject. Hard to follow since it is in french. Still an enjoyable watch if you are into history.
- DirectorMac CarterStarsJacki WeaverLiana LiberatoHarrison Sloan GilbertsonAn introvert teen befriends his new neighbor, and together the couple begin to explore the haunted house that his family has just purchased.Average horror film, a lot of the characters were wasted and the story simple. Things happened fast and seemed unnatural and nothing was truly solved and the scares were basic.
- DirectorChoi Jin-sungStarsKim Eui-sungHong Ik-PyoJung Jae-HoInvestigation about government-involved insider trading in South Korea.Interesting Korean language documentary. It is done in a low budget way that makes the whole thing seem more personal. Made me realize that I would not like a career in investigative journalism.
- DirectorJoshua ZemanStarsRachel MillsJoshua ZemanStephen WinickDelving into our collective nightmares, this horror-documentary investigates the origins of our most terrifying urban legends and the true stories that may have inspired them.Decent documentary that seems to add a personal touch to the research. However, the film might seem cramp with everything that they explore in the film.
- DirectorJohn Michael McDonaghStarsAlexander SkarsgårdMichael PeñaTheo JamesTwo corrupt cops set out to blackmail and frame every criminal unfortunate enough to cross their path. Events, however, are complicated by the arrival of someone who appears to be even more dangerous than they are.Silly comedy with no real value besides a few laughs and the new love interest of Thor. Enjoyed the performances by the leads though. Just too dull with most of the humor. It's a great watch for black comedy lovers. Pena did a great job.
- DirectorBin BunlueritStarsBuakaw BanchamekSornsin ManeewanManop AswathepIt follows the life of general Thongdee, growing up from a young hot-head to a legendary Muay Thai fighter. Based on a real story about a warrior "White Teeth" from Thailand's Ayutthaya period.All over the place, so many characters were crammed into this film and the story had some holes. The fighting was alright as the film was carried by the main actor and no one else.
- DirectorOsgood PerkinsStarsRuth WilsonPaula PrentissBob BalabanA nervous nurse who scares easily finds herself caring for an ailing horror novelist while living in a house with hidden secrets.Snoozefest, I fell asleep 3 times to this movie an struggled to finish it each time. The main actress did good work with the role she was given. I felt like the film was going to be darker but it turned to be a poetic film that crashes and burns in the first two minutes.
- DirectorJohn H. LeeStarsLiam NeesonLee Jung-jaeLee Beom-suA team of spies is sent into Incheon to gain intelligence on North Korean positions ahead of the invasion by UN forces.An okay war piece, the overall direction seemed to be lacking. Liam Neeson was almost wasted in this film as were the main Korean actors. I appreciate the fact that they chose real English speaking actors that could actually act. This probably one of the first Asian I've seen that was like this. That's a big thumbs up for me. The story progressed so fast that it tried to make major character development happen without a mere two scenes. It made the story still a bit silly and unreal. The CGI needed some work as well. However, it is still an interesting film.
- DirectorEytan RockawayStarsJason PatricLouisa KrauseMark MargolisThe Confined is an intense and claustrophobic thriller that follows troubled Streak who, in a last-ditch effort at getting her life together, takes a job working nights as a security guard at an abandoned luxury apartment building.Simple psychological horror film that at best is a decent student film with an amazing set.
- DirectorBenson LeeStarsCha In-pyoJustin ChonJessika VanIn 1986, a group of foreign-born Korean teenagers attend a summer camp in South Korea.Best film I've seen in a while, I enjoyed all the characters and enjoyed seeing Justin Chon in this film. Excellent cast, I enjoyed every moment of this film.
- DirectorChad StahelskiStarsKeanu ReevesRiccardo ScamarcioIan McShaneAfter returning to the criminal underworld to repay a debt, John Wick discovers that a large bounty has been put on his life.Best action film I've seen this year. Keanu Reeves returns to be a simple yet amazing action star. The action was brutal, the story is simple, the characters are interesting, the locations were unique to say the least. I love the things that they did in this film, I can't wait for the 3rd chapter. Enjoyed the small reunion as well.
- DirectorTravis KnightStarsCharlize TheronArt ParkinsonMatthew McConaugheyA young boy named Kubo must locate a magical suit of armour worn by his late father in order to defeat a vengeful spirit from the past.Excellent film! So far, my favorite film and my second favorite stop motion Animation film. The best stop motion action film and one of the best ever. The story is well done but the characters are the true highlight of the film. Kubo is a great lead surrounded by a wonderful supporting cast.
- DirectorGareth EvansStarsIko UwaisAnanda GeorgeRay SahetapyA S.W.A.T. team becomes trapped in a tenement run by a ruthless mobster and his army of killers and thugs.An okay creative action film. I was left bored by this movie , I believe it was because of the colors in the film. I find the dull grey to be underwhelming. The action is the only good part of this film.
