10 (1979)

Father Stu (2022)
"Father Stu" is the interesting true story of a boxer who becomes a Catholic priest, and eventually is stricken with a muscle disorder that hinders his ability to perform the duties of his ministry. The film was well put together by Rosalind Ross in her first motion [..]
Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody (2022)
British actress Naomi Ackie does a wonderful job of portraying a legendary entertainer in "Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody." Ackie captured Houston's personality without overwhelming the audience with her own presence. This "authorized" biopic is a fitting tribute to Houston's life and music, with [..]
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
The sequel to 2009's blockbuster "Avatar" is out in theaters this Christmas season. "Avatar: The Way of Water" exceeds the quality of the original, with even better special effects and a fast-moving storyline that makes for an astoundingly enjoyable three hours and twelve minutes in the picture [..]

The Addams Family 2 (2021)
"The Addams Family 2" is a mediocre but still entertaining sequel to MGM's 2019 hit "The Addams Family." Directors Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan were held over from the first film, and did an acceptable job here. Screenwriters Dan Hernandez, Benji Samit, Ben Queen, and Susanna [..]
Ford v Ferrari (2019)

The Lion King (2019)
As a result of Walt Disney Pictures' goal of producing new versions of its entire film library, they came out with a "photorealistic" computer-animated remake of the traditionally animated "The Lion King" of 1994. This 2019 movie of the same name tells the story of the young lion [..]
Jumanji (1995)
"Jumanji" is the tale of a supernatural board game that releases wild animals from the jungle upon anyone and everyone that comes into contact with it. This strange story seems to translate well to the big screen with major stars like Robin Williams and Bonnie Hunt and [..]
