“The Great Wall” stars Matt Damon as a trader, whose team has died, while on a quest for black powder during the Song Dynasty. This is not the Matt Damon I know. […]
The Great Wall
A United Kingdom
I liked both movies, but I felt “A United Kingdom” was more challenging than “Loving.” Both these movies involve mixed marriages at the worst possible time periods. This one, set in 1947, […]
The Lego Batman Movie
In my Top 10 Worst Films of 2016 list, I said: “I fear the future of D.C. Comics movies.” Both “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Suicide Squad” only cared about […]

Unless Oscars contenders get expanded, it is very uncommon for great movies to pop up in January, and “The Founder” indicates that 2017 could be a great year for movies. I hate […]
xXx: Return of Xander Cage

Split
I rarely sit through horror movies nowadays (which is why I chose to skip “The Bye Bye Man” and “Underworld: Awakening”), but M. Night Shyamalan’s next thriller “Split” is one I’m curious […]
