Stronger (2016)
Stronger (2016)
2016 | Drama
Though Gordon Green is probably right that “Stronger” won’t please everyone, it should. Between all the crying and yelling and the Boston accents, “Stronger” is an actor’s movie. Gordon Green’s touch is subtle.
  
Total War: Warhammer II
Total War: Warhammer II
2017 | Strategy
There’s not as much progress as I’d have liked to see in the politics and diplomacy systems, which show only modest improvements. But each of the four factions is a distinct and fun-to-play addition to the growing roster.

Barracuda (2017)
Barracuda (2017)
2017 | Drama, Music, Thriller
This narrative tension, not-so-subtly conveyed at one point by the prolonged imagery of an array of knives hanging on a kitchen wall, sustains your interest in Barracuda, even when the screenplay goes off the rails a bit in the shaky third act
Critic- Steve Davis
Original Score: 3 out of 5

Didn't much like the musical scenes but the suspense factor was really good. Both characters played excellent roles.

It’s a compelling feature about love, life and friendship which can be compared to David France’s 2012 documentary How To Survive A Plague, about ACT UP in the United States.

2017 | Pop, Rock
Easy on the eye as they are on the ear. Where they might just triumph, however, is in changing the world. Because for anybody who is still interested in music for music’s sake, it’s unlikely that too many albums will top this in 2017.

Only The Brave (2017)
Only The Brave (2017)
2017 | Biography, Drama
Only The Brave isn’t exactly complicated, as far as dramas go, but it’s also not trying to be. It’s a straightforward celebration of these heroes’ lives, with a few meaningful revelations along the way, but nothing that will completely blow your mind
Critic- William Bibbiani
Original Score: 8.6 out of 10

Lincoln in the Bardo is an incredible first novel from a master of the short fiction format. The shared narration is reminiscent of a Greek chorus or a conversation, rendered on the page like the script of a play.

The synopsis of this book doesn't do it justice. This book is a magnificent thriller that I read in one sitting. Everything that a thriller requires in order to strike horror in the heart of a reader was included in this book.

There’s obviously a lot of love put it into this film by its talent in front of and behind the camera and in a situation of life imitating art, Elliott should get all the attention and praise he deserves from this film.

The Journey leans heavily on its two leading men, who are the main reason for watching it. It looks like it’s based on a contrivance, but has its roots, it becomes the accepted backdrop for the start of the reconciliation between the two.
