The Infiltrator
(2016)
|
Glynis Costin
|
[Cranston is] a joy to watch as he glides from Colombia to Miami to London, swirling whiskey in a crystal glass while flying on a private jet or smashing cake into the face of a waiter for bringing his wife the wrong order.

The Magnificent Seven
(2016)
|
Glynis Costin
|
The infinitely likeable Pratt, who plays wisecracking Irish hustler Josh Faraday is definitely one of the highlights of this entertaining (yet somewhat violent) Western, offering both comic relief and guy-next door sex appeal.

This is a moving and truthful examination of one family's sorrow and dysfunction and their resigned acceptance that some losses can never be replaced.

Rules Don't Apply
(2016)
|
Glynis Costin
|
In a season filled with heart-wrenching, disturbing, and depressing films (many of them excellent, mind you), Rules Don't Apply is a fun and welcome escape.

Nocturnal Animals
(2016)
|
Glynis Costin
|
Of course, it's all very symbolic -- with death, love, art, betrayal, and revenge seamlessly intersecting and crisscrossing on every level, resulting in two distinct tales about hollow, gut-wrenching ache.

It has everything hard core Star Wars fans want -- a feisty heroine, comic relief, quirky and unlikely heroes, incredible sets, and a soaring score.

Take your niece, your daughter your next door neighbor's daughter, heck your mom -- and relive this tale as old as time. Believe me, no one will be gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining.

Battle of the Sexes
(2017)
|
Glynis Costin
|
Battle of the Sexes is an entertaining, fun, sometimes touching, and sometimes enlightening look at the world of tennis, the struggles of sexual identity, and the sexism of the time.

Solo: A Star Wars Story
(2018)

Even without Ford's sideways grin and whiskey edged roughness, Ehrenreich's got enough swagger and bravado, cool cockiness, and sex appeal to pull it off. And he's fun to watch.

Guillermo Del Toro, takes the story of this unlikely duo and makes it not only believable but sorrowful, lyrical, mystical, mythical, strange, and, well, magic.

I, Tonya

The stellar performance here, though, is Janney's. With her harsh brunette bowl cut, oversized glasses, scowling expression, and spewing expletives in every scene, Janney is nothing short of riveting.

He's smart and sincere as the closeted, gay teen protagonist who just wants to find love and come out on his own terms. As an actor, Robinson could be the next Ansel Elgort.

Theron's unshakable cool is a pleasure to watch, as is the art direction, characterized by bursts of red (a phone booth, a flag, blood!) against the film's gray backdrop.

At times the dialogue feels a bit trite or maybe too familiar... But watching Winslet fully inhabit Ginny from despair to hope to despair again, is well worth it.
