Catch Up Post

Yes I have been busy, but not enough to stop going to the movies all together. Here just a catch up post of what I've seen:

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2/5)
Peculiarly Quirky but not Particularly Deep.

Queen of Katwee (3/5)
A feel good movie with great preformance and a lot of heart.

Deepwater Horizon (3/5)
Exactly what you expect and better than you thought it could be.

Birth of a Nation (3/5)
A strong drama with a terrific lead preformance that treads very familiar ground.

Middle School: The Worst Year of My Life (2/5)
It has a hidden, and very powerful, layer of depth that is ultimately suffocated under what this movie is marketed as.

The Accountant (3/5)
An unconventional narrative with a rich level of character depth if your willing to wait for a payoff.

Keeping up with the Jones (1/5)
Typical, unfunny, cinematic paste.

Inferno (1/5)
Directed without heart and falls apart under the logic it thinks holds it together.

Doctor Strange (4/5)
A well directed visual and thematic extravaganza, who's greatest sin is fitting into the marvel formula.

Trolls (2/5)
A bold concept that lacks originality.

Hacksaw Ridge (5/5)
A visually an emotionally powerful that stirs inspiration and hope out of horror and triumph.

Almost Christmas (1/5)
Few well directed scenes are undermined by a script whose purpose is to derive conflict at all cost.

Arrival (4/5)
A slow burning Science-Fiction story that both visually significant and thematically rich.
