Black Bear (2020)
Black Bear is a dark, gritty, mysterious, thriller type movie that might leave you thinking "what did I just watch?" but in a good way. Per usual, Aubrey Plaza is incredible.

Locked Down (2021)
If you can get through the first hour, the payoff is there if you enjoy heist movies.

Outside the Wire (2021)
Anthony Mackie is fantastic & there are some good twists. But it is way too long & the pacing is off. By the time the ending comes around, you likely won't even care anymore.

I Carry You with Me (2021)
At times this movie is a bit hard to watch, not because it is bad, but because of the reality it is showing us.

Emperor (2020)
a powerful film that is based on the real life story of an escaped slave named Shields Green. However, most of it feels forced and exaggerated.

Pieces of a Woman (2020)
Pieces of a Woman is a hard watch emotionally, but it shows how people deal with grief differently and is a must watch.

We Can Be Heroes (2021)
This action-packed movie teaches kids, and adults, positive lessons like embracing who you are, working together as a team, & anyone can be hero - no matter their size!

The Midnight Sky (2020)
Visually stunning, but that is about it. The Midnight Sky drags on and there is no character development. By the time the big reveal comes, you just don't care.

A fantastic journey from beginning to end with both Tom Hanks and Helena Zengel giving what are sure to be award winning performances.

Promising Young Woman (2020)
Carrie Mulligan carries this movie and helps shed light on an important subject -- but some of the twists and turns fall flat and leave you wanting more.

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Pedro Pascal proves once again that this is his year. Full of action & heart, WW84 is more than worth the wait. Clearly made for the big screen, but delivers on the small one.

I'm Your Woman (2020)

Tenet (2020)
The story & plot are super intriguing and quite clever. Once you hit the end of the film, it's all tied up in a neat little bow, proving itself to be more than worth a watch.

Archenemy (2020)
Certainly not perfect, but certainly not awful either. Falling somewhere in the middle, Archenemy is still worth a watch.

Songbird (2020)

Wander Darkly (2020)
More than worth watching for the journey it takes you on. Wander Darkly just might make you reevaluate your own relationships, and why you began them in the first place.

Echo Boomers (2020)
A fun crime drama film -- if you try not to take it too seriously. While it does have its flaws, it is certainly more good than bad.

Anything for Jackson (2020)
It goes off the rails in the last thirty minutes, but pulls it together with a more than satisfying ending. The demons and gore make this worth watching more than once.

Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020)
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is truly a masterpiece of a film. Chadwick Boseman holds his own up against Viola Davis with a powerful final performance.

The Lighthouse (2019)
Too artsy, too far fetched, and by the time we get to any reveals, well, I just don't care anymore. The only reason this gets a 1 out of 5 instead of 0 is the acting.

Black Beauty (2020)
Kate Winslet's emotionless voiceover is too much like a narrator and causes disconnect between the viewer and Beauty.
