Writer/director Mike Mills has crafted a formally beautiful and rich story where the female characters progress but resist the urge to become predictable or less complex throughout our time with them

It’s an unfinished assembly of much better movies such as “Donnie Brasco” and “The Departed” and movies that also star Jamie Foxx like “Miami Vice.” The title “Sleepless” seems to have no reference to anything that happens in the movie. The best I can figure is that it’s a question; unfortunately for “Sleepless” it also provides an answer.

“Split” is further evidence of M. Night Shyamalans mastery fashioning maddening echo chambers for his characters

Gunn and Co. want to take us back to those moments of adoration and joy that concluded our viewing of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) best and most original entry “Guardians of the Galaxy.” 

 Nelson Henderson famously said “the true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.” Kurosawa bathes us in the light of a man who gets to not only plant the seed, but look out on the sapling, with contentment.

About a month after seeing James Mangold’s wonderful and moving “Logan” I was scrolling through the Netflix queue and stumbled upon a film that shares the same ethos; to project fantastical superhuman abilities through a very human lens.

Alex R. Hibbert, Ashton Sanders and Trevante Rhodes perform the trinity of essential passages in Chiron’s life in “Moonlight,” Barry Jenkins’ Oscar Winning Best Picture for 2017.

“Personal Shopper” is a film with the power to beguile and send you into a rage. Whenever a Cannes Film Festival audience boos a film, it's most definitely worth your time.

What makes “Loving” such a refreshing and enthralling viewing is that it does not magnify the participants for the sake of the tale to tell a Hollywood version of their trial and its enduring contribution to race relations and civil rights in the U.S.A. Nichols creates a beautifully dignified portrait of people whose ethics and good nature speak more volumes than any kind of extrapolation.

“The Pledge,” directed by Oscar winning actor Sean Penn, is a devastating portrait of an ageing detective who makes a promise to bring justice to a child murderer. It’s  “one last ride” for our leading character Jerry Black (Nicholson), until he abandons the case and retires. It examines a man trying to relinquish his deduction instincts in exchange for a slippery grip on a ‘normal’ life.

"Ghost in the Shell” melted minds in ’95. The questions of what a soul faced with an upgradable body went on to influence the film that ultimately eclipsed it; “The Matrix.” The Wachowski’s synthesised cyber-punk and explored technological symbiosis in an epic - and one could argue - genre defining way.

"Chavlier" is a time bomb of a film, that doesn’t really hit you until the countdown timer runs out as the credits roll.

I’ve come to coin the phrase “auto-redundancy,” to describe the entire genre. However, “Snowtown”  director Justin Kurzel has re-teamed with his “Macbeth” star Michael Fassbender for Assassin’s Creed; a property that in concept alone fins a way into the lure of inhabiting another powerful person

 Welcome to "Dance Academy" the critically acclaimed children's T.V show that's finding new life and new stories and all new stakes for the characters Tara, Kat, Abigail, Christian, Ben and Ollie as young adults.

"Life" does everything you want a space movie to do and for the most part is smart as hell... except when a scientist briefly tickle taunts an alien. 

As Edward Norton’s Narrator from “Fight Club” is being embraced by Meatloaf’s Robert “Bob” Paulson, a sufferer of testicular cancer with ‘bitch tits,’ the voice over says following: “And that was where I fit...between those huge sweating tits that hung enormous…” That masculine and yet tender bosom is what it feels like when you’re an ultra Batman fan watching “The Lego Batman Movie.”  

“Kong: Skull Island” is big action film, with big ideas with a deep ensemble that becomes something more than big dumb fun.

His former partner Marcus Skidmore (Tony Cox) is released from prison and wants to pull together the old crew to refresh the old scheme; this time adding Willie’s mother Sunny Soke (Kathy Bates) into the mix. It’s fitting that the star of “Misery” is here for the torture that follows.

“Project Eden Vol. 1” ends with a cliff-hanger that entices but it’s hard to say whether it’s earned. To paraphrase Rudyard Kipling; hopefully what they dreamt up, has not made them its master because it only leaves a triumph or disaster. 

“A Few Less Men” is a farce, and makes no pretence about it.
