Top 10
The Handmaiden- Visually stunning, exciting, perverse, dramatic,
humorous, surprising and erotic. You can’t take your eyes off the screen.
The Witch- highly original and very scary in a minimalist way.
Hidden Figures- Uplifting true story of the African American women
that helped the Space program
Moonlight- unique glimpse into a black American experience that is
captivating and extremely moving.
The Man Who Knew Infinity- Little known true story of an Indian
math genius that is remarkable and features fine acting by Dev Patel and Jeremy
Irons.
Zootopia- Animated story that is hysterically funny, visually
stunning and slyly gives a great morality lesson.
Captain Fantastic- Highly original and offbeat tale of a father
raising his six kids in a very unconventional way.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story- Exists beautifully between episodes 3
& 4 of Star Wars. Even though you know the outcome this sci-fi war/heist
movie is a great ride.
Honorable Mention
Miss Sloane
Sully
Hell or High Water
Sing Street
Bottom 10
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice- a boring mess
The Legend of Tarzan- Did anyone see this besides me?
The Girl on the Train- Just ridiculous
Allied- could it be any less boring or unsexy
Hail Caesar- rare miss by the Coen Brothers but great dance number
with Channing Tatum.
Midnight Special- a disappointment by Jeff Nichols but he redeemed
himself with “Loving”.
Miles Ahead- Don Cheadle would have been better off with a
different director and a better script.
Demolition- What they should have done to the film.
War Dogs- not terrible but overindulgent
The Magnificent Seven- Boring remake. Just an excuse for actors to
play cowboy. You don’t mess with the classics.
