Live By Night

Live by Night is a real Mobster Masterpiece,Ben Afflick and a stellar cast make for a brilliant tale of one mans effort to even the score. this movie really was a great story of  right and wrong and justice. It follows Joe Coughlin and his competing gang the Ku Klux Klan set in Boston Massachusetts.

Ballerina was an excellent animated feature with wonderful animation and a very moving story of chasing dreams and hardship. It was beautiful both visually and also a moving tale although a little cliche underdog. As a 3D artist I was impressed by the quality as it came from a relatively unknown studio.

xXx: Return of Xander Cage

xXx: Return of Xander Cage

XXX was a new IP once upon a time, this time was no different, new stunts, new talent, new action sequences and an old hollywood action great. Vin Diesel really has made his own personal brand and a mark in hollywood history but like many in the movie madness business goes relatively unnoticed.

I really enjoyed this for what it was, even the cheesy moments and some poor VFX didn't take away from the eXXXperience.

Assasins Creed

For me this was a very cliche action movie with a few good moments based off of a much more in depth game. The style was well accomplished but overall I felt the story and sense of the moment was often lost.

Collateral Beauty

He's a nice guy, I like his movies, not many people read this.
He's a super good friend and person, sits with me, talks about the movie and life, death and time.

The Edge of Seventeen

A great story about the troubles of puberty and the struggles of life growing up as a teenager, Halee Steinfield was outstanding in her portrayal of a self absorbed disgruntled teen. Woody Harrelson was also great as a school councilor. The Edge of seventeen really proved to be a beautifully shot story of a young woman's dramatic life growing up.

Passengers

Passengers was a little bit castaway and a little bit of space adventure all wrapped into one, it follows the story of Jim Preston (Chris Pratt) aboard an spaceship destined for earth two. Jim Preston wakes up early from hibernation to find out he has woken up 90 years too early, waking up his companion Aurora is a tough choice to make, knowing she too will be subjected to his fate of being the few passengers awake among a sleeping cargo. A great twist on a very typical Sci-Fi tale.

Moana

Moana was a really amazing visually stunning movie, the technology and artistry that goes on at Disney is really world class, much like it's Japanese counter-parts. The jokes and story were really fantastic. This was well worth watching.
