Must See
Black Panther astounded critics and fans. The first film of the year to breach 1 Billion dollars. It is an amazing movie and one of Marvel’s finest to date.
Here is my review of Black Panther brought to you by Jumpcut Online

Aristotle Full Throttle has some amazing content. Highly recommend his other discussions. However, if you need a quick taste of what he is all about, check out his review on Youtube.
Livia was kind enough to let me share here review. Quick to the point and very fair. Recommend checking out the link and the website below. A lot of good content.

Use Caution
Early Man – While not completely devoid of life, it would seem you are better off waiting for this one (if you must see it at all).

The Party- Not nearly the fun you thought it was going to be I assure you.
I had the displeasure of watching this film.

Forget it exists.
Samson– Despite having a decent looking trailer. The film fails in all other aspects.
Nostalgia- While it’s been a reclusive film, it’s not impressing the people who have seen it. Best avoid it.

I’m hearing a lot of positives from this film. That it may be the most popular and funniest film to come out in years.
The good people of Jumpcut Online have a review for you.

Annihilation–
Every year there seems to be a movie or two that the critics absolutely love, but financially it never wins over the mainstream audience. The majority of people love this film. It has been divisive in smaller circles, but the overall stance is positive.
With these dividing films, I strongly encourage you to watch them come up with your personal thoughts on the film. Chances are it will have some artistic/cinematic merit worth mentioning.

I’m going to have some fun here. These films below are ones I don’t recommend you watch.
Use Caution (You can watch these films, but don’t tell them I sent you.)
Every Day- Every Day I will hope for a better movie.
The Cured- If only they could cure this film of its flaws.
Forget it Exists
The Lodgers– Don’t let any part of this movie become lodged in your brain.
