- DirectorJon M. ChuStarsAubrey SheaStefanie ScottAurora PerrineauAs a small-town girl catapults from underground video sensation to global superstar, she and her three sisters begin a journey of discovering that some talents are too special to keep hidden.Was hoping to take me back to my childhood and remind me of the cartoon....apart from a singer in a pink wig; I didn’t feel this connection. Not a great story, cheesy, nothing of substance. Overall it bored me. 2/10

- DirectorZach BraffStarsMichael CaineAlan ArkinAnn-MargretDesperate to pay the bills and come through for their loved ones, three lifelong pals risk it all by embarking on a daring bid to knock off the very bank that absconded with their money.Loved this; three legends in a witty movie.

- DirectorJaume Collet-SerraStarsLiam NeesonVera FarmigaPatrick WilsonAn insurance salesman/ex-cop is caught up in a life-threatening conspiracy during his daily commute home.Pretty much ‘Taken’ on a train...felt like the same character. Not too bad but probably quite forgettable. 6/10

Deadpool) assembles a team of fellow mutant rogues to protect a young boy with abilities from the brutal, time-traveling cyborg Cable.Hilarious...myself and the rest of the audience laughed out loud. Loved Reynolds as Deadpool. Cracking jokes and soundtrack with some gory bits. Definitely want to watch again. 10/10

When Emily contracts a mysterious illness, Kumail finds himself forced to face her feisty parents, his family's expectations, and his true feelings.For me this started slow...it improved slightly but I wouldn’t rave about it.
