Movie Review: 'Marshall'
Marshall stars rising superstar Chadwick Boseman in the role of legendary Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. Set years before Marshall rose to be one of the most respected judges in the country, at a time when black people were still fighting for civil rights, Marshall is a terrific introduction to the man. Boseman, future star of Marvel’s Black Panther, demonstrates the supreme intelligence and charisma that Marshall no doubt possessed as he came up through the ranks of the NAACP to become a leader.

Rob Reiner's LBJ
Rob Reiner's latest film LBJ is a political historical drama that shines a light in Lyndon Baines Johnson that not many knew of. Woody Harrelson stars as the titular character, giving new life to a president not many liked (including Reiner himself). The film follows Johnson from his days as majority leader, to becoming Kennedy's running mate, the assassination of Kennedy, and leading a nation during a most tumultuous period. The cast includes Jeffrey Donovan as the handsome JFK, Michael Stahl-David as his younger and disgruntled brother Bobby, and Jennifer Jason Leigh as a loving and supportive Lady Bird Johnson.

Transformers Movie Review
Transformers Movie Review It’s time to review where it started, Transformers numero uno. In fact some say this is the best of the movie saga. The movie has great pacing and great story. However there isn’t a lot of action (for a Transformers film) and that’s to be expected.

I, Tonya
October 9 saw the US premiere of Craig Gillepsie's latest film I, Tonya at the Hamptons International Film Festival. Starring Margot Robbie as the titular role and Sebastian Stan as her manipulative husband Jeff Gillooly, the film is a dramatized documentary about the figure skater Tonya Harding. As she rises among figure skaters in the US Championships leading to the Olympics, her husband intervenes in an unorthodox way. I, Tonya focuses on the Nancy Kerrigan (portrayed by Caitlin Carver) incident where she was struck in the knee by two men hired by Harding's husband and her ex-body guard.

Baby Driver (2017) Review
From the director that brought you Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Shaun of the Dead, brings you one of the most high-octane movies of 2017, Baby Driver. This movie is a breath of fresh air in a world of high budget CGI laden blockbusters. With a budget of $34 million, this movie has done more than any other in a long time. It kept me invested until the end.

My Boyfriend Makes Me Watch Ridiculous Movies: Bloodsport
Rico has a list on his phone of movies we are required to watch together. I’m feeling pretty satisfied that I can accept whatever he throws at me after watching Team America: World Police. I don’t know what any of these movies are about, but we’re here to watch them and I’m here to judge.

Ray Milland Dials M for Murder Without Messing His Suit or Moving a Hair out of Place
There was a time when murder and infidelity was civilized and didn’t require a lot of blood splatter to get the point across. Alfred Hitchcock can definitely remind if you choose in Dial M for Murder.
