The Farewell was a great movie. Awkwafina gave an excellent performance in the film. Very Oscar-worthy. Best dramedy I've seen this year. I give this one 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommended. Please watch this movie if you haven't seen it yet.

1917 is the most amazing war drama I've seen this year. The action and the cinematography are breathtaking. The best war movie I've seen this decade since Dunkirk and American Sniper. It's about two young British soldiers who are given an impossible mission and cross through enemy territory during World War I. This is director Sam Mendes' best work since American Beauty and Skyfall. Oscar-worthy in so many ways. A wondrous film to watch. A film to be treasured in a visual way. I give this 4 out of 5 stars and a powerful snap. Highly recommended in my books. Go see this movie! You'll love it and enjoy it a lot!

Just Mercy was the most triumphant film I've seen this year. Great performances by Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx and Brie Larson. This is a true story about young lawyer who defends a man who is falsely accused of a murder he didn't commit. In my opinion, this film was a little predictable but enjoyable and informative. This film reminds me a little bit of The Hurricane.  Very inspiring and powerful.  This film truly deserves an Oscar nomination especially Jamie Foxx's emotionally charged performance. I give it 4 and a half out of 5 stars and a huge snap. Highly recommended and worth the watch.

The new Little Women is amazing, inspiring and heartwarming.  Director Greta Gerwig did a wonderful job putting her twist on the classic novel. Saoirse Ronan gives another Oscar-worthy performance as Jo March. Great supporting performances by Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, Laura Dern and Meryl Streep. I've really enjoyed it and loved it. Just as great as the 1994 film version. Perfect for all ages. The costumes, art direction and the original score were fantastic. This film packs a lot of girl power and delivers the message of following your dreams and telling your own story. I give this film 5 out of 5 stars and a beautiful snap. Highly recommended for those who are fans of the classic novel. If you're gonna see one great book-to-film adaptation this weekend, make it Little Women.  It's worth the watch.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was the most exciting sci-fi movie I've seen this year. Way better than The Last Jedi and just as great as The Force Awakens. A great way to end a trilogy and a beautiful way to end a long-running saga. It was so great to see Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Issac and Adam Driver reprise their roles from the last Star Wars movies. It also paid a great tribute to the late Carrie Fisher. The special effects and the cinematography were absolutely amazing. This is movie is truly a Star Wars fan's dream come true. I give it 4 and a half out of 5 star and an intergalactic snap. Highly recommended for anyone who love Star Wars a lot. If you're gonna see one great film this weekend or this holiday season, make it Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.  I've really enjoyed watching it and so will you.

Bombshell was one of the most intriguing and powerful films of the year. Great Oscar-worthy performances by Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie. This film is about three women who come forward by being sexually harrassed by former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes. John Lithgow was excellent as the former Fox News CEO. Director Jay Roach did a great job directing this film. This is one movie that will make you think about the subject matter at hand. Very enjoyable and informative. A powerhouse movie with a great cast and an interesting plot. I give this 3 and a half out of 5 stars and a big snap. I would recommend this to those who love powerful true stories. If you haven't seen this movie yet, I advise you to do so. This is one movie you have to see during awards season.

Uncut Gems is one of the most powerful movies I've seen this year. Very provocative and enjoyable. Funnyman Adam Sandler gives an Oscar-worthy performance in this movie. His best dramatic role since 2002's Punch-Drunk Love. It's the true story of a New York City jeweler who makes a series of bets that could lead to his downfall. In my opinion, this is Adam Sandler's very best film yet. A very strong Oscar contender. Great supporting performances by Lakeith Stanfield and Idina Menzel. I give this 5 out of 5 stars and a shiny snap. Highly recommended and worth the watch. This is one of the movies you should watch during awards season. If you haven't seen this movie, please do so.

Queen & Slim is one of the most important films of the year. Great performances by Daniel Kaluuya and Jodie Turner-Smith. Powerful and dramatic.  This is the story about a black couple who go on the run after killing a white police officer in self-defense. Melina Moustakas did an excellent job directing this film.  5 out of 5 stars and a huge snap. Highly recommended by yours truly. If you haven't seen this movie yet, please do so.

Spies in Disguise was a great action-packed animated comedy. Very hilarious and adventurous. Will Smith and Tom Holland were excellent and funny together. This is a film about a super spy who turns into a pigeon and saves the world from a villainous half-human/half-robot. The best animated action film since The Incredibles and Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse.  Great plot and great voiceover cast. I've really enjoyed it and loved it. I give it 4 out of 5 stars and an explosive snap. Highly recommended for anyone who loved animated action movies. If you're gonna see one great animated film this holiday weekend, make it Spies in Disguise. It's worth the watch.

21 Bridges is the most exciting and suspenseful action thriller I've seen this year. Chadwick Boseman gave an electrifying performance as the lead in the film. He plays a NYPD detective who goes on a manhunt to find two young cop killers. In my opinion, this is Chadwick Boseman's best action film role since Black Panther. The action was non-stop and keeps you guessing until the end. I give this one 3 and a half out of 5 stars and an explosive snap. This is recommended for those who love a good action flick now and then. If you're looking a great action movie to watch this weekend, make it 21 Bridges.

Harriet was a very good historical flick to watch. Cynthia Erivo did a great job playing abolitionist Harriet Tubman. Her role in the film is so Oscar-worthy, powerful and exceptional. Great supporting performances by Janelle Monae and Lamar Odom Jr. One of the most powerful movies of the decade. Director Kasi Lemmons did an excellent job directing this intensely moving true story. I give it 4 out of 5 stars and a powerful snap. Highly recommended for those who love great historical dramas. This is a great movie to watch during Awards season.

Knives Out was awesome! Absolutely the best mystery movie I've seen in years. Way better than Murder on the Orient Express. Very funny and suspenseful. Plays more like a mystery thriller than an ensemble comedy. Great cast and great plot twist. It's about a detective who solved the murder of the patriarch of a wealthy, dysfunctional family. Amazing performances by Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Michael Shannon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Lakeith Stanfield, Ana de Arnas, Toni Collette and Christopher Plummer. Rian Johnson did an outstanding job directing this film. For me, I'll get it 4 out of 5 stars and a suspenseful snap as in good. Highly recommended for those who love great mystery movies. If you're gonna see a great mystery film this holiday season, make it Knives Out. You'll have a great time watching it.

Ford v Ferrari was one of the most original films I've seen this year. Great performances by Matt Damon and Christian Bale. They make the perfect dynamic on-screen duo. This is the true story about two men who build a car that's fast enough to beat Ferrari in the 24-hour Le Mans in 1966. Very Oscar-worthy. This is director James Mangold's best film since Walk the Line. The cinematography was beautiful. I give this one 4 out of 5 stars and a huge snap. Highly recommended for those who love racing movies. If you're gonna see one great racing movie this holiday season, make it Ford v Ferrari. I've really enjoyed this movie and so will you.

Jumanji: The Next Level was very predictable, funny and action-packed. It was very enjoyable and fun to watch. It was so awesome to see Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gilman and Jack Black to reprise their roles as the fictional characters in the video game world of Jumanji. The funniest scene stealers in this film were Danny DeVito and Danny Glover. It's just like the last Jumanji film but only different. I give this sequel 3 out of 5 stars and an adventurous snap. I would recommend this one to anyone who love the Jumanji movies.
