FILM REVIEW: THE GODMOTHER IS NO MISDEMEANOR
The Godmother is a simple yet effective crime caper, carried by Huppert and Nguyen's addictive performances.
"The Bee Gee's: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" goes behind the boogie.

FILM REVIEW: "A Dog's Purpose" is your usual feel-good tear-jerker fare
A Dog’s Purpose: Heartwarming, heartbreaking and trying just a little too hard.
Manchester by the Sea: A heartrending portrait of grief and depression
