Journey’s End Movie Review
The acting is superlative to a man. Sam Claflin as the company’s leader, Captain Stanhope, shows the signs of what is now known as PTSD. He has witnessed too much horror and experienced too much loss to continue as a well functioning human being.

The Girl in the Spider’s Web Movie Review
Gone is the intricate detective yarn, where detailed research and some kick ass computer hacking leads to finding the villain. In its place is a big dumb American style action piece. The kind where the most implausible and physics defying scenarios are played out to keep our hero out of major harm’s way. Damaged and slightly singed but not broken.

Bohemian Rhapsody Movie Review
Rami Malek is transcendent as Freddie Mercury and he does a great job of carrying the film on his slender shoulders. He is in almost every scene and if he felt any pressure, his performance doesn’t show it. He is so natural in the spot light and the camera loves him.
//
The dramatic structure of the film is so well thought out that even with the warts and all retelling of Mercury’s life’s story, it feels more accomplishment than tragedy. You feel the loneness ...
