Fantastic Beasts and where to find them - I don't often rate movies 10/10, but this movie was beautiful on every level. Emotional characters, all with their own individual nuances. An unforgettable soundtrack from James Newton Howard which reminded me so much of Casper which I also loved. As someone who didn't really take to the HP movies, due to lack of sheer emotion and an emotional soundtrack, I found this movie to be the polar opposite. Overall just a lovely film that I can't wait to own on blu ray. - 10/10

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Lion (2016) - A five-year-old Indian boy gets lost on the streets of Calcutta, thousands of kilometers from home. He survives many challenges before being adopted by a couple in Australia; 25 years later, he sets out to find his lost family.

Very emotional and true story despite the Hollywood-ized ending. 8/10

Midnight Special (2016) - 7/10

The premise was interesting, and the pacing kept me on the edge of my seat; however, lots of questions went unanswered, and the acting was spectacularly dull (many of these actors were miscast, IMO). Still, it was an entertaining way to pass 2 hours.

Jack Reacher II 6\10

One of my least favorite films of Tom Cruise in recent times... Cliched and predictable.

The Girl with All the Gifts 7/10

A different take on the Zombie genre and a cast with some "big" names ( Glenn Close , Gemma Arterton ..) , but some pretty big plot holes and actions that simply didnĀ“t make sense keep this movie from ranking higher for me.

Morgan 7/10

Have a soft spot for Kate Mara , and with all the other well know cast members I was expecting something... different. I suspect that if the it was a bit longer , it would have time to develop both the characters and the storyline .

Hidden Figures (2016) - Based on a true story. A team of African-American women provide NASA with important mathematical data needed to launch the program's first successful space missions.

Competently, if maybe a little too conventionally told account of the unsung women behind NASA's early space program. 7/10
