    Heretic

    ★★★

    A terrifying, captivating horror movie in which two missionaries end up in the company of a lunatic that uses his intellect to argue about religion, beliefs, all while hiding some dark secrets about himself. A thriller that keeps viewers invested all the way to the end.

  • Sing Sing

    Sing Sing

    ★★★½

    A heartwarming tale about a group of men who bond with each other by participating in a play, and communicating and sharing their lives with each other. Terrific performances, especially from Colman Domingo. Would’ve liked to have seen the play shown in full, but overall a solid film.

    Whiplash

    ★★★★

    A movie that shows the intense world of the jazz music scene that features a drummer that aims to make a name for himself in the music industry. Miles Teller brings a powerful performance, and he really brings the intensity, the drumming, and the emotions to this movie, while being mentored by an equally very intense teacher played by J.K. Simmons that seeks to push musicians to the furthest of their boundaries. Terrific performances from Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons, and very good music throughout the film.
