"In the Heights" Review
Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.

The story takes place in the provinces in the 1970s. The narrator, Gaspard, a 17-year-old teenager, keeps a daily account in his diary of the homophobic harassment of which he is the victim. His tormentor is a student from his high school, Georgia. She is an emancipated girl who lives in a community with her brother Francis and his biker friends. In high school, Georgia does nothing. She is judged by the school administration as a delinquent seed, a sort of neo-Nazi amazon, an irredeemable sheep who spends her recesses smoking Craven A., drinking from her silver flask with suspicious contents and reading exclusively the novels of her favorite writer: Louis-Ferdinand Céline.
Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony-winning musical translates beautifully to the screen.
A refreshing twist is that all the kids’ powers are…kind of useless. There’s a kid who can only move in slow motion, a kid who has every power in the world but can only use them randomly, and our main character Missy who has no powers at all. The thesis of the film seems to be that it doesn’t matter what kind of powers you have, its the way you use them, which is good for the warm and fuzzies.
A K-9 police dog goes undercover to stop an illegal animal smuggling ring and learns a valuable lesson along the way.
Hutch just wanted a family vacation, but chaos follows him everywhere. Nobody 2 is violent, stylish, and over-the-top in the best way possible.
The makings of a great midseason filler episode that would connect in many different directions. This is a police drama filler with a guest director.
'Kajillionaire' is a touching and eccentric story about family, crime, and the search for belonging.
