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

A frustratingly micromanaged popstar who dreams of the “ordinary” that life has to offer finds herself torn between her celebrity ex, the machinations of her controlling manager, and a developing romance with a down-to-earth record store owner.

Despite everything it was capable of, all of these poor choices strung together amount to nothing more than a counter-productive film.

'Reservation Dogs' is stacked with an array of Native American performers and crew telling their own story.
