Jailhouse Rock (1957)

For one widowed father and his five kids, an extraordinary gift will change their lives forever.

The film is bogged down with one-off rain monster threats that always come to a quick and undramatic end

This short film was an overall creative success.

This side-splitting workplace comedy features a diverse cast and tackles challenging social issues. Other sitcoms should take note.

In all actuality, “Just Mercy” should be labeled a “wall punching narrative.” Constantly, the flick throws high forms of adversity our way, amping up our most inner levels of discomfort. Filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton wonderfully paces the film in such a way that replicates the slow-burn nature of justice.

The Force Awakens is A New Hope 2.0, in essence. The story structure is virtually unchanged, marking a safe opening to the new trilogy.
