Cut Bank (2014)



A young man's life is unraveled after witnessing a murder that he filmed in his rural town of Cut Bank.

Nicely made thriller on Coen Bros. territory has a great cast and a lot going on, but seems a bit lazy and tired.

Hacksaw Ridge (2016)



WWII American Army Medic Desmond T. Doss, who served during the Battle of Okinawa, refuses to kill people, and becomes the first man in American history to receive the Medal of Honor without firing a shot.

Both heartbreaking and very violent, if not a bit patriotic celebration of a man stay true to his conviction; very well staged and performed, the war scenes are quite horrific.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010)




Master sorcerer Balthazar Blake must find and train Merlin's descendant to defeat dark sorceress Morgana le Fey.

Colorful nonsense offers lota of incomprehensive magic and action and fairly little romance, but is clearly intended for an audience of kids.

Maltin**1/2: "Formulaic but enjoyable-enough mix of large-scale action and humor..., ostensibly inspired by the famous sequence in Disney's FANTASIA. Wittiest part of the film is the inventive use of Manhattan locations, from Wall Street to a ledge on the Chrysler Building."
