Ever After (1998, dir. Andy Tennant)
Cinderella was real. Find her in Da Vinci’s yellowed sketches: a downcast, gentle gaze. Love roots between gilded thievery and servant lies, a tryst of two kindred minds. Imprisoned, yet headstrong, they learn softness, compromise, & trust.

Mad Max: Fury Road is one massive u-turn
Mad Mad: Fury Road is a film that takes us on a trip filled with explosions and spectacles. We go on this journey just to return exactly where we started. There is no story to tell. The lack of direction isn’t enough to satisfy the hunger for a good storyline.

It Belongs In A Museum
In his third, but not final outing as the titular Harry "Indiana" Jones, Harrison Ford returns as the whip-cracking, globe-trotting adventurer who must find the silver chalice. Directed by Steven Spielburg, it's every bit as fun as Raiders of the lost ark if not a bit long for its runtime.

Jaws
A quiet evening at the beach, the soft lapping of water on the shore, an ominous, Pavlovian tinkle of a bell on a buoy, two repetitious tuba notes signaling ill portent, the dark presence of something stirring in the water, just below the surface, it wants to eat you, NOW!
