An absolutely gorgeous nature-type film in the vein of Jean-Jacques Annaud's films The Bear, Wings of Courage, and Two Brothers, Brothers of the Wind is a stunning achievement with its footage of eagles in peril.
One of the unheralded coming of age dramas of all time, Vincent Ward's Vigil is certainly not for all tastes, especially if you're not used to watching films from around the world.
I loved it because it made me laugh hard, and no matter how studiously anyone on earth may try to duplicate a great "bad movie," they'll never be able to duplicate this great bad movie. It's just ... perfect. If you can watch it with friends or a crowd, I highly - very highly - recommend you do so.
An intriguing erotic mystery based on a novel by Max Ehrlich, The Reincarnation of Peter Proud "peters" out a bit by the end, but the journey Proud takes to find out who he evidently used to be is the fun of the movie.
The Incredibles 2 has been worth the wait and arguably even surpasses the original in many ways. See it with the family again and again.
The film has aged remarkably well thanks to pitch perfect performances, sharp writing (by Rob Shelton, the film's director), and a great sense of time and place.

The movie's complete lack of momentum and excitement is occasionally alleviated whenever the creature shows up, but even then it's difficult to stay excited for more than a moment or two at a time.
The plots are pretty thin, but the heart is there, and if you're a fan of regional horror indies, then The Violence Movie collection is for you.
Ocean's 8 is not without its moments and the cast play their parts well but the way some scenes go on too long and lack of stakes make it a movie I wouldn't rush to see again. Wait for Netflix.
