film it's shot beautifully and chemistry worked and i love jennifer lawrence and chris pratt together starts sov strong. and really well done. it did not require that type of ending it became action movie but i loved drama and romance part ever more. i gave the movie 3 out of i five and then not worth paying full price and lover two actors and three out of five and basically c grade on scale. next up assassins creed and this is film starring michael fast bender based on video game franchise it's a new story though. michael fast bender plays leading character in movie who threw a system called anamus able

yu setting or during spanish inquisition and fantastic movie. and michaelle williams known for wire. i found it way too confusing i did not play this video game to me a movie that has to be well done has to transcend to all audiences not just gamers. i gave it 2.5 out of 5 and next up " why him" i'm excited about this brian canston and starring in rhawn. ing comedy franco's character is dating his dawts and he'

was hoping she would choose. the movie itself very, very r rated. i was laughing out loud the entire time again not for kids but it is a really funny film at times. michael key ton is great and griffin gluk as well standout performances and so many moments you will be laughing out loud. i love seeing brian cans nop this role. i was a "breaking bad" fan and i give it 4 out of 5. hilarious and again not for kids. next up with citizen sdel washington based on august wilson play. cool thing about this denzel and viola did this snow on broadway together. . denzel is directing the screen play and it involves a family 1950s pittsburgh as father strulings with trying to provide for the family and keep everything together and incredible performances

viola dave he is and denzel work tan this scene alone is great to see in theaters. it's intimate and important at times and i think the performances are amazing and viola davis will win academy award i think for supporting actress this year for this film. denzel will be nominated for best actor i think it will go to manchester are by the sea. and highly recommend seeing fences. timely hidden figures one of the most important films of 2016 and this movie is exclusively opening at regal gallery place christmas day in d.c. and couple other place around the country. but goes everywhere on january 6th. this is story of three african-american whom are main brains behind nasa first successful space mission specifically focusing on john glenn and it's beautiful story octave yaws spencer and music by farrell is

by farrell it's inspiring and emotional. i'm not going to lie i cried at the end. it's a feel great when you walk out takes story i can't believe was never told i knew nothing about the story and neej did cast members we'll hear from them coming up here. i give that movie 4.5 out of five. highlyly recommend seeing that movie it's a very, very, inspiring film by the way ferrell music every music he wrote are fantastic. you will sing them when you leave the theater. 016 another great year for me being able to interview holest stars. coming up i go one-on-one with a-list actors including denzel washington and brian canston and jennifer lawrence, stay tuned.

>> denzel washington being able to sit down with this gentleman one of the greatest honors and grew up devsh and training day and "man on fire" and fences was fully directing and starring in the film and he played this character on broadway and but when you wept back and watched some of the broadway footage in the broadway scene this particular moment you're watching now there was laughter from the audience because of some of the lines he was saying. when you watch in movie it's serious and intimate and in your face and i wanted to know why he thinks it plays differently in fronts of a stage audience versus a movie theater. listen to this. >> you actually answered when you answered question you said in your face. because now we're here. and see in a play you sit back five rose, 20 rose, 50 rose back and both actors like say you're audience we have

it in a way you see us a little bit right as we talk. which whatever configuration we're playing out. so the intensity now in film you and i talking now and audience there and less intensity and when the camera gets here now now it's like bit more intense and it actually builds and i went a little harder. >> interesting. >> that's what i had different takes and that's the one i chose those are the ones i chose. >> one of greatest actors of all times you haven't seen manor fire that's my greatest role and the first i ever spoke to him they were ratting me out. i wish we had more time. he was cool about it and started laughing. he's ray really, really awesome guy to talk to. knows film well we were talking about spike lee as well and malcolm

highly recommend seeing it it will really, really make you think when you leave the theater. i hope people see it very beautiful and important film. next up "sing street" number four you may say i never heard this movie. because it didn't make hardly any money at the box office this is available on netflix by the way and "moon flight theater rz by the way" this is teenager that starts a band to impress a girl he likes. simple story. music in this movie is what makes it so fantastic. it's wonderful and catchy and director from "one" it's irish film and really wonderful film. when you hear the song riddle of the model, drive it like you stole it, you might not know those now once you watch the movie you'll be downloading sound track i guarantee it it's available on netflix stream put a big massive smile on your face. i love this film so much. next up is number three of year i'm going backwards i guess so

this noovry incredible. ryan gooseling and emma stone will win best picture at the oscars this year. no question, 31-year-old filmmaker damian gazelle who did "whiplash" this is as meiering mu circumstance playedly ryan gooseling who is really playing the piano he learned to play it for this role and originally were going to hire hand double but they -- he learned everything they have shots to pull out of his hands cool how they do it and emma stone plays as spiring actress this is five out of five in theater irz now prepare to see this win best picture at the oscars in 2017 next year. next up, "arrival" well this movie i've seen it twice now. this film makeer is unbelievable. prisoners, enemies, he is doing the next blade runner movie. i have not seen a bad film from this director yesterday yet this is amy

renner amy's khak ter is ling twoyingt try to transwhite aliens are saying and why they came to earth. ending is still blowing my mind. 7 week later. i can not stop thinking about this movie i've talked to my friends about it a long time it has best film score of 206 and i just really feel like it's a movie that sticks with you and that's does he fining quality of great film. all right number one film of year i'm sure you can guess it is "dead pool" to me it's why movies are great. this is movie made on lower budget considering superhero again ra and necessity is mother of invention. so many things were done because of lesser budget. it's brilliant, funny, action packed, passion project from ryan reynolds who plays dead pool in the movie and it's a movie that works. the rewatchbility on this movie is amazing i seen it eight or

nine times and loved it and loved batman versus superman. it was a great year for superhero films. coming up next look ago head to 017. what are some of the films i cannot wait to the geek out about in 017. this one righting there you can probably guess what it
