Jason Matthews top-notch spy thriller of Russian and American operatives recruiting each other under the watchful eyes of their KGB and CIA bosses. The damaged Russian ballerina of the title was particularly well drawn as the main protagonist.
Very good adaptation of the book. I even believed in Jennifer Lawrence as a prima ballerina. Difficult subject matter was handled better than in most such films.
Jeff Johnson’s wonderfully different werewolf tale. More a mystery/adventure than a horror story, Jeff uses the werewolf strength and sense of smell like super powers in sleuthing out the truth or to manipulate those who are after him.
Unusual heist movie sold by Ansel Elgort and Kevin Spacey.
Tom Cruise tour de force story of drug-runner Barry Seal. Entertaining.
Fine remake, but missing Rutger Howard’s performance and containing some logic gaps that press your willing suspension of disbelief.
Well-made detective thriller, where the fish-out-of-water FBI agent is paired with the wilderness-savvy local hunter to unravel an Indian homicide.
Terrible sequel to the pilot Kingsman movie, with unlikely motivations and events throughout.
Jeff Johnson crime story about a serious fixer, Ray, who’s universally targeted by clients and criminals, but has the planning and watchfulness to remain alive. Jeff manages to weave a love story amid a lot of mayhem to leave you waiting for a sequel.
Careful recreation of the Stephen King classic that made us all afraid of clowns.
