Director Sam Taylor-Johnson and writer Matt Greenhalgh team up to tell the story of Amy Winehouse, a rising jazz star who burned out far too fast.
Fans of Winehouse will delight in Marisa Abela's performance as the contemporary jazz queen. However, the film feels like it is lacking in several dimensions of Winehouse's life. Regardless, the actors take the audience on a gripping journey.

Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt star in David Leitch's newest film "The Fall Guy." Based on the 1980s TV show by the same name, this movie takes a look at what happens behind the cameras to the stuntmen who make all the movie magic happen.
Gosling plays Colt Seavers, a stuntman who relishes his career. He's in love with the filmmaker Jody Moreno (Emily Blunt). But a freak accident sets back not only Colt's career but his relationship. When they reunite a whirlwind of unresolved feelings and literal chaos ensues.
Is "The Fall Guy" and action movie? Yes. Is it a rom-com? Absolutely. Is it kind dumb? 100%. But we would gladly watch it again and again.
Listen to our review to hear why.

Does Lightyear go boldly were no Disney-Pixar film has gone before? Not really. But the film is leaving critics and fans divided, including us. Chris Evans voices Buzz instead of Tim Allen. The movie is not exactly tied to the Toy Story universe. But it does boast a new slate of characters that are very memorable – including one sweet robo-cat.
Find out why Lightyear is creating a buzz in this review.
