Downton Abbey

The Crawley family and staff continue life at Downton Abbey. It is now 1927 and the King and Queen are paying a visit...what could possibly go wrong?

This was a lovely epilogue that will thrill and delight the fans of the PBS television series.

**** MUST SEE (for all Downton fans)

Rated PG (for thematic elements)

Hustlers












An unexpected tale about how the economical crash of 2018 impacted the "working girls" of Wall Street.

Based on a true story so I guess the history is what it is, but I wanted this to be better. I wanted the women to be smarter, and more superior at hustling than they were portrayed.

Not amazing but semi-entertaining.

** Rentable

Rated R (for sexual content, language and drug use)

The Peanut Butter Falcon

A young man, who is a ward of the state, runs away from his care center. Along the way he meets up with an outlaw who is determined to help him realize his dream of becoming a professional wrestler.

Although somewhat predictable, this slightly edgy dramady is very well done. The dialogue is fun, witty and fast - faintly Aaron Sorkin-esque.



Sweet and poignant, the story defines what "family" should mean.

***1/2 - Must See

Rated PG-13 (for thematic content, strong language and violence)
