This week it was either Daddy’s Home 2 or Murder on the Orient Express, a choice that pit Mark Wahlberg against Dame Judi Dench for my attentions. You might think that choice would be obvious and had Mr. Wahlberg worn something sleeveless in the trailer, I would have been helpless. But as it happened, Daddy’s Home 2 is a Christmas film, all sweaters and snowsuits, so it’s off to Murder on the Orient Express for me. I’d rather watch Kenneth Branagh than Mel Gibson anyway.

The Florida Project is one of those rare movies that is short on plot, but heavy on realism. Sean Baker proves that he should be regarded as one of the best character directors working today. The Florida Project feels completely unscripted, and that’s what makes it so great. As an audience member, you get the feeling that a camera was just placed in these run-down Florida hotels and they just filmed real life situations. This is truly 2017’s Moonlight, and not one that you want to miss. Read more

![The Great Wall: Clunky but Original & Refreshing with a Subtle Max Brooks Influence [Review]](https://i0.wp.com/www.foxforcefivenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/The-Great-Wall-Movie-2016.jpg?resize=720%2C300&ssl=1 "The Great Wall: Clunky but Original & Refreshing with a Subtle Max Brooks Influence [Review]")
This week it was either the 146 minute long A Cure For Wellness or the much shorter The Great Wall. Naturally I gravitated towards the film that had Matt Damon and monsters, which sounds like a very appealing combination to me. Apparently (according to Wikipedia) this was released in China a few months back and then finally released here. From what I gather it wasn’t all that critically acclaimed, here or in China (at the time I saw it, Rotten Tomatoes gave it 40%) but did it really deserve that rating? Read more
