Doctor Strange (2016) **

An average action movie starring Tilda Swinton and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Rules Don't Apply (2016) **

Another film about Howard Hughes, but nowhere nearly as good as "Melvin And Howard" or "The Aviator".

The Lobster (2016) **

Demolition (2016) **

Jake Gyllenhaal looses his wife and suffers from a nervous breakdown.

Eye In The Sky (2016) **

Tense drama about a drone mission. Manipulative, but effective.

The Prison In Twelve Landscapes (2016) **

A film about the prison and its life in the American landscape: from a California mountainside where female prisoners fight raging wildfires, to a Bronx warehouse full of goods destined for the state correctional system, to an Appalachian coal town betting its future on the promise of prison jobs.

Jean Of The Joneses (2016) **

The lives of 25-year-old Jean Jones and her multi-generational, middle-class Jamaican-American family of strong-minded, stubborn yet loving women, come to an arresting stop when an estranged grandfather dies on the doorstep of the family’s brownstone. Tensions rise and old conflicts come to a boil as Jean uncovers the family’s buried secrets.

Gods Of Egypt (2016) **

Moderately entertaining action movie about Egyptian gods battling it out to control the world. As good a lesson in Egyptian mythology as Disney's "Hecules" was in Greek mythology, but otherwise a routine effort.
