The Maze Runner

What I liked:

• Dylan O'Brien can hold his own as a leading man.
• It has a large supporting cast: Aml Ameen, Ki Hong Lee, Blake Cooper, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Will Poulter, Dexter Darden, Kaya Scodelario, Chris Sheffield, Joe Adler, and Patricia Clarkson.
• It's an imaginative story, entertaining and action packed.

Love is Strange

What I liked:

• John Lithgow and Alfred Molina are outstanding.
• It also stars Marisa Tomei, Cheyenne Jackson, Manny Perez, Christina Kirk, Charlie Tahan, Eric Tabach, and John Cullum.
• It has an interesting premise.

The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby

We are going to do things a little differently...just like they did.

What I did't like:

• The trailer is extremely deceiving.  I went in thinking that we would see her side/his side and that it was a modern day romantic tale.  Not the case.
• It wasn't until I got home that I found out that there are three versions on this film.  Two were allegedly released last year - Him and Her versions.  What I saw was Them.

• If you had never seen the trailer and went in cold to see this movie, you will probably think that it was well done, just very depressing.

This Is Where I Leave You

What I liked:

• It has one of the best casts of the year: Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Jane Fonda, Adam Drive, Rose Byrne, Corey Stoll, Kathryn Hahn, Connie Britton, Timothy Olyphant, Dax Shepard, Debra Monk, Abigail Spencer, and Ben Schwartz.
• Cade Lappin is super cute.
• Everyone had great chemistry on screen.
• Their lives are a messy and real.

The Drop

What I liked:

• Tom Hardy is mesmerizing on screen.  He's lovely to look at and a fantastic actor.
• This is James Gandolfini's last role.  
• Matthias Schoenaerts was a nice surprise.
• John Ortiz!
• It was an interesting story.

The One I Love

What I liked:

• The story is fun, interesting, intriguing, twisted, sad, and delightful.  It makes you think.
• Mark Duplass and Elisabeth Moss are wonderful as usual.  They have great chemistry on screen.
• Ted Danson!

If I Stay

What I liked:

• I think Chloe Grace Moretz is on of the best actresses of her generation.
• Jamie Blackley was great as Adam.
• It also starts Mireille Enos, Joshua Leonard, Liana Liberato, and Stacy Keach.
• The story flows pretty well even with the back and forth between time.

The Hundred-Foot Journey

What I liked:

• It's a cute story.
• Helen Mirren is wonderful.
• Manish Dayal and Charlotte Le Bon are both lovely to look at and really good actors.

The Trip to Italy

What I liked:

• It's a sequel to The Trip and follows the same rhythm, so if you like The Trip, you should like this.
• Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon have great chemistry.  
• The food looks good and sites are stunning.
• It's funny.  You wish you could eat with these guys at every meal.
• There's a nice shout out to Alanis Morissette.
