#8 Jack Reacher 2, American Pastoral, Cafe Society
Halloween has passed. That means the ‘good’ Hollywood movies begin entering our theaters. We begin with the Tom Cruise vehicle Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, wondering if it can compete with its predecessor. We continue with the newly actor-turned-director Ewan McGregor’s adaptation American Pastoral. Can such a comprehensive view of a family falling apart be handled well with the actor? Lastly, we look back a bit earlier in the year to Woody Allen’s latest film Cafe Society. The surprise here is that one of us really loved the film.
