Movie recommendations

A lot of time on planes means catching up on a lot of movies. I lucked out and watched some amazing films. My favorite of which was a Scandal-like film about a D.C. lobbyist. A close second was George Clooney's Money Monster. I've decided to never pay to see a movie again since in a few months I could see them for free on a plane AND pass the time more quickly. Win/Win!

Miss Sloane: Per IMDb: In the high-stakes world of political power-brokers, Elizabeth Sloane is the most sought after and formidable lobbyist in D.C. But when taking on the most powerful opponent of her career, she finds winning may come at too high a price.

Eye in the Sky: Per IMDb: Col. Katherine Powell, a military officer in command of an operation to capture terrorists in Kenya, sees her mission escalate when a girl enters the kill zone triggering an international dispute over the implications of modern warfare.

Moana: Per IMDb: In Ancient Polynesia, when a terrible curse incurred by the Demigod Maui reaches Moana's island, she answers the Ocean's call to seek out the Demigod to set things right. **I watched this only because I promised Jocelin Porterfield that I would if it were available on my flights to Hawaii and since it was, I couldn't break that promise. It was actually pretty cute!
