While we are a few days in to a new year, it's still not too late to look back on the year in cinema for 2017. While everyone has been presenting their best film lists of last year (with my own to be forthcoming), the Los Angeles Times has presented a couple of articles that highlights great movies and performances that many people may have missed. Tre'vell Anderson has put together seventeen film performances that were outstanding but will most likely be overlooked during award season. Some of these, which I agree wholeheartedly, include the amazing work of Salma Hayek ("Beatriz at Dinner"), Rebecca Hall ("Professor Marston and the Wonder Women"), Betty Gabriel (the maid in "Get Out"), John Cho and Haley Lu Richardson ("Columbus").

Some of the films picked that I had wanted to see but sadly missed (but plan to catch) include "Menashe", "My Friend Dahmer", "Ethel & Ernest" and the docs, "California Typewriter" "Obit" and "Ex Libris: The New York Public Library".
