Movie Review: THE EDGE OF SEVENTEEN

Capturing the pain that comes with growing up in a meaningful, compelling way is no easy task. Films that showcase one of the most unforgettable periods of life – the pivotal point between childhood and adulthood – oftentimes are completely forgettable themselves. This year, however, fans of independent cinema were treated to The Edge of Seventeen, the directorial debut of Kelly Fremon Craig. Rich, authentic performances and a compelling, genuine story drove this small-scale film to critical acclaim and it is one of the best films of 2016.

Movie Review: NOW YOU SEE ME 2

Now You See Me was a personal guilty pleasure of 2013, it was absolutely unpretentious and unbelievable but it knew it was so and with the help of a talented cast and a couple of good characters and story beats it turned out as a fine time at the theater. Its sequel starts out with the same unpretentious and fun vibe of the first only to slowly escalate up to what becomes one of the most lifeless and visually painful experiences of the year.

Movie Review: TRIPLE 9

A great ride, one of those that reminds you why the police-crime drama genre has never, ever left the silver screen and why after decades it still remains as timeless and engaging as ever, why its potential for thrill is so high and when delivered right what it can achieve. Triple 9 certainly has some of that, it isn't by any means a revelation nor a revolution on the genre, but it is damn well worth its time.
