Fight Club

Fight Club is a sexist portrayal of workplace dissatisfaction. I don't care to hear arguments about why women are inessential to the Fight Club plot because I don't care. I understand that it's just a story and it's completely fantastical but I still have a lot of issues with this movie and a lot of it has to do with the lack of women in this movie as well as its representation of the only female character.

Tallulah

Once the audience realizes the main plot of Tallulah, the movie really becomes a question of who is going to get in trouble for this, because in this (a little bit ridiculous) movie, there is just no way it'll end with the child being returned to her mother while also none of our main characters getting in legal trouble. That said, I do think this movie does a good job at keeping the audiences attention even though the ending is pretty predictable.

Cafe Society

Cafe Society is an amazingly entertaining movie. I love the way Woody Allen tells this story; there's so much more to make an interesting story out of when the timeline of the story covers a whole half a lifetime. Woody Allen proves that it's absolutely okay to only hit the main parts and the story still works.
He does an amazing job directing his actors-- there is so much good chemistry between them and the intended vibe flows seamlessly throughout the movie because all the actors are on the same page.

Suicide Squad

Yes, Suicide Squad is as bad as critics are saying, but that doesn't exactly mean that it's completely un-enjoyable. Yes, it's a jumbled mess, but it's still fun for fun sake if you like that sort of movie. It's a good movie to shut off your brain for two hours and enjoy fun colors and familiar actors and loud exploding fight scenes-- don't expect much beyond that.

Captain Fantastic

This is hands-down the best movie I've seen all year. I cannot recommend Captain Fantastic enough. I was thinking about this movie for weeks after I'd seen it, purely because it's filled with so much that I want to aspire to. It's something I've never seen before and it's executed in a way that was completely new to me. A family living in the wilderness and completely independent of the outside world although they are totally aware of it-- I can't think of a better plot to convey the important messages that Captain Fantastic does. It is my quintessential family film. Nothing in this movie was bad. I probably loved this movie so much because I agree with pretty much all of the ideology that is presented to be our main characters' beliefs. I love that they only use bows and knives to kill animals. I love that, while they have intense physical training and are incredibly fit, they also have scheduled time to meditate. I love that they are taught to resist 'the man' but in a smart and non aggressive way. I love this hippie, hyper-intelligent, rouge family and you should too.

Swiss Army Man

My roommate and I have been waiting for Swiss Army Man to come out since before 2016 even began. I was so excited to see this movie I checked my Fandango app almost every week starting in April even though I knew the release date. Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe together in the same movie? Just thinking about it was blowing my mind. As much as I was neutral about Ruby Sparks, I love Paul Dano. And I watched "Thorns" and realized Daniel Radcliffe is so much more than his Harry Potter persona. This kid is a weirdo and Paul Dano is a weirdo and I was dying to see them in a movie together. I showed the trailer to this movie to so many people I created a niche group of people who were obsessed with this movie at my college. Every weekend I was hoping there would be some cool, early release around me that I could go see. My friends and I were so hyped to see this movie and let me tell you, it did not disappoint.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

Allow me to preface this with the fact that I knew how this movie was going to end before I started watching it, and I meant to watch this movie because I felt like I wanted to cry, I just didn't think it would be nearly as sad as it actually was. The main character is the son of some level of Nazi commander and they move to a new house with a concentration camp basically in their back yard. It's not like, right there in their backyard but they can smell the people burning and they can see the smokestacks and the smoke that comes from when they burned the Jews. So this  little boy naturally wants to go exploring and finds this concentration camp but of course he doesn't know what the hell it is. He finds this little boy sitting by the fence and he's wearing the uniform Jews had to wear in concentration camps and that's where the name The Boy in the Striped Pajamas comes from. This movie doesn't end well at all and I suggest if you have any love for children don't watch it. Don't even try it because you will want to die at the end of this movie.
