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.

American Ultra

Stoner Kristen Stewart and stoner/assassin Jesse Eisenberg? And they're a cute stoner couple? Yes please. So in. I was so in from the second I heard anything about this movie. Maybe it's because I've been dying to see Kristen Stewart finally be awesome in a movie because I think she's awesome in general. Maybe it's because I saw The End of the Tour the same week I saw this movie and, as I aforementioned in my review about The End of the Tour, I was not a fan of Jesse Eisenberg's character in it and I really wanted to see him in this innocently clueless role. Regardless of why this movie caught my attention so quickly, it did, and I was a thousand times satisfied with what I saw.

The End of the Tour

Everyone's heard of the self-destructive creative archetype and how that story has been told a million times before in a million ways, but none of it really seems that different. The End of the Tour is another one of those stories, but somehow it did feel different, and maybe it wasn't and I'm placebo-effecting myself because I saw it in a small county theater that shows two movies a week that almost no one has heard of (the Google description says it focuses on "independent, art, and foreign films"), but even if it wasn't any different from the other movies that tell similar stories I still thought The End of the Tour was a great movie and a compelling story.
