Amanda Knox (2016) ★★☆☆☆
With the current climate of ubiquitous true crime stories comes an account of alleged murderer Amanda Knox. The film is not nearly as interesting nor as captivating as it should be.
Hell or High Water (2016) ★★★★☆
An exceptional heist neo-western set in the modern American frontier.
The Conjuring 2 (2016) ★★★★☆
A blockbuster, terror epic of a ghost story but lacking the near perfect, raw potency of the original film.
The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016) ★★★☆☆
The film’s ingenious premise appears to be its own undoing.
The Handmaiden (2016) ★★★★☆
Director Chan Wook Park adds to his growing collection of graphic and provocative cinema. This time around he seems to let violence take a backseat to sexuality and what results is a stunningly contemporary and classical period film. It’s a thought provoking study on the nature of uninhibited carnal desires and unlike his previous works, both tone and narrative style is quite Japanese in nature.
Passengers (2016) ★★★★☆
This is one of those films that people are either going to love or hate. It hit all the rights spots for me to the point where I can’t believe some of the terrible reviews this film has garnered.
