Bad Santa
Late to the party watching this as never watched the film properly to enjoy it. I would say for a 90 minutes film, it is good for what it is, not to be taken too seriously. A very rude offensive comedy that even the grinches will enjoy. You can really feel for the character that even though Billy Bob Thornton has a bad exterior he has a warm heart really once you get to know him. Watched number 2 soon after and it didn't leave up to the hype as the 1st one like alot of sequels do so won't go in detail about that.
May December
Both Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman played their roles well in this film. The film is short of 2 hours, but would feel longer and lengthy as it is a slow paced film. This is based on the Mary Kay Letourneau scandal that rocked the 90's and a screenplay about a female teacher that was caught having relations with a underage student and spent time in prison. The film is after this period.
Due to the nature of the film, it is uncomfortable to watch in some parts. Natalie Portman role is a actress who visits her to get first hand insight in portraying these events in an upcoming film. Film won't be for everyone's taste, in particular anyone who been a victim of this.
Emily The Criminal
A crime film which i didn't expect Aubrey Plaza to play well in as i am so use to see her playing comedy roles. She plays as a criminal who you would still root for as the ends justify the means and how due to her current standing in live as resulted her doing a life of crime, credit card scams in particular. The 90 minutes will go very quickly in this.
To Catch a Killer
I'm a huge Shailene Woodley fan, ever since i first saw her in the Divergent film series years ago, so i maybe a little bias in saying this was a good film, and shows the range of her acting abilities. She plays a troubled cop who has been assigned by the FBI to track down a killer who been on a spree in Maryland. You get to see alot of blood, emotions in this film which you will lose track of time. This maybe a copy of all other films out there thats done similar, but this has good depth in the story and the ending i found very brilliant.
Tar
Another film which is quite lengthy, 2 and half hours in fact so i won't be surprised if people are unable to watch this all in 1 go without breaks, i couldn't. The film is a bit slow, especially at the start, but it does pick up pace somewhat later on. A good film where the lead Cate Blanchett a composer is accused of misconduct
