The Purge: Anarchy
I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I did not see the first Purge before, but was already interested when I saw that this one recieved better reviews than the other one. Solid movie about human worth and human character. And killing. Lots of killing of people who deserve it.
7/10
the Giver
Again, a pleasant surprise. When the movie started with "sorting" of teenagers and I had also just seen Divergent, I was yelling "Oh for fucks sake! Someone needs to travel back in time and convince J.K. Rowling that the sorting-hat is a terrible idea" inside - but the movie had some pleasant surprises in store that made me enjoy it more than Divergent. Bottom line is that the Giver is very well acted and while the overall story-arc may not be surprising - the little enjoyable stuff (like the visuals) makes up for it.
7/10
Only Lovers left behind
I?ll never be a "fan" of Jim Jarmusch, but his movies have their qualities. If I look past the typical Jarmusch-style of story telling this is a small jewell just for the acting. Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston are simply sublime in this movie. The Story is a bit thin, but you can follow it along just to indudgle in acting and atmosphere ...
