Captain Fantastic (2016)






Director: Matt Ross

Who's to tell what's right or wrong in this world? Does it make you weird if you choose not to follow the general rules? Lately, we've all been told to think outside the box and find uniqueness in everything we do. But how far can we go without raising some eyebrows? "Captain Fantastic" salutes this freedom of choice and puts the effects of consumerism and third industrial revolution into perspective.

Fifty Shades Darker (2017)



Director: James Foley

How would you describe your perfect romantic film? Is it a heart-breaking love story like "A Walk to Remember", classic coming-of-age films with attempts of finding your true self through love ("The Perks of Being a Wallflower"), or a series of passionate outbursts that never lead to anything permanent as shown in "Head in the Clouds"? The Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy has probably shifted your expectations, and now plain, cliche type of relationship is not enough. There's gotta be something spicy as well.

Hacksaw Ridge (2016)







Director: Mel Gibson


What is the motive behind a war? Do we kill others to protect our freedom or is it because someone else told us to do so, and we're just correcting their mistakes? In fact, history has shown us that it is enough to push one bottom to make an explosion. But what is it that makes us so revengeful and point the guns at people who themselves haven't done anything wrong? Is it the courage or willingness to show the whole nation that you are a modern-day savior? To be honest, people have reacted hotheaded far too many times, and we could've saved so many lives if not the stubbornness and pride of some. Fortunately, we haven't been doomed yet thanks to those few people who stand above the bandwagon and make us maintain faith in humanity. Desmond T. Doss was one of them, and "Hacksaw Ridge" is here to tell us his inspiring story.
