‘Baby Driver’ review: Visionary

Baby Driver is a film that I said I wasn't sure I would watch in my "Movies Coming Soon" post at the beginning of this month. It stars a cast that I'm not wild over, especially Ansel Elgort, who looks kind of wimpy for a leading man (an impression I can't get over from his cowardly role in the Divergent series), though I don't mind the rest of the actors. This is a movie that is built around the soundtrack, and as I'm not such a huge music lover, that didn't appeal to me either.

I haven't done this in a while, so I figure out it's a good time to start again. But instead of doing it in three-month chunks, which can be very daunting because there are so many movies to talk about, I'll do it monthly so it'll be more manageable. Besides, release dates change all the time, especially for smaller movies, so doing it monthly will make it more accurate.

‘Divergent’ review: Watch for hot actor

Going into Divergent, I had very little idea what to expect. While nothing beats Twilight for terrible story (that still inexplicably earned hundreds of millions of dollars and literally devil-spawned four equally successful movie sequels), Divergent had a convoluted-sounding plot that made me never want to read the books, so I was skeptical of how good the movie could be.
