‘A Quiet Place’: One of the Best Modern Horror Movies
Rather than following in the footsteps of poorly made horror flicks, “The Quiet Place” follows original concept.

After the Kosovo war devastates a young couple's homeland and their dreams for a normal life, they set out unexpectedly from the Balkans, along a wild journey to rebuild their lives anew in America. Arriving in California amidst the peak of a housing boom that would soon burst, the film reveals their trials and tribulations over five years of turbulent economic, political and personal tides, revealing a provocative and unorthodox depiction of the American immigrant experience.

One of THE most frustrating trends in the mainstream film industry over the last several decades has been the onset of comedy efforts that seem SO focused on being crude and/or gross-out in all ways possible. That, at least for me, makes them no longer funny.
With 'The Last Movie Stars,' filmmaker and fanboy Ethan Hawke cracks the facade of Hollywood's last golden couple, but reveals a couple who were committed to each other before all else.
Sweetheart provides a stark example of self-isolation taken to its extreme.
Overall this movie was an easy watch, but by no means a worthwhile watch.
