"Pretty": Metecan Duren's Ambitious Horror Debut Shows Promise
New horror film "Pretty" is good to look at thanks to 19-year-old director Metecan Duren.

Clovis has eight hours in which to move his household to a tonier apartment. Fortunately, he has his uncle and a circle of good friends to help him get settled in before his girlfriend arrives from England. This bittersweet French slice-of-life film follows their struggle to get the job done in time. The friends include two outspoken women, the clumsy younger brother of his friend, a good-humored bank clerk, and a reserved young man who works at a local mortuary. Later the workers are joined by a Swiss violinist who has come to Paris for an important audition.

Overall this movie was an easy watch, but by no means a worthwhile watch.
The second film takes us on Peter's journey to be understood.
Shadow & Bone excels in natural story representation with powerful centering of culture. Jessie Mei Li stars as Alina Starkov, the feisty cartographer with kindness, innocence, and integrity, who comes to be revealed as the legendary summoner of light.
I highly recommend Kill Bill: Volume 2. In classic Tarantino fashion, specific sections of the film are a tad too long, but overall, it’s a wonderful piece of escapist fiction.
