One of those hipster indie films that starts off with a bang but is quickly overshadowed by its own attempts at cleverness.

“Fatale”
Mindless thrillers are one of my favorite guilty pleasures, but this one is just too uninspired to recommend.
“The King of Staten Island”
Not your average coming-of-age tale, but its sincerity resonates with more meaning than others.
“Standing Up, Falling Down”
This story of two loners who find friendship through their flaws will make you smile, even in its most predictable moments.
“On the Rocks”
The frivolous plight of affluent city dwellers tends to ring hollow, so thank the movie gods for Bill Murray.
“Holidate”
Far from a perfect rom-com, but it’s a close to ideal distraction for a winter night at home, snuggled on the sofa in pajamas with a glass of Chardonnay in hand.
