MOVIES- Worth a Rent or Don't Even

1. ASHBY - Y/A (Young Adult genre)

A charming movie about a likable hit man befriended by his next doory neighbors; the new kid on the block.  Mickey Rourke guns the role of the perfect mass murderer with a conscience.  Teen heartthrob, Matt Wolf (The Fault in Our Stars) & Emma Stone are the 2 outsiders in their high school who connect with each other.
RENT IT-

2. BURNT

Even a foodie would hate this chef's melodramatic meltdown.  Bradley Cooper & Sienna Miller couldn't save this crispy disaster.  In fact, I think they couldn't wait to get out of the kitchen.
DON'T EVEN

3. THE DRESSMAKER (An Australian Indy Film)

This Indy film from down under stars Judy Davis, Kate Winslett & hunk Liam Hemsworth.  Well worth your time to see this quirky, stirring & heartbreaking creation.  Banished as a young girl from her small hometown & blamed for the murder of a classmate, Kate Winslett returns as a sophisticated, couture dressmaker to make some major adjustments.
RENT IT!

4. MAD MAX

I watched this apocalyptic abomination starring Charlize Theron for 15 minutes which was 14 minutes too long.  The Academy has gone rogue considering this road warrior film anything other than recycled trash.  In terms of makeup, kudos for making one of the world's most beautiful woman almost unrecognizable but as for costumes & set designs the filmmakers were out of their minds.
DON'T EVEN
