One Night (2016)
Charming indie romance for the books
I thought 1 Night was definitely a tender film that is perfect for the casual date night. It strikes a good balance between the bittersweet romance and the pains of coming of age, two themes that I have always found to be poignant in a movie. As the two love stories intersect, each couple learns about the complexities of love at different stages of a relationship, something we can all relate to. I also thought it did a great job putting a surprising twist at the end which made it stand out from other romance indies. I won't give anything away, but it's definitely a movie that had me thinking long after it ended. It follows in the path of Perks of Being a Wallflower and 500 Days of Summer in terms of quirkiness and charm. Overall, I thought it was a sweet, touching watch that is great for anyone who is looking for a thoughtful new movie.
Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies (2016)
A new, quirky spin on the classic zombie movie
A worth addition to the zombie spoof genre, Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies does a fantastic job of retaining the theatricality of slasher films and blending it with colorful twists that I thought were both unique and fun. The heroes are a ragtag trio of snowboarders whose chemistry is something I haven't seen in many movies before. The plot takes a thrilling turn as the gang finds themselves trapped on the Alps in a log cabin bar surrounded by zombies poisoned by a rogue science experiment. They then must devise imaginative ways of battling the undead as they try to make it to safety. The movie does not fall short on its graphic scenes of decapitation and laceration. Though I am not usually a big fan of slasher films, the violent scenes were done in an entertaining and classic horror way. And I loved how all of it was paired with catchphrase dialogue, slapstick fun and solid character development. A surprisingly lighthearted comedy punctuated by timeless zombie graphics, Attack of the Lederhosen Zombies was a good choice when I was looking for an easy and entertaining watch.
