Baby Driver (2017)
Edgar Wright has proven himself to be one of the most unique and creative living directors today and the man has only honed his craft to deliver a great spin on a classic crime tale about love, and redemption. “Baby Driver” is a remarkable turn for Wright who creates a pulp masterpiece. “Baby Driver” is a powerful and emotional tale about a truly engaging protagonist who is sinking in to a world of violence and murder, and has no idea how to get out. We’ve seen movies about getaway drivers before, but “Baby Driver” works to the benefit of Wright’s strengths including dynamic characters, sharp humor, and amazing editing.
L’Argent (Money) (1983): Criterion Collection [Blu-Ray]
It’s utterly amazing what one small gesture can do to affect another person’s life. “L’Argent” isn’t so much a crime drama, though it does involve a crime, but it’s more a tale about how every choice creates a ripple, that have an important affect. Director Robert Bresson takes the first part of Leo Tolstoy’s posthumously published 1911 novella “The Forged Coupon” and uses it for the basis of a story about the downfall of various people, all the hand of a forged piece of currency.

You Get Me (2017)
Netflix’s newest original film is a derivative and silly “Fatal Attraction” wannabe that wouldn’t even pass muster in a discount movie theater. “You Get Me” feels shockingly dated, almost like something released in 2001, and barely skids by as background noise. Its narrative is achingly paper thin to the point where the movie submits itself to endless montages filled with silly club and dance music. Even the finale is botched with a ridiculous ode to “Sunset Boulevard.” Director Brent Bonacorso struggles very hard to deliver a modern day digital version of “Fatal Attraction” when it barely registers as a “Swimfan” clone.
