[tps_title]Rachel Greiger’s Top Midyear Picks in Movies[/tps_title]
- Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
Thomas Mann was absolutely incredible in this film–as were all of the other young actors (and actresses) in this movie, but his particularly stands out. The wit and emotion that remains consistent from start to finish is bound to stick with you long after viewing it. Additionally, the film references are hilarious and are sure to please movie lovers specifically. However, the pure emotional aspect of it will likely please everyone else.
- Spy
Melissa McCarthy is one of my favorite actresses. Yes, sometimes she plays the same character and it gets old after a while. But this was a film that showed us why we thought she was so funny in Bridesmaids. It’s not the best film ever made, but it will make you laugh, which is something we all need every once in awhile.
- Love & Mercy
This isn’t your typical biopic, and I love the use of Paul Dano and John Cusack here. Yes, there have been biopics that have more than one actor portraying the celebrity in question. In my opinion, it hasn’t been done like this before. Dano really impressed me, and Cusack was no slacker either.
- Cinderella
This one isn’t overly impressive in terms of how critics have responded to it. But I can’t help but love it because it’s such a gorgeous update on the classic tale. I also love how the movie uses the theme of kindness. I think it sends a really great message to little girls everywhere. Really, though, the scenery is so amazing.
- Dope
With this breakout performance, Shameik Moore has proven that he is an incredible young actor who is certainly bound to be recognized after this film. It has so many hilarious and clever moments that keep you glued to the screen from start to finish. It’s not the best coming-of-age movie I’ve ever seen, but it still tells a fresh side of growing up.
