Beauty and the Beast (2017)
Exquisite Adaptation
Disney really got one right in this case. The artistry is beautiful, the acting and casting is impeccable, and Disney was able to hit the important social lessons with just the right balance without being heavy-handed. It does the original animated film justice while adding more dimension to the story and further fleshing out the characters, ultimately without changing important details of the original. The music was also handled perfectly, adding new songs with the same flavor as the original while not remixing the original songs into awful parodies of themselves. This is the only film I have ever attended that got two rounds of applause after it ended. It is worth seeing on its own merit, and is also a fun nostalgic walk down memory lane for those of us who were young when the original came out (and the movie knows it, and gives more than a couple subtle nods to this).
I Know You're in There (2016)
Worth a Watch, but nothing incredibly exceptional
This movie deserves higher than a 4.5. The premise is great, there is a good creepy vibe to it, the story is intriguing. But that being said, it does have its issues. It takes awhile to get into, almost everything interesting happens in the last half hour of the film, and nothing is explained, because the film didn't seem to know which way it wanted to twist. I didn't find the acting to be terrible, but I did think the main character was much too unlikable. His girlfriend was much easier to root for than he was. I wouldn't suggest spending the money to buy it, personally, but it is definitely worth the couple of dollars to rent.
