    I'm a sucker for these coming of age, surviving the horrors of high school-type films. I don't know if it's because I sort through my semi-unresolved traumatic growing up years as I watch the protagonists survive teenage hood. But I do think the plots seem formulaic and cliched in the most correct of ways.

    Snack Shack is solidly acted, and like the director's previous film, Dinner in America, the characters are relatable and you feel invested in their journeys particularly…

    For some odd reason, a causality or my efforts to go into this film knowing as little as possible, I didn't realize Nicholas Cage in it.

    Unil now. He was that good.

    This one is going to stick with me and haunt me for awhile.

    Honestly, I had delayed seeing this because I had had my share of bloated, two and a half-hour-long comic book films, but I'm glad I saw it in the theatre.
    This is an amazing piece of cinema that could (and largely does) stand on its own without the built Marvel Universe backstories it has at its disposal.
    It's a genuine epic, and so far, my favorite movie of 2017.
