    ★★★★½

    “Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.”

    I don’t know why there’s even a debate as to whether Die Hard qualifies as a Christmas movie but it pretty much includes all that you’d expect in one, just with that Bruce Willis action flare. As a first-time watcher, I went into this movie completely blind to anything; plot, characters, etc., and I really loved it.

This is what modern musical movies of today should emulate: a beautiful soundtrack, memorable scenes and a plot that keeps the audience in…

    ★★★★½

    “In this business, the moment you catch feelings...is the moment you catch a bullet.”

    Of course, the first and most obvious comment to make about this is to compare it to Drive (2011) featuring Ryan Gosling as The Driver. Yet, in its own right, Baby Driver is a wonderful mix of romance and action. Miles’ childhood trauma causes him to be stuck in an endless loop of driving, listening and stacking up cash before finally deciding to take the reins.…
