White God (2014)
 The story follows Lili & her dog Hagen. As her mother going on a long trip to Australia, she left her to live with her estranged father Daniel; who works in a meat/animal processing farm & can't much stand the dog around for various reasons. And eventually Lili got devastated when her father forcefully sets Hagen free on the streets and soon the homeless pet realize how much uncertain life can be in its every steps in the cruel world outside. The story gradually then took a sad but scary progression of Hagen's descent into madness through various masters & captors including the forced training of how to kill in dog fights. But at the end...every dog has its day! This multiple award winning Hungarian film not only just a revenge fantasy about animal cruelty but also effectively depicts a symbolic portrayal of abused underclass and a cornered downtrodden rising up against the oppressors. Recommended. >>: A- Still (2014)  Quite slow burn but a decent Britt revenge-drama. >>: B

Deadpool (2016)
A- Bit of a masterpiece. Especially considering the budget. I think the sequel might be even better since they don't have to include the origin story. Pandemic (2016) C/D

The Huntsman: Winter's War (2016)
I typically don't see a movie solely for its cast, but I couldn't pass up a movie with Jessica Chastain, Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt and Chris Hemsworth. Winter's War certainly isn't the best thing these actors have done in their careers, but it's still a fairly entertaining twist on the Snow White tale. The Huntsman acts as a prequel and sequel to 2012's Snow White and the Huntsman, which I regrettably hadn't seen before I watched this, and it follows an escalating battle between the Ice Queen, Freya, and her sister, Ravenna. Freya's former Huntsman, Eric and, fellow warrior, Sara, who were raised to protect Freya, have to conceal their forbidden love while combat Ravenna's intentions to take back Snow White's kingdom. Despite the campy writing and plot inconsistencies, I still found quite a bit to enjoy about Winter's War. Watching Charlize Theron be a badass as the Evil Queen was ridiculously entertaining. There's also the beautiful cinematography, costumes, visual effects and *ahem* Chris Hemsworth that made the movie visually stunning. The campy writing also isn't so bad that it goes into cheese territory. It's fairly self aware and fun while not taking itself overly seriously. The plot is a bit more of a fantasy romance with some action in it, but Jessica Chastain and Chris Hemsworth give their characters some life so that you do want to see them succeed by the time the movie is over. The Huntsman: Winter's War is fairly slight entertainment, but it's got a great cast, characters, stunning visuals and a lot of fun. 6/10
