The Day After Tomorrow 2004 ★★★
Say what you will, but nobody does adrenalin fueled brain on zero popcorn fun quite like Emmerich.
And main characteritis helps you survive all of that without a scratch.
Personal Shopper 2016 ★★★
Personal shopper was an interesting thriller. Kristen Stewart plays a student who works as a personal shopper for a society figure. Spending your whole days in fancy shops, trying on expensive clothing, living in Paris, hopping back and forth between Paris and London,... I think there are a few people I can sign up for that.
However, there is of course more to it than that. She also tries to get in touch with her deceased twin brother and at the same time she gets texts from some stranger who appears to be either toying with her and/or stalking her.
As a thriller, it was enjoyable, but the story did not really know where to go. With the result being that both the murder subplot and the brother plot could have been fleshed out more. But we get some interesting sequences while she is trying to get into contact with her brother and the shot where she finds the body is well construed. Also, Kristen Stewart does a solid job here as the lead girl, going back and forth between bewilderment, curiosity, terror and being appaled.
For people who like their mysteries a bit different.
