Divergent

☆☆☆

+
In this action-packed thriller, Shailene Woodley (Academy Award nominee for "The Descendants") gives a strong performance as Tris, a young woman who doesn't properly fit into any of the factions developed by society based on human virtues. Tris is unique...and in this world unique isn't good.
-
The expectations may have been a little too high.

Rated PG-13
2 hr. 20 min.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

☆☆☆☆

+
“Perks…Wallflower” is the funny…yet stirring story of Charlie (strong and nuanced performance by Logan Lerman), a fifteen-year-old anxious about starting high school.
His year ends-up being filled with unexpected events: friends, love, and some real fun, but at the end of the school year a disturbing family secret…that Charlie had repressed since he was a young child…is revealed.

Emma Watson proves that she can play more than Harry Potter’s friend Hermione.
_
Needs stronger character development.
Some confusion here and there.

Rated PG-13
1 hr. 43 min.
