Booksmart (2019)

 

 

On the eve of their high school graduation, two academic superstars and best friends realize they should have worked less and played more. Determined not to fall short of their peers, the girls try to cram four years of fun into one night. 

This coming-of-age comedy gives the genre a more imaginative spin and is fast-paced, witty and rather enjoyable, even for a more mature audience. 

Colossal (2016)

Gloria is an out-of-work party girl forced to leave her life in New York City and move back home, but when reports surface that a giant creature is destroying Seoul, she gradually comes to the realization that she is somehow connected to this phenomenon.

Strange, slightly amusing mix of a domestic alcohol abuse story and a monster movie nicely moves along its absurd premise, but isn't really very exciting.
