"Then Came You"

An absolutely sweet little film about Skye (Maisie Williams) a young girl dying of cancer and Calvin (Asa Butterfield) who she meets in a cancer support group. Calvin is a total hypochondriac convinced he has a fatal disease. Skye convinces him to help her check off all the things on her bucket list, and in the process teaches him that it's not how long you live, but how you live. The two young actors have great chemistry and the plot will put and keep a smile on your face throughout this charing movie. I look forward to seeing where their careers take these two fine young actors.

"XOXO"

They say, all stories are either the Illiad or the Odyssey. This movie is definitely in the Odyssey school. It's about a high school boy who uploads a song he mixed in his home studio that goes viral overnight. It gets the attention of an unscrupulous producer who invites him to perform at a huge EDM/rave music festival. The movie follows his journey to the festival along with several other characters including his "manager" buddy, a couple who may be breaking up, and a young girl who knows in her heart, she's destined to meet her soulmate at the festival. The editing style is a bit ADD which takes a little getting used to at first. I think you'll find "XOXO" is not only a fun ride, but will ultimately leave you with a smile.
