Comedy, romance, thrilling action; few movies can manage to include all of these elements at once, but Imperfections does so and uses each element expertly. Following Cassidy, an aspiring actor who – thanks to her financial situation – starts a job delivering diamonds for her mother's new boyfriend. When her boss's son reveals a way for them to steal diamonds without harming their business by faking a robbery, the two plot to get rich quick. Their plan is easier said than done however, and trying to put it into action leads complications, from the return of Cassidy's drug-dealing ex to entanglement with local gangsters. The cast, featuring familiar faces such as Zach McGowan (Shameless and The 100) and Virginia Kull (Boardwalk Empire), all seem to fit perfectly for their roles. The characters are realistic and relatable, and make you want to see them all succeed – even when they are at odds with each other. The writing in the film is phenomenal as well. Each character has their own hidden motives, all eventually revealing themselves and intertwining to make for a complex and interesting story. For a fun and unique heist movie, I have to recommend giving Imperfections a watch.

The Founders is an inspirational documentary that tells the tale of the founding of the Ladies Professional Golf Association, or LPGA. The organization was founded in 1950 – a time when women were not accepted as professional athletes. 13 women came together to start the organization, and at the time of filming only 4 were still alive. I loved the film's use of interviews with the remaining ladies, hearing a first-person account of their efforts and travels was fascinating. It was heartwarming to hear them recount everything they went through with their friends to create the legacy that they did. The film taught me a lot not only about the history of women's golf, but golf in general. They explain the way amateur tournaments differ from professional, an important distinction that held back a thriving women's amateur golf scene. Setting up a professional tour for women's golf in 1950 is an impressive feat, but that was only the beginning of the women's accomplishments. The scene where they recall Louise Suggs being the first woman to play against men in golf – and then winning – was great. Towards the end, the film features interviews with modern golfers and footage from recent women's tours that the women visited, showing the enormous impact that the founding women had. The Founders is a great film for any fans of golf and anyone who wants to see just what determined women are capable of.

Chief Zabu is a satire about business and politics that, despite being made in the 80's, is still very relevant today. The film follows two men, Ben and Sammy, who think they can get rich quick after being roped into a deal by their shady business partner buying land in a Polynesian island called Tiburaku. The film is full of fast and funny banter and as the two fumble their way into riches and fame. The film takes an almost absurdist look at the American Dream and pokes fun at the fickle worlds of business and politics as the leading men find themselves in comical situations while their business strategy goes awry. The leader of Tiburaku, Zabu, is stuck dealing with the antics of all of the businessmen trying to make money off of his island while he tries to delicately deal his country's admittance into the UN. The fact that the film was made in the 80's is obvious from its Seinfeld-esque humor, but the subject matter is timeless and still makes you think to this day. The film was found by one of the directors under his stairs and was never released until recently, almost serving as a time capsule to the world of film in the 80's. Another interesting fact about the movie was that it was filmed in only 15 days. Chief Zabu was a great watch that was timeless; people who like the 80's aesthetic and funny satires will love this film.
