The Delinquent Season is a realistic look into an affair and the feelings that come with it. In this Irish drama two individuals, Cillian Murphy and Eva Birthistle, are unhappy with their marriages and find comfort in each other. There is some amazing performances in this film that really capture the feelings of guilt and passion that goes along with these relationships. The performances also add a layer of realism to the characters giving the film a nice amount of depth and emotion to it. Along with the stellar performances the writing and directing of Mark O'Rowe creates for an interesting and provoking film. There is one scene that really captures the entire feeling of the movie. When both couples get together for a dinner party there is this unspoken tension between the entire room where the other two might be able to tell that there is something going on but with each character having some secret of their own it creates a very interesting web of lies. I highly recommend this film to anyone looking for a good drama.

Brampton's Own is the story of a baseball player who has so far failed to make it to the big leagues. Returning home to the small town he left behind and to the people he once knew brings back memories of what could have been. Finding the love of his life getting ready to marry another, he tries to win her back but must choose between his life's calling and the love of his life. Both Alex Russell and Rose McIver gave fantastic performances in this film giving it an extra layer of emotion. Besides the main couple the rest of the cast was great and gave the film some very memorable and funny moments. I highly recommend this film to those who are fans of romantic comedies.

Five Fingers for Marseilles is a film about a town and five friends who swear to protect it. The story follows Tau, played by Vuyo Dabula, who runs away from the problems facing the town and returns years later to find out how his absence has changed the town and the people that he used to know. With a new threat facing the town Tau must confront this problem in order to redeem himself and save those he used to hold dear. As director Michael Matthews' debut feature he has done an outstanding job with this film. Using the tropes of the western genre, the natural beauty of South Africa, and his own flare and twists he has created a fantastic start to his directorial career. It kept me entertained and intrigued the entire time and left me in a satisfied mood for the rest of the day. From the stellar performances to the beautiful cinematography this film entertained me and I highly recommend it to any fans of westerns or fans of film in general.
