Two Movies To Watch On Friday Night

Finally Friday Is here and that's what I recommend you to watch.

**The Apprentice **

The Young Donald Trump
Eager to make a name for himself as the scion of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, young Donald Trump becomes captivated by Roy Cohn—the ruthless lawyer who shaped the Trump we know today. Is it worth watching? Both yes and no!

Pros

Sebastian Stan delivers a solid performance as the young Donald Trump.

Jeremy Strong is also excellent, supporting the lead with finesse and occasionally stealing the spotlight.

The director wisely focuses on Trump’s life before his political career, boldly including many significant details.

Fast-paced editing in the first half keeps the story engaging.

The 80s atmosphere is captured beautifully.

Quite sarcastic in tone.

The directness of the film feels refreshing and captivating.

The scenes featuring the two leads together are the film’s highlight.

Cons

While interesting, the film feels somewhat "weak," primarily in its screenplay.

Its attempt to make two figures widely regarded as "monsters" in American political life seem likable comes off as a drawback.

Simplistic in its critique.

The second half is weaker than the first, lacking the same depth in character exploration.

Monster

A tormented woman with a traumatic childhood, who has ended up selling her body to survive, finds herself lost on the edge of a desolate Florida highway. It’s there that she meets a lonely young woman named Shelby. The two women grow very close and decide to live together. However, a return to prostitution and an unexpected event will lead to a bloody series of murders.

This 2003 film earned Charlize Theron her first Oscar—and deservedly so. She carries the entire film on her shoulders with what I consider a sweeping, stunning performance, completely apart from her physical transformation. It was the year she swept every award available in 2003.

This is the debut directorial and screenwriting work of Patty Jenkins. While the script, though based on a true story, has its "issues," things are somewhat better on the directorial front.

This isn’t one of those films I’ll remember for the story it tells but rather for the absolutely phenomenal performance of Charlize Theron, who I personally consider extraordinarily talented.
