ME BEFORE YOU is a story about a young woman charged with the care of an quadriplegic man. Opposites in almost every way, their close proximity results in a complex relationship that drives them to confront their inner demons. Reading along as the two characters force each other to reexamine their lives is as exhilirating as it is heartwrenching.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR is the third installment of the Captain America franchise, and is an exciting movie with plenty to offer anyone who’s enjoyed the latest string of Marvel films. The film manages to balance a huge number of characters without letting up momentum or getting bogged down in subplots. It’s a fun film, even if you aren’t a superhero movie fan.
