It's always SO difficult to choose just two films to recommend each month. I'm a total film nut and there's such an abundance of amazing work lately, from the big blockbusters to smaller, even more wonderful, indie productions.
What do you think of this month's choices?
Coming up in the February edition of Aspire Magazine...
