Script was very interesting, and the actors did a superb job.

- DirectorJohn Lee HancockStarsEmma ThompsonTom HanksAnnie Rose BuckleyAuthor P.L. Travers reflects on her childhood after reluctantly meeting with Walt Disney, who seeks to adapt her Mary Poppins books for the big screen.This movie looked dull, but I decided to watch it as it came recommended by my artsy friends. It was a good film, and I thought Tom Hanks did an excellent job. Emma Thompson brought good work to the screen as well.
- DirectorMichael AlmereydaStarsPeter SarsgaardWinona RyderJim GaffiganIn 1961, famed social psychologist Stanley Milgram conducted a series of radical behavior experiments that tested ordinary humans' willingness to obey authority.I was familiar with this experiment but still found the movie interesting and worthwhile to watch.
- DirectorPhyllida LloydStarsMeryl StreepJim BroadbentRichard E. GrantAn elderly Margaret Thatcher talks to the imagined presence of her recently deceased husband as she struggles to come to terms with his death while scenes from her past life, from girlhood to British prime minister, intervene.I must admit that I waited for long time before watching this as it looked slow moving and boring to me. Meryl Streep did an excellent job and the movie was quite interesting. I do not regret watching it.
- DirectorLance EdmandsStarsAmy MortonJohn SlatteryLouisa KrauseIn the frozen woods of an isolated Maine logging town, one woman's tragic mistake shatters the balance of the community, resulting in profound and unexpected consequences. Weaving together several connected story lines, BLUEBIRD explores the profound and transcendent effects of a tragedy on an isolated American town.Good solid acting in this slow moving Indie film.

Good movie and it's nice to see Matthew's work in this Indie film.
- DirectorCraig ZiskStarsJulianne MooreMichael AngaranoGreg KinnearAn English teacher's life is disrupted when a former student returns to her small town after failing as a playwright in New York.Mrs Moore did a good job. It was a bit slow, but it kept me engaged. It wasn't thrilling, but I liked it.
- DirectorDavid PastorÀlex PastorStarsQuim GutiérrezJose CoronadoMarta EturaIn this terrifying apocalyptic horror, a mysterious epidemic like no other has swept across the globe, leaving chaos in its wake.An average rating of 6.1 seemed harsh. If you like apocalyptic movies, you probably won't regret watching this English sub-titled movie that takes place in Madrid. Keep your expectations low, and watch it as a last resort, and you will be fine and enjoy it.
The two main characters were not flat and did a good job. It has lots of sub-titled profanity, one suggestive sexual sin, and no overwhelming violent scenes, but instead focused on the characters.
I liked how they showed some current excitement but then would flashback to develop the storyline while not giving away the ending. It kept my interest because the writing of the script had realistic dialogue and fairly realistic scenes if you discount the unlikely of the disease. - DirectorBilly WilderStarsWilliam HoldenGloria SwansonErich von StroheimA screenwriter develops a dangerous relationship with a faded film star determined to make a triumphant return.Classic movie that is generally highly rated! Personally higher than I would rate it, but you have to watch it due to the very famous ending.
- DirectorEthan CoenJoel CoenStarsJeff BridgesMatt DamonHailee SteinfeldA stubborn teenager enlists the help of a tough U.S. Marshal to track down her father's murderer.I'm not a Jeff Bridges fan, but his performance was outstanding as Rooster Cogburn.
- DirectorKevin ReynoldsStarsJim CaviezelGuy PearceChristopher AdamsonA young man, falsely imprisoned by his jealous "friend", escapes and uses a hidden treasure to exact his revenge.Great movie!
- DirectorWilliam PhillipsStarsPaul GrossSienna GuilloryDustin MilliganA hardened American gunslinger is repeatedly thwarted in his attempts to mount a showdown in a friendly town in Canada where no one seems to understand or appreciate the brutal code of the American Wild West.This was a cool and funny movie. Some people don't like this type of humor but I do.
- DirectorJim HanonStarsLouie LeonardoChad AllenJack GuzmanTwo people come to the end of a spear in order to realize that the divisions between them are not real.True story.
- DirectorStuart HazeldineStarsAdar BeckGemma ChanNathalie CoxEight candidates for a highly desirable corporate job are locked together in an exam room and given a final test with just one seemingly simple question. However, it doesn't take long for confusion to ensue and tensions to unravel.Surprisingly interesting.
- DirectorPrachya PinkaewStarsTony JaaPhetthai VongkumlaoPumwaree YodkamolWhen the head of a statue sacred to a village is stolen, a young martial artist goes to the big city and finds himself taking on the underworld to retrieve it.Martial-arts movie out of Thailand. Spectacular martial-arts action makes the movie - incredibly no wires were used in its making. Tony Jaa rocks hard in his style and there is a bit of humor from his side-kick which added. The sequels I personally didn't care for as they seemed to be more dark and pagan.
- DirectorRyoo Seung-wanStarsRyu Seung-beomYoon So-yiAhn Sung-kiAs a dorky cop falls in with five Tao masters who admire his c'hi, an ancient foe comes looking for them all.South Korean with sub-titles. Action and adventure with humor. Some nice martial arts scenes towards the later part.

- DirectorThom EberhardtStarsKurt RussellMartin ShortMary Kay PlaceA Chicagoan inherits an old yacht. He, his wife, daughter and son fly to a Caribbean island and hire a dubious Captain Ron to sail them on an adventure to Miami.Funny!
- DirectorSteve OedekerkStarsSteve OedekerkFei LungLeo LeeA rough-around-the-edges martial arts master seeks revenge for his parents' death.I've seen this one probably 5 or 6 times. It is a great spoof.
