The Amateur, Sacramento, Pride and Prejudice

Movie 1: The Amateur

The wife of a CIA agent is murdered and he travels the globe looking for her killers. This spy thriller is very entertaining. While not great film making, and many national critics give it so-so reviews, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Kinda like a computer nerds Jason Bourne. And Rami Malek plays the perfect nerd.

Movie 2: Sacramento

This is a buddy road trip comedy/drama.  Two friends travel from Los Angeles to Sacramento, supposedly on a spare of the moment whim. There is so much in this movie that should have been really well done.  But it misses the mark in almost every scene.  Kristen Stewart is the only bright spot in this slow and not very comedic film.

Movie 3: Pride and Prejudice

This masterpiece is being re-released 25 years after its 2005 opening.  Based on the Jane Austen historical and romantic novel, an upper class British mother tries to marry off her five daughters.  This is a sumptuous and delightful movie with a pantheon of British and American actors.  In theaters this weekend for a limited 25th anniversary run.  Also on Netflix.
