My Oxford Year, Weapons, Sketch

Movie 1: My Oxford Year

This is a really well done romantic drama that deals with several topics, including love, loss and grief.  It starts off light and at times funny, but soon becomes a serious drama.  Good acting and good cinematography.  Well worth watching.  On Netflix.

Movie 2: Weapons

This is a very inventive, clever and intelligent horror film.  17 grade school kids from the same class walk out of their homes at the same moment and disappear.  This mystery has lots of twists and turns.  Really believable acting from a first-rate cast.  It’s very good seeing Amy Madigan again.

Movie 3: Sketch

This is a wonderfully warm and simple story about a young girl’s sketch book that falls into a small lake and her characters come to life.  Lessons of love and the acceptance of grief and loss are beautifully discovered.  Knowing nothing about this film, we were pleasantly surprised how entertaining it was.
