Movie 1: Together

This is a very solid and intriguing drama/horror film. A couple move to the countryside to try and rekindle their long term relationship. After falling into a cave, supernatural events quickly evolve. While not ground breaking, it is interesting and entertaining, especially since the onscreen couple, Dave Franco and Allison Brie, are married in real life.

Movie 2: Eden

This is a Ron Howard directed drama based on a real life story. In the 1930’s German immigrants migrate to an uninhabited island in the Galapagos to establish a human “utopia”. This is a very ambitious drama, intentionally slow and at times tedious, but ultimately fascinating. The star-studded cast is very, very good.
