Movie 1: Greenland 2: Migration

This is a sequel to the 2020 hit movie. A cataclysmic disaster nearly destroys the earth. In the first movie a family found refuge in an underground shelter in Greenland. In the second movie they emerge from the shelter to travel to France to find a verdant, lush and livable crater. Good acting, writing and cinematography. If you liked the first movie (though not necessary to have seen it) you will enjoy this one. Gerard Butler always delivers good entertainment.

Movie 2: The Choral

This is a beautifully made and acted British film about the formation of a local Yorkshire choir during WWI. Being wartime the local amateur participants did not find the famous German composers acceptable, so they enlisted the help of an unknown British composer. The acting, sets, costumes, and the dated humor make for a very enjoyable movie. Only the Brits can take one obscure topic and turn it into an interesting history lesson.

Movie 3: Rosemead

This was a very difficult topic to film, let alone watch. A teenagers mental illness and the potential for gun violence. Lucy Liu gives a spectacular performance as an immigrant mother and widow dealing with her own health issues as well as her son’s. It deals with family humor, warmth and tragedy. This movie was a big hit at film festivals. Limited release in theaters and soon to be streaming on Netflix. English and Mandarin, with English subtitles.
