Normal, The Christophers, A Little Something Extra

Movie 1: Normal

This is an action comedy set in a very small Minnesota town. Bob Odinkirk plays a temporary sheriff who fills in for the town’s dead sheriff. There are whacky and bloody adventures including a brutal Japanese gang and a bank heist. A friend said this movie is a fun example of a bad movie. It makes little to no sense but is just plain entertaining. And always good to see Henry Winkler.

Movie 2: The Christophers

This is a dark comedy/drama about a very talented painter (Sir Ian McKellen) who tries to finish a series of paintings before he dies.  The acting, directing and writing are all superb.  McKellen’s acting is amazing and totally mezmerizing.  At age 87 he may finally get a well deserved Oscar.

Movie 3: A Little Something Extra

Yet another little gem of a movie we knew nothing about going in.  Literally no advertising anywhere.  Set in the beautiful south of France and Northern Spain, a father and son duo pull off a jewelry store heist.  They look to hide out in a summer camp for disabled young adults.  This is a wonderfully lighthearted French comedy. Kudos to everyone involved.  French with English subtitles.

SPECIAL NOTE:  We are off on another adventure, or at least a lazy one.  A cruise from Cape Canaveral to Southhampton.  Hope to see Devil Wears Prada 2 somewhere before home mid May.  Cheers to all!
