Movie 1: Ella McCay
This romantic drama/comedy follows the life of a 30-something Lieutenant Governor of a Northeastern state as she is about to become Governor. With all the prerequisite love, work, family drama this movie is ultimately entertaining. A bit implausible at times, but a fun couple of hours. Jamie Lee Curtis is always good to see. James L. Brooks does a good job of directing.

Movie 2: The Secret Agent
This is an almost three hour Portuguese political thriller/drama that excels on several levels. It follows the life of a technology teacher who escapes his past in Sao Paulo only to find more violence and chaos in Recife. Much of the film takes place during the 1977 Carnival festivities in Brazil. It was also a time of harsh Brazilian dictators. This film has garnered several Golden Globe nominations including Best Actor, Best Motion Picture, Best Motion Picture Non English. Lead actor Maura Wagner has already won best actor at the Cannes Film Festival. Portuguese with English subtitles.

Movie 3: Dust Bunny
This is a very unusual movie, difficult to define. Set in New York City it’s part crime thriller/horror movie and part fairytale children’s story. Odd, I know. A young girl tells anyone who will listen there is a noise under her bed. When adults go and look, all they find are dust bunnies. Until they don’t.. Gorgeous cinematography. Very good acting, writing and directing.
