The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist; She Dances; Peaky Blinders

Movie 1: The AI Doc

This is a fascinating and well made documentary currently in theaters.  We found this movie very helpful to understand what AI is and its potential for good and bad. Even though we live in San Francisco, the epicenter of everything tech, the only thing we knew about AI is how to spell it.  Powerful conversations with 20 and 30-somethings who literally have the future of the planet in their hands.   Should be streaming somewhere by summer.

Movie 2: She Dances

Yet another movie we knew nothing about before seeing it, and again very pleasantly surprised.  This is a comedy-drama where a father accompanies his daughter to a dance competition in Kentucky.  Really good acting all around, and probably the best acting we’ve seen from Steve Zahn.  The situations, especially the dialogue, seemed beautifully and brutally honest.

Movie 3: Peaky Blinders

This is the final episode of an ongoing British/Irish drama series.  The film takes place in Birmingham England during WWII.  Since this is the only episode of the popular series we’ve ever seen, we aren’t exactly sure what it’s all about.  It’s dark, with lots of violence and angst.  But the acting is very good.  And friends of ours who are big fans of the series said this last episode nicely ties it all together.  Still in limited theater release but also on Netflix.  It’s in English, but best to turn on the subtitles.

One thought on “The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist; She Dances; Peaky Blinders”

  1. AI frightens me. It can only lead to bad things. To me it’s an updated version of cryptocurrency. Not to be trusted.

    The Steve Zahn movie seems promising.

    Thanks
