We discussed films watched over the last two months, both at the cinema and online. Those watched at the cinema were:
Garfield Movie: This was colourful and well produced. The story was quite complex, covering issues around revenge, friendship and family that were perhaps not for children under 5 years old. We rated as around 3/5.
Inside Out 2: This was another animated film. It was based around the emotions impacting the behaviour of a young girl as she entered puberty. Good animation and character development. This was a good coming of age film. We rate it as around 4-4.5/5.
The Way, My Way This was the story of a stubborn self-centred Australian who decides to walk the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. The scenery was good, but the storyline was slim. The character did not develop, and although it was supposed to change him, he did not seem to be very different at the end. It was rated as 2.5/5.
Films available on-line that were recommended were:
The Ipcress File is a 1965 British spy film directed by Sidney J. Furie and starring Michael Caine.
Under the Banner of Heaven screening on SBS On Demand. A devout detective's faith is tested as he investigates a brutal murder seemingly connected to an esteemed Utah family's spiral into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints fundamentalism and their distrust in the government.
