That pretty much tells you my current state right there.
Learning To Drive
Starring: Patricia Clarkson and Ben Kingsley
Original release: 2014
Synopsis: As her marriage collapses a writer takes driving lessons from a Sikh cab driver..
I'd pretty much watch Patricia Clarkson in anything even if it's just learning to drive and yelling at her soon-to-be ex husband.
Starring: Amy Adams and Emily Blunt
Original release: 2008
Synopsis: Two sisters start an unusual business - crime scene cleanup.
Amy Adams when she tears up is worth just about any movie. She's like a puppy dog that has been kicked, you just want to pick her up and take care of her.
Starring: Richard Farnsworth
Original release: 1999
Synopsis: A man and his lawnmower.
The synopsis tells you all you need to know.
The rural countryside is kind of pretty which helps at least.
Starring: Ellen Page
Original release: 2009
Synopsis: An indie-rock loving misfit finds a way of dealing with her small-town misery after she discovers a roller derby league.
Roller Derby, Beauty Pageants and diners. Small town America slice of life and I am so there.
Starring: She is so awesome
Original release: 2009
Synopsis: An overweight, abused, illiterate teen who is pregnant with her second child is invited to enroll in an alternative school in hopes that her life can head in a new direction.
At times it uses a hammer to hit home the point but these are points we need to hear and see and learn from.
Starring: Keri Russell and Nathan Fillion
Original release: 2007
Synopsis: Jenna is a pregnant, unhappily married waitress in the deep south.
Pies and Nathan Fillion.
Starring: Ryan Gosling and Patricia Clarkson
Original release: 2007
Synopsis: A young man strikes up an unconventional relationship with a doll he finds on the Internet.
This is like the ultimate movie on acceptance, tolerance and empathy, and all because a shy awkward man brings home a life size doll as his friend and companion.
I know. Sounds weird.
But really it isn't.
Instead it's sweet and sad and lovely.
Starring: Chris Cooper and Matthew McConaughey
Original release: 1996
Synopsis: When the skeleton of his murdered predecessor is found, Sheriff Sam Deeds unearths many other long-buried secrets in his Texas border town.
Matthew McConaughey in a cowboy hat and carrying a gun. I pretty much lost focus after that.
As for the movie it's even better than just Matt in a hat and gun.
Starring: Glenda Jackson and Ben Kingsley
Original release: 1985
Synopsis: Two lonely people form a bond over sea turtles.
Any movie where there is a turtle heist has got my vote.
