Review:

This is a tale of the relationship between a father Hal (Christopher Plummer) and his son Oliver (Ewan McGregor) and their strong bond that is broken when Hal dies of terminal cancer and Oliver is left to contemplate how life will go on without him. He relives the lives they shared, the good times and the bad, and the fact that his father was gay, even though he’d stayed married to his mother until she died. The loss had left him empty inside, but when he meets a French actress (Melanie Laurent), who has had just as much of a hard life, they use their shared tribulations to find new life in each other.

Review:

A man (Brad Pitt) and his wife (Jessica Chastain) raise three boys in the 1950’s in this wonderful story about life and growing up, but it’s not all fun and laughter. He wants the boys to be strong, to be able to stand up on their own, but his methods to get them there aren’t always the most generous or kind. The tough love that he shows them in childhood goes on to haunt the eldest as an adult (Sean Penn) who seeks out the meaning of his own life in the outside world. Read more…

Review:

Po (Jack Black), the lovable panda who reached the goal of being Dragon Warrior in the first movie is happy in the Valley of Peace, protecting it from evil that is always out there. Course this is a pretty easy job when he has a whole group of friends to help him. There is Monkey (Jackie Chan), Mantis (Seth Rogan), Crane (David Cross), Viper (Lucy Liu) and Tigress (Angelina Jolie). But when Po discovers that he is adopted, which shouldn’t come as a shock considering his father is a goose, he decides to go in search of his real parents. Meanwhile, Lord Shen (Gary Oldman), an evil peacock has his own parent issues and wants to wreak havoc on the Valley of Peace as a way to deal. Will Po be able to stop him and discover what family really means? Read more…

Because this odd stranger may be just the angel they need to help them get their lives back together. Read more…
