Two of a Kind (1983)
The other ONJ / Travolta film. 4 angels settle a debate with God with a wager so He won’t destroy the world. Bad movie, excellent soundtrack.

We could do better at trying to be the same way. We too often want mercy for ourselves and justice for others.

Where is the friend’s house (1987)
I highly recommend this film about a boy who accidentally takes his school friend’s book and has a crazy journey through rural Iran trying to give it back.

The Great Muppet Caper (1981)
Just ok. But I’m always a fan of Henson, and this cast is all star. Kermit disguises himself as Piggy’s lawyer but she breaks out of prison before her trial.

Warm Bodies (2013)
Both literal and metaphorical exploring as the world changes for both R and Julie. 🎶Hungry Heart🎶 is used in a pivotal falling in love scene. I like this film.

The Trouble With Harry (1955)
Hitchcock’s delightfully unusual autumn comedy. Friends and neighbors in a Vermont town gather to deal with a dead body.

#SeptemberMovieChallenge -betrayal
The Talented Mr Ripley (1999)
The film leans heavily into the Mediterranean summer atmosphere (beaches, outdoor cafés). No spoilers, but betrayal is central to the plot. Tommy Tommy Tommy.

#SeptemberMovieChallenge -battle of the sexes
X-Men Days of Future Past (2014)
Mystique is a serious feminist who fights the manipulation attempts of Magento and Prof X. Classic pentagon slo-mo scene to time in a bottle.

Durante la filmacion de "1917", George MacKay choco accidentalmente con dos extras, el director decidió dejar las tomas porque era muy costoso repetirlas, requerían una gran producción.
Termino siendo una decisión más que acertada, le dio un realismo único a la toma.
