“The Thursday Murder Club” Provides a Cozy Mystery
As a frequent “the book was better” extoller, this movie was well worth the watch.

Marie, together with her mother Carla and grandma Ruth, runs a family-owned hotel on the Staffelsee. However, as Ruth fears that her granddaughter, who prefers to change her car tires rather than make herself beautiful in front of the mirror, gets drowsy at some point, she secretly makes a personal announcement in Marie's name. Without a photo of her beautiful granddaughter, nobody can even get married even in times of the internet. Ruth hires the professional photographer Niklas, who succeeds in the miracle: Marie is kissing awake. In the role of a modern Cinderella Mira Bartuschek discovers her femininity and Kai Schumann as her photographer the motif of his life.

Kate Winslet and Saorise Ronan deliver stellar performances in a film that doesn't live up to its potential.

With so many Disney remakes out and about in the world and loosed upon Hollywood cinema, there is one Disney film that truly needs to be seen and witnessed on the big screen: Princess and the Frog.
Tran Quoc Bao succeeds in telling us a story about martial arts, human decay, and friendship. The originality shown by his filmmaking is admirable and brings fresh air to the classic Chinese martial arts genre.
If I had truly wished to witness "Guardians of the Galaxy", I would have stayed home to do so. Instead, I went to the IMAX and took in this newest incarnation of one of the most recognized and adapted superheroes in the DC Universe. **Sigh** Let me be clear here. I am NOT saying this is an AWFUL film.
