Movie review for A Walk In The Woods

A Walk in the Woods
Movie review
Opened on 2 September 2015
Running length 104 minutes


With big time stars, this movie has a jump start. Not only are
they all famous. They are all good.
Robert Redford is a guy that writes travel books. He is suddenly
realizing a famous hiking trail is right in his back yard. He has
never taken advantage of it. His wife, played by Emma Thompson,
sees all the signs of a midlife crisis. She tries to dissuade him.
Finally, caving in if he can find someone to go with him.
Enter Nick Nolte. A friend from long ago.

It is one laugh after another. Through the whole show. But there are
also moments of friendship and revelation. The relationship between
Robert Redford & Emma Thompsons characters is fabulous. Love and
romance. Its a soul searching trip for both of the men.
I highly recommend this movie for couples and adults over
the age of 25 or 30. And highly recommend indeed.
Best  movie I have seen in a very long time.

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - Movie Review

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Movie Review
Opened 6 March 2015
Running time - 122 minutes


We have been looking forward to this one since we
heard about it. The same great cast from The Best Exotic
Marigold Hotel came together for it.
That happens so rarely. There is one main addition.
Richard Gere. He really fit in well.
Just a little over view.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel has been a wonderful
success. They are looking for an investor to buy an
additional property so they can expand. That's the story foundation.
Then, there are the people. The wonderful characters
that are taking advantage of the final chapter in life.
They make the most of it all. Love, romance,
business opportunities, friendships, marriage.
They make a family.
They look after each other. They have kind of
adopted Sonny and his fiancée, Sunaina.
There are a number of story lines in this show.
Which kept my interest the whole time.



Its a wonderful romantic fun movie for date night.
We felt like it was a perfect set up for a third one
in this series. Which is ok with us.
