Art and Craft: I believe this was a documentary, it was interesting, I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. It follows a man who forges masterworks of art and then gives them to museums at originals. Apparently it's not illegal, which is interesting. It also follows the man who discovered the deception. The forger is a quite little man with schizophrenia and a number of other mental health issues.  I don't know how ethical it is for the forger to do what he does, but I also am not so sure about the other side. It ended with the forger taking his skills to a new venue, reuniting people with their stolen paintings...which is again maybe not on solid moral ground but very sweet.

The Hundred Foot Journey: I was really excited for this movie and looked forward to seeing it and perhaps I had hopes too high. It was a good movie but as I watched it, it seemed familiar, like something I'd seen before. As I watched I found the first half of the movie at least, quite similar to the movie Chocolate. I think the second half of the movie was a bit better but over all I was a bit disappointed in the movie.

1735 km of Vietnam: So I enjoyed this movie, it was cute, it's also It Happened One Night, Vietnamese. It is more exotic than the original by virtue of it's being set in Vietnam and being in color. See both. Apparently you can watch it online here.

Guardians of the Galaxy: I didn't know what to expect from this movie but I ended up quite enjoying it. I think if I think too hard about the plot or the movie it might diminish a bit. I did like that it was kinda different from your standard action/super hero movie. I also realized that it bore quite a few similarities to Star Wars: A New Hope, so there you go.

It Happened One Night: This was one of the first dvds I ever watched, back when the format was new and I was young enough not to think much of black and white movie. This movie is a delightful...I'm trying to decide if screwball comedy is quite the right category, I think so; it also is a fine example of Frank Capra's celebration of the common people.

42: This is a biopic based on Jackie Robinson's autobiography, which I think had the same title. I read the book a while back. The movie seemed to stick quite closely to the book but the movie focused only on Robinson's ascension to and and rookie year with the Dodgers and the book covered the majority of his life. I thought the movie was really good, but as a warning, there's a lot of language in this movie which is only fitting, I'm sure it's only a tiny percentage of what the Robinsons had to endure. It's quite an inspiring story.

Spy Kids: I don't think I've written about this yet. So there's three Spy Kids movies, but I think this one is probably the best (because like many franchises, I don't think there was more than one originally planned.) Spy Kids had great actors, a good messages and special effects that don't actually look too out of date, which is an impressive thing.

Joyeux Noel: This is a French movie but it also includes English and German. This is the story of the Christmas truce in WWI, in this telling it centers on groups of Scottish, French and German soldiers who do a wonderful thing in coming together, across battle lines for Christmas. Despite the good in this movie, it depressed me a lot, I think this took place the first year of the war, all these people had three or four more years of bloody war, more than that the truce didn't continue and at least in the movie these individuals were reprimanded. There are no happy endings before the end of a war.
