I lover Jennifer!
I have had a crush on Jennifer Connelly for 30 years. She still looks great and has chosen many great roles over her career.

She is fantastic in this film about an unmotivated woman who gets tossed from her family home and then starts a conflict with the new owners because she feels they have unlawfully taken her home from her.

She befriends a deputy who decides to assist her in harassing the new owners until their conflict comes to a head.

Ben Kingsley and Shohreh Aghdashloo are also very good as the new homeowners who just want to be left alone.

The tense final half of the film is well worth the slightly slow moving first act.

Highly recommended.

An autobiography of epic proportions
For those who want to know about the horrors of the "War to end all wars" from the point of view from the Germans, this book is for you. The author Erich Maria Remarque had seen such a conflict, so he knows what he is talking about when it comes to the horrors of war.

What I liked - the characters, the bookstore, some of the language. What I didn't like - the amount of time it took to get to the heart of the matter. Something about the conflict avoidance in this book felt off to me

War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)
2017 | Action, Sci-Fi
The war of the title is primarily one of the soul.Caesar’s revenge, when it comes, is told with poignant restraint.The conflict here is one of morality, identity and the boundaries of humanity; all the guns and napalm, are secondary to War’s purpose.
