Paddington
2015 PG Family Comedies, UK- Director: Paul King based on the "Paddington Bear" childrens books by Michael Bond
- Cast: Hugh Bonneville, Ben Whishaw (V), Julie Walters, Nicole Kidman
Review: I loved Paddington Bear when I was a kid. I cracked up when I saw the part in the trailer with him on the excalator carrying a dog. It was always sold out whenever I went to the theater to see other things. It did very well at the box office.

2015 PG-13 Romance- Director
- David O. Russell
Plot: After a freak accident lodges a nail in uninsured Alice Eckle's (Jessica Biel) head, her crusade for health care takes her to Capitol Hill. But with her injury causing wild sexual urges, things are bound to get out of control in this romantic comedy. As naive congressman Howard Birdwell (Jake Gyllenhaal) takes up her cause, sparks fly between Alice and the young senator. But will love and politics make uneasy bedfellows?
Review: This could be bad and looks a bit like it might be a propaganda film about healthcare, but it could be brilliant like Nurse Betty. Only one way to find out.

Plot: With her life in upheaval, frustrated songwriter Catherine Brown retreats to her vacant family home in Woodstock, N.Y., to review her priorities. Aided by a longtime friend of her parents, Catherine begins to reclaim her sense of purpose.
Review: Though the plot seems a bit derivative, the cast is amazing and just about all of them can sing (Miller. Snow, Sagal, Wolk, Willis). I hope all of them do in this.
