    Very good film with a bit of heart, a bit of melancholy, and a bit of whimsy. Burt Lancaster is a CEO of major Houston-based oil company who sends someone to purchase a remote Scottish town to house a refinery as well as to check on stellar activity. A very good film.

    When our retired German first hears Zydeco--a blast. When our visiting German drops his robe to enter hot tub at Eidelweiss Inn in New Braunfels--a gasp. It's a fun character study, but the pacing is very, very slow.

    Wow. This film examines disability, racism, and sex---and is unflinching in its narration. A roller coaster documentary which sparks more questions as it unfolds.

    This was every bit as fun as Fury Road. The world building is bonkers, but damn if it just works. Really good film. Thank you--may I have another?
