The Sheep Detectives

This was a cute original quirky movie starring Hugh Jackman as a shepherd who reads mysteries to his sheeps every day. When he dies, the sheep take it upon themselves to find out the murderer was. Along the way you meet the eccentrics of the town. I didn't guess who the murderer was. However, that's also probably because I don't read mysteries. Bryan Cranston and Patrick Stewart do voice work.

Omkara

This is an Indian version of Othello. I like the actors Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan. I can't recommend the movie despite the acclaim it received. I read Shakespeare's play and liked it but I found this long and dull.

Invention for Destruction (aka The Fabulous World of Jules Verne)

This Czech movie is based on a work by Jules Verne. The real reason to watch this is for the visuals. It's a piece of artwork in itself. Some people think it inspired the Steampunk movement. This movie was ahead of its time.

The Devil wears Prada 2

The original cast reunites twenty years later. It was cute but unnecessary. I liked the ending of the original and felt it was resolved. Also Anne's love interest was underdeveloped. It could have easily been taken out of the movie.

Michael (2026)

I know the critics hated it but I found it to be an entertaining popcorn movie. The movie starts whith the success of the Jackson 5. The main trial in this movie is Michael's break from his abusive father. It shows the colossal success of Thriller and ends with him singing Bad. The time period of the movie was before the allegations came into play. Apparently there is going to be a sequel. The lead is played by Michael's nephew and he does a good job. La Toya and Jermaine Jackson were executive producers.

Circumstantial Evidence

This was a so so noir about a guy convicted of a murder with no eyewitnesses. His best friends tries to prove him innocent. This movie may have come from the 1940s but it seemed more like something from the early 1930s to me. Unless you're a huge noir fan you're not missing anything.

The Dream Lady

A girl starts a fortunetelling business. Along the way she comes across a crooked guy and meets the man of her dreams. I thought the most interesting thing about the movie is she adopts a girl. So for a while in the movie she is a single mother. This silent movie is only an hour. It was ok. I've seen better silent movies to call it a lost gem.
