"Like Crazy"

Another one of my favorite themes: road movies. This is an Italian movie about a couple of misfits who are in a mental institution in Tuscany. One is an older woman who has a lot of connections with the Italian upper crust, and can't stop talking. The other is a younger, quiet woman who has a ton of issues. They escape the institution where they're being treated and then the fun begins. Both actors are wonderful. as is the dialogue, and the beautiful scenery!
4 out of 5 stars.

"Drone"

A CIA operative (Sean Bean), who orchestrates drone strikes in Pakistan, accidentally wipes out a family while taking out an enemy. He lives in a wealthy suburb and one day a Pakistani gentleman visits him, under the premise of  buying his recently deceased father's sailboat. This is where the story gets interesting, and pretty intense. It's a subtle, edgy thriller.
3.5 out of 5 stars.

"The Hippopotamus"

Based on a novel by Stephan Fry, it's sort of an off-beat English mystery. A down on his luck, boozing poet loses his job as a critic. He's hired by his niece to investigate a country estate where miracles occur. All kinds of crazy things occur while he stays there. The acting, especially that of Roger Allam, are excellent. It's full of English swearing and great British slang, and lots of sexual references. So if you're squeamish about those things, you might be offended. I thought it was a lot of fun.

4 out of 5 stars.
