Superintelligence (2020)
Nostalgia meets Artificial Intelligence.
When the world is a mess it's nice to relax with familiar faces and voices. Mellisa is her charming, funny, quirky self in this movie. She is supported by the perfect lover Bobby Cannavale also quirky and charming, and her husband popping in at fun intervals. They do a mini Ferris Buhler's Day Off and reference a lot of things from a gentler time. Lots of nostalgic music to add to the cozy feeling. James Corden's soothing voice is perfect as the AI for the funny bits and the friendly banter. When AI decides to follow someone to learn about humans there are times you think about what would I do in those circumstances. Nothing too deep but an updated will the "bad guy" really take over the world and if so why. What could be done differently in the real world to change the outcome.? Sit back and relax enjoy the laughs, the clever writing, and the familiar faces. It's time to feel good.
Rosemont (2015)
Heartwarming Drama Teaches the True Meaning of Christmas.
I wanted to sit down and enjoy a Christmas movie with a little intrigue and drama before reaching the happy ending. This movie was the perfect blending of those characteristics. A professional ski boarder gets stranded with an 8 month pregnant girl both headed to Denver when his 4x4 flips in serious snowstorm. They stumble upon a closed hotel. The owners aren't too keen about guests and as the story unfolds we learn why. Being pregnant they make room for her for just a few nights. Turns out the Rosemont Hotel used to be a big fancy popular hotel with many prominent guests. We learn in bits and pieces why that all changed. The pace picks up as the owner and her manager deliver the beautiful healthy baby boy with the help of first aide books. The doc arrives on snowmobiles and everyone is doing fine. More of the mystery of the hotel is revealed as the owner prepares for Christmas to welcome home mother and the baby. The movie ends with a wonderful intimate Christmas feast and plans for the future. When it ended I really wanted to see the sequel to see how it all played out.
