1. THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL:
Since so many things are outsourced to India, why not outsource your retirement? That’s the premise of this delightful movie that has an array of great British stars from Maggie Smith to Tom Wilkinson, to Dame Judi Dench. Added to that, “Slum Dog’s” young star, Dev Patel. We are introduced to several Brits of a certain age, all facing financial challenges with their retirement, who see an opportunity to travel to India and live in the Exotic Marigold Hotel for a fraction of what such splendid accommodation would cost at home. But when they arrive on site, it’s not quite as advertised. A delightful film with an exceptional story and a satisfying outcome. Rated PG.

2. THE CABIN IN THE WOODS:
This is a horror-slasher-chiller with a difference. It appears on the surface to be standard horror fare … five young people find a cabin in the woods, they get themselves inside, and strange things begin to happen. But that’s not the movie. I can’t tell you what occurs next because that gives too much away, but consider this: it’s written by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly) and it pays its respect to some of the greatest horror characters ever … nothing gratuitous, all very creative. Chris Hemsworh (Thor) stars. Rated 18A.

3. FOR GREATER GLORY THE TRUE STORY OF CRISTIADA:
A documentary on the pop star in much the same style as the recent Justin Bieber film that looks at a Katy Perry performance from the backstage angle. As well, we meet her parents, and look at her beginnings as a Christian artist, and one who was a long, long distance from where she is today. “I Kissed a Girl … and I Liked It,” got the ball rolling, but it really hits top speed when you see the hardships this very rich young lady has to endure just to stay that way. Rated PG.

GOLDEN EYE (1994):
This was the first James Bond movie in which Judi Dench played “M” … Pierce Brosnan is Bond, Sean Bean and Famke Janssen co-star.

FINDING NEMO 3D
Bradley Cooper is excellent in this story of a writer who hits it big … with a stolen book! Confusing plot though!
-
RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION
Badly directed action movie about a Wall Street broker and a missing suitcase … and a missing story too!
