    She enjoyed the movie more than she enjoyed you? Not sure I would admit that, even semi-publicly.

    • This afternoon we had our biggest and most enjoyable cinematic surprise in years. We hadn't heard of The Sheep Detectives but gave it a shot and left the theater very entertained, even a bit uplifted. Starring Hugh Jackman, Emma Thompson, Nicholas Braun (Greg from Succession who plays a funny but stupid cop, with an accent of unknown origin), and others, including the voice talents of Bryan Cranston, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent!), and several others. It reminded us of the fun family movies we took the kids to in the '80s and '90s. if you find the trailer stupid, then don't bother, but the trailer captures the spirit, humor, and overall quality of what was a very nice time at the movies.

      • It has a huge RT score. When I saw the trailer, I sort of wondered if all the stars in it had decided to jump the shark as a group.

        is it young-kid friendly? I may take my whole crew.

          i know it's recommended for kids 8 and over but i think younger (5 and up?) would do okay as the talking sheep, including the baby ones, are kind of cute. But the death theme and a couple of tense scenes might be a bit much.

            Mrs Happy and I are planning on seeing it tomorrow night - She is really looking forward to it

            • Saw Sheep Detectives

              Fun little movie - great cast. Reminds me of a cross between "Babe" and an Agatha Christie mystery.

              • Saw the new Guy Ritchie flick, In the Grey, tonight. It has an Italian Job flair. I really enjoyed it.

                    Actually I thought the trailer looked pretty dumb but we really enjoyed the movie. Was very fun and wholesome.

                    • Watched a few movies on my flights to and from Japan.

                      A Perfect Day - Japanese movie about an older single guy in Tokyo who finds peace and meaning working as a toilet cleaner and interacting with people and nature. Funny thing is, when I got to Tokyo, I noticed that there are now public toilet tours based on the movie by GetYourGuide. Haha. 3.5 stars

                      Marty Supreme - Timothee Chalamet plays a guy who is obsessed with becoming the world's best table tennis player and is willing to do pretty much anything to make it happen. Incredibly intense movie. 4 stars

                      After the Hunt - Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield in a movie featuring a scandal in the philosophy department at Yale. Outstanding exploration of power, social dynamics, psychology, etc. Lots of plot twists. 4 stars.

                      Song Sung Blue - Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson in a true story about a Neil Diamond tribute band. Great music and a beautiful and touching love story. 4.5 stars.

                        I loved that movie too. They were both great, but Kate Hudson was incredible.

                        • One of my favorite movies is on Tubi. The Mad Adventures of Rabbi Jacob.

                          Silly slapstick French humor.

                          • I found Marty Supreme a bit insufferable

                            "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                              The Marty character is annoying as hell - I was rooting against him for much of the film. And after a while, the ongoing string of calamities becomes almost comical. When that gas station blew up I just laughed. Nevertheless, I was intrigued to see how it would end.

                                Sounds a bit like Whiplash. I know people love that movie, but it made me laugh.
