# 14 Movie Night? Consider seeing Take This Waltz...

Last night we went to see Take This Waltz (2011), a Canadian film, written and directed by Sarah Polley.  (Perhaps you remember Sarah Polley from her acting days as lead child actress in the Ramona series and Anne of Green Gables.)  Although billed as a comedy/drama, this movie was actually quite dark and sad.  Its main objective was to have you reflect on how people choose their own path and how (sadly) some people can't ever feel content with the choices they've made.  The three key actors, Michelle Williams, Seth Rogen and Luke Kirby, were excellent.  Well worth seeing.

#4 Movie Night? Look for Intouchables ...

Planning to see a movie this weekend?  You might want to check out Intouchables.  This is an extremely successful French film with subtitles (released November, 2011). Based on a true story,  You Changed My Life by Abdel Sellou, Intouchables is a heart-warming, uplifting, "warm fuzzy" kind of a movie that has received good reviews here in North America.

The story is about a wealthy, but depressed, French paraplegic who, on a whim, hires a young, unemployed Sudanese man as his caretaker.  They develop a strong bond and despite social and economic differences, each helps the other find ultimate happiness.
