THE LEISURE SEEKER




Runaway couple Ella and John embark on an unforgettable cross-country journey in their vintage camper, fleeing the suffocating care of their doctors and grown children.  He is distracted but strong , she is frail but sharp.  Their journey aboard the faithful old camper they call The Leisure Seeker takes them from Boston to Key West.  Sharing moments of exhilaration and anguish, they recapture their passion for life and their love for one another on a road trip that provides revelation and surprise right uppercut to the very end.  The movie hits close to home in another 10 to 15 years.  There are laughs and sad moments, but it is very good.  I give it an 8.  Stars Helen Mirren and Donal Southernland.

A WRINKLE IN TIME



This space adventure follows Meg, her brother Charles, and her schoolmate Calvin on a trip through time as they try to locate the siblings' astrophysicist father  after he vanishes.   The others with me that attended the movie liked the book better and thought it was more descriptive.  Special effects were great but it was slow at times.  I give it a 7.  Stars Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling.
