The first was "Hot Pursuit" starring Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara. It is a chase movie, a buddy movie, an odd couple movie, but most of all it is like an "I Love Lucy" story with Ms. Witherspoon being Lucy and Ms Vergara as Desi. It is about not understanding each other and being out their comfort zone which is standard Lucy/Desi stuff. Good to watch when there is nothing else going on.
I give it ** stars. 2015 movie 25
The second movie was very different. We have had movies this year about droids and artificial intelligence. But this movie. "Ex Machina"is sort of the serious look at the subject.
Ex Machina is from the greek meaning "god from the machine". There we learned something! I had to look it up!
A young male programmer wins a week with the super-rich owner of the world's largest search engine company. He flies to a remote location and finds that his project is to test an actual A.I. This female droid is beyond anything imagined. Then the story begins. This is drama and mystery in a sic-fi way. It is both well acted and suspenseful. NOTE: As the movie progresses (about the last third) involves scenes of nudity. Naked A.I. but not in a sexual way.
This movie does question how much man-made people could work and be safe. Much to think about.
Not a popcorn movie. R-Rated 2015 Movie 26 and I give it ****stars.
