Indie Pick
Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a radio show writer who learns that he has a rare form of spinal cancer and has a 50-50 chance of living. But together with his network of friends and family, he faces the disease head-on.
I never thought that the words “comedy” and “cancer” would be a good pairing—let alone make for an enjoyable film. But the tender handling of the disease, coupled with outstanding dramatic and comedic performances, elevates this dramedy to a higher cinematic level. The film also has the message of never giving up hope.
Thrilling Drama With Twists and Turns
Jacob Pederson (Mads Mikkelsen) manages an orphanage in India and adopts a local boy one day. When the orphanage begins to run out of funding, a wealthy Danish man steps in to help. But, there’s a catch—Jacob must travel to Denmark to meet him, and all isn’t what it seems.
This drama has some very realistic acting and an intricate plotline that will keep viewers guessing. It drives home the point that if something seems too good to be true, it often is. But life can also hold some good surprises.
A Classic Among Classics
During World War II, expatriate Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) operates a popular café in Vichy-controlled Morocco, but refuses to help refugees escape the country—until a couple enters his life.
A masterpiece of filmmaking, with incredible directing, outstanding cinematography, and bravura performances by its stellar cast. A must-see for film buffs and casual viewers alike.
