Movie 1: Nowhere
This is an international thriller that is tense and riveting. A young couple try and leave their war torn country inside of a container and a large ship. The drama, action and isolation are palpable. Originally in Spanish but we watched the dubbed English version. On Netflix.

Movie 2: Fair Play
This is a very well done romantic thriller. Two high powered hedge fund analysts start a relationship against company policy. This drama explores masculinity, workplace politics, and sexuality. This movie debuted to a lot of well-earned buzz at Sundance. Currently in theaters but on Netflix later this week.

Movie 3: On Fire
This movie is based on actual events in last year’s Northern California wildfires. It’s entertaining enough, but the stock footage of forest fires and the acting are just ok.
Special Note: Our movie reviews will be on a short hiatus. We are off to hither and yon. Starting in Sofia, Bulgaria and ending in Nassau, Bahamas. Home November 22. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
