Peggy Sue Got Married

"Peggy Sue Got Married" is one of the great--yet underrated--films of the 1980s,
featuring a remarkably well-done spin on the time travel genre. In this 'chick-flick'
version of the classic "What If?" conundrum, Kathleen Turner stuns in a moving
performance as she effortlessly shifts back and forth between drama and humor.

It says a lot about this film's greatness that it made me find even Nick Cage
bearable. An otherwise incredible cast, this journey to the heart of a person's
past and psyche explores discovering what we want and what we're willing
to live without.

A new spin on mid-life crisis, Peggy Sue got the chance to truly change things,
including her perspective. Good fun and adventure. If you've ever toyed with
the idea of what makes you You, or questioned what it would take to start over,
you'll appreciate the search for identity in this flick!

The Debt (2011)

This movie was a great surprise; I went in knowing very little so all of
it was fresh to me; no spoilers!

Helen Mirren can do no wrong, and she was phenomenal as always.
The rest of this small cast was equally spell-binding and awe-inspiring,
making the most out of the most intimate scenes.

Even though it's a post-WWII film, the story is linked to WWII and
history, and never stops being riveting and suspenseful. A perfect
blend of study, action, suspense,  mystery, romance, and politics,
it is a gritty and realistic film that envelops you as it proceeds.
