Train Dreams is co-written and directed by Clint Bentley.
I knew I had to check out this movie when I saw that he was Oscar nominated for Sing Sing.
This is a small movie that really makes you think about why we are born, why we are here, and what life is about.

I watched F1 twice this weekend. I see why the poster just has Brad Pitt and an F1 car in the background.
F1 is the story of winning a championship and everything else stays on the sidelines.
If you want the thrill of what is essentially a sports movie, check out F1!

The introduction of the reptiles and water animals like seal lions and walruses.
The message about systemic discrimination and corruption by wealthy oligarchs.
