Looking at the list, as a movie watcher, I am a bit behind in seeing a majority (if not all) the nominees before the Academy Awards ceremony March 27. But first, I have movies to blog that I have been watching un until this time, so here's the first one......
Movie #2069 "Boundaries" (DVD netflix) I watched this because I thought it was Plummer's last film, but I found out it wasn't. However, I am glad to see him in this to remind me (and every moviegoer) just how wonderfully good he was as an actor, and we shall miss him. That being said, this movie was pretty meh to me. Even with the great Vera Farmiga lending a hand in support to the film, it failed to interest me much. The characters wore on me, but the film offered an interesting take on dysfunctional- road- trips- with -an -80 -year -old- trying- to -sell- weed -from- the- back- of- his -truck- when -his -daughter -and- grandson -are- in -it genre --- it needed more to the story and more humor. I don't recommend it unless you are maybe a fan of either Farmiga or Plummer. Casting the boy a bit better might have helped - he left no impression on me. 3.5 out of 5.
