I was off yesterday with a bad knee - had to keep my leg up so i watched movies:


On the Nose

i think this was a movie made by Canadians - shot in Ireland
Dan Aykroyd and Robbie Coltrane in a comedy about a medical specimen head in a jar that can predict horse race winners

Here's to Life

Another Canadian flick about a senior (James Whitmore) who blackmails the young, seemingly uncaring head of a seniors home into taking him and a couple of others (including Ozzie Davis) on a road trip. I actually teared up a couple of times at this one

RUSH - Beyond the Lighted Stage

Documentary about the Canadian band RUSH. Really enjoyed this - Was very surprised at the number of extremely well known and diverse american musicians who were influenced by these guys.

Year of the Dog

Molly Shannon plays a lonely woman and her relationships with dogs vs people. Also very sad in parts.

The 300 Spartans

Older telling about the 300 men who held off (for a time) the Persian army from invading Greece and inspired the rest of a divided Greece to do the rest.
