In Our Nature (2012)
Save it for a rainy Sunday, and watch it in bed.
I enjoyed it because I already expected it would be slow and pointless. Undramatic and simple, yet entertaining. A Father and son, arrive at their cottage, each with their girlfriend, thinking they'd have the cabin alone for a romantic weekend getaway, and unpleasantly surprised to find they're not alone. The two couples are at different life stages, with differing life philosophies, forced to spend a weekend together, learning about each other, with first disdain and then later mend and relationships grow. It's alright, not anything spectacular, but it's a nice, slow-paced movie, that centers around a father and son who don't really know much each other.
Liz & Dick (2012)
Lindsay did Elizabeth well
I had heard the bad reviews before hand, which may have lessened my expectations, but I really enjoyed the movie. I was impressed by Lohan's authenticity and I found myself wrapped up in their romance, I even cried at the end. I do not understand the harsh critical reviews she has received, and I think public opinion of Lindsay has caused her to be dismissed prematurely. She was a great little actress as a child, which, coupled with her resemblance, made her the perfect actress to play Elizabeth who also acted as a child, and in Liz & Dick she proved to me that she still has it.
As for Grant Bowler, he too gave a wonderful performance as Richard, and I thought Bowler and Lohan had an electricity between them which was fitting. Liz & Dick surpassed my expectations and deserves more success.
Give this movie a chance.
