Cavorting the Sydney to Lexington adventure involves three legs in the air. Sydney to Los Angeles. Los Angeles to Chicago O'Hare and then Chicago to Blue Grass Lexington. Long time in the air.
Longer if one of the legs, say Chicago, happens upon itself snowstorms and thick layers of white weather powder delaying the connection of other legs and leaving passengers aplenty at the airport.
Only time for a large slathering of movies to watch and pass and blackout to happens to be on the Sydney to LAX leg of the trip. Long haul, and without good movies, feels even longer.
Daniel Radcliffe and three Aussie co-star kids running about a beach looking for parents. They being orphans and all born a December month. The parents in this case looking to test run how they'll be as a family unit and figuring out which of the orphan boys to call "son" and mean it. Underlying note of sadness with a few light points along the way. Overall a really nice warm glass of milk of a way to ease into flying back over the Pacific Ocean again.
Casey Affleck and possibly Michelle Monahagn standing outside on the street talking about something. And it's not even sure of remembering these two actors as actually being in the movie itself. Quite the blue tone though, like sepia only on a melancholy or down mood. Time for a nap.
Cate Blanchett returns as Queen Elizabeth in this sequel where the eyes are heavy, the night is low and the light wants to sleep away. One slow dance of a rather adulteress hint with Sir Walter Raleigh along with the subtitled opening sequence of events leading to her possible ousting is what little remains in the mind of this.
Time again for a snooze but after they pass out the ham rolls wrapped in cling wrap as the midnight snack.
How this movie finds itself playing on the small screen twice is possibly kicking out another film. All in all the only scene happens to be the minutes just before the end credits roll. Wondering why it's possible to see George Clooney sitting in a car in the same scene with no recollection of doing anything productive between.
Then again, it is the in-flight movie marathon.
Closing out the roll but not the flight. Awake enough from the rough and tumble turbulence to see Natalie Portman pixie it up charmingly against Dustin Hoffman. Magic toy store that comes to life and fights against its own death. Wonderful atmosphere, odd characters, entertaining props and a quick yet strange film to eat up before breakfast tottles around later in the day/night/day.
Week near come and gone with the feet firmly on the Kentucky ground and the first and last cinematic shots obviously the better of the rest.
