-- On Netflix I watched Mathew Goode and Amy Adams in a romantic comedy called Leap Year. It is flawed and silly, but it did follow the
expectations of romantic comedies -- the characters and the movie run into
trouble along the way but we have a happy expectation about how it will
work out
. . . .a "safe" movie for me to watch these days.


-- On Netflix a few weeks ago also I watched Helen Hunt's Ride.
This was more serious than Leap Year but more beautiful to watch because lots of the action involved Helen Hunt's character learning to surf.
Luke Wilson is her teacher and the other supporting actors are good as well . . . . The end is satisfying and maybe inspiring.
