Movie Review: ****The Age of Adaline (2015)

By some fluke, involving drowning and lightening, Adaline (Blake Lively) does not age.  She has a daughter (Ellen Burstyn), and this movie centers around many years later, when her daughter is an old lady, and Adaline is still a young beautiful woman.  Adaline has always been wary of giving herself to anyone, because she knows they will grow old, and she will not, and her secret will come back to haunt her.  However, she finally falls for philanthropist Ellis Jones (Michiel Huisman).  In meeting his parents a predicament arises.  She is recognized by Ellis' father (Harrison Ford) and she quickly claims to be her grandmother.  Father buys this, but eventually realizes his son is in love with the same woman he loved some forty years before.  She immediately runs, but then waivers.  How can this ever be put right?
I always enjoy Harrison Ford, and the two lead characters truly sparkle and do a great job.  However Harrison's wife (Kathy Baker), who confronts her husband's past relationship, after 40 years of marriage, is the one who really has to act.

Movie Review: **^Interstellar (2014)

I found Interstellar to be confusing and in the end a bunch of mumble jumble.  It is about an astronaut, who leaves his family, but somehow by twisting universes, he is able to visit them as a ghost.  He finally returns to his family, his daughter's death bed, while he has not aged much because everything is relative.  It uses ideas about gravity and time and jumbles this all together.
Move stars Matthew McConaughey as the astronaut, John Lithgow as his father, Mackenzie Foy as his youth daughter, and Ellen Burstyn as his adult daughter.  Anne hathaway stars as a fellow astronaut.
