My Family 9/10
Older film, 1995 I think. Well put together family drama following several generations of Latinos. I read one review after seeing it that called it either an epic or a saga, not sure what makes that distinction. It does run kind of long but I was never bored. Stars Edward James Olmos, Jennifer Lopez and Jimmy Smits.
A Life Less Ordinary 8/10
Very, very different movie. Maybe I was just I the mood for something other then Good cop/Bad cop, two buddy rouge cops take on the system and win, person takes on the world and wins etc... All too often I watch something only to get the feeling "I've seen this before," almost like I know what going to happen next. It was nice to see a movie where I kept wondering what's coming next.
