Opa is a delightful, upbeat movie, very well directed, acted and filmed. Exquisite scenery of charming Greek island. So refreshing to have a beautiful movie, with a story-line, and no ugly violence. If there were more movies like this, and more people went to see them, our planet would be a better place. Restore some sense of civility to our increasingly violent society.
Soloist is a wonderful movie. The acting is superb. Jamie Foxx and Rober Downey both create real, believable characters, and the chemistry between them is great. Both characters show profound development and growth. It's a great story and, without being "preachy" it has some really good lessons in it. It is nice to have an intelligent movie about an interesting subject, and not just another mindless whodoneit, fatal attraction, or action-packed violence for violence sake. It's a great movie.
