Gone Girl

Jean, This is a long, long entertaining crime drama. At two and one-half hours, it seems too long for the story but it does keep your interest as there are a few twists to understand along the way. Both of the leads are very good. Ben Affleck seems to play himself and that is what is called for in that role in my mind. Rosamund Pike is just about perfect in her role. There are a number of holes in the story that immediately suggest themselves but you go with the story as it carries you along anyway.  Dad

Jean, This is a movie made from the book by the same name. It is the 1700 mile trek made by a young lady, from Alice Springs, Australia to the Indian Ocean in 1977. Mia Wasikowska is the main character and does a fine job. You see some amazing shots of the harsh landscape and learn a lot about camels. (She uses four camels she trains to make the trip as her carrier animals.) Nat'l Geographic Magazine helps with the trip and one of it's photographers is a dramatic character throughout the film. I found it a quite  interesting travel film across a near desert land and the people who endure it's hardships. At the end, they role the credits and show you the  actual people and animals portrayed in the film. (Some animals die but the real life circumstances are explained.)
