Lost in Space (2018)
MORE !
Not perfect (especially script filling: unnecessarily long dramatic pauses and debates between characters) but definitely left me wanting to know what happens next. Plot close enough to original to give hope, but far enough from it to leave imagination spinning.
Marine Life (2000)
gritty romantic/family comedy of dysfunctional but warm family
Very European style film(as Canadian cinema tends to be)--emphasis on story and atmosphere, no car chases or messages or good/evil moral duality required. Just gritty reality of real people full of real love and forgiveness despite anger at inevitable flaws. Life is hard so grab real love where you can--and the main characters are full of real love. Reminiscent of Roseanne and other warm but real and not sweet tales of modern times, such as Cybill's other work--e.g. her eponymous TV series. Left me wanting a sequel, the characters were so engaging.Can't find it on Amazon-- would like a copy if anyone knows how to find copies of obscure CBC productions. Title refers to their life in a port city where their jobs and interests revolve around the shipping industry and the main protagonists have a love of whales.
