I don't like movies with violence.
I don't like movies with love scenes.
I don't like immodesty or anything illegal.
Kids movies and animal documentaries general bore me.
Makes the quest for movies tricky. They can only re-make the Jane Austens so fast . . .
But every now and then I find a movie that's clean enough and quirky enough and interesting enough.
Like The Big Year, which came out in 2011, with Steve Martin and Jack Black (be impressed that I know any actors' names at all).
It's about.
Birding.
You know, people who roam the country looking at birds.
It was just about my pace.
And I liked it.
Liz, have you seen this one? You'll like the national sweep of landscape and the portrayal of people obsessed with birding.
But caution: There is swearing and some sensuality. So watch it before you watch it with your kids.
