This week the weather kept Alice from seeing everything she had planned, but she did get to see The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, with Maggie Smith, Judi Dench, and Bill Nighy. This sequel didn't completely wow Alice with it's screenplay, but the acting did not disappoint. Alice was planning to see Chappie and Unfinished Business, but the snow and ice made those plans change. However, she did give us some details about the movies. Chappie is from one of Alice's favorite filmmakers, Neill Blomkamp, and stars Sharlto Copley, Dev Patel, and Hugh Jackman. This movie takes a different look at artificial intelligence. Unfinished Business stars Vince Vaughn, Tom Wilkinson, and Dave Franco as business partners on a business trip that goes wrong in Germany.
