Watched some good movies on DVD this week

Sometimes, what I get from the library are real disappointments, but this week I lucked out and had several really good movies. 1. 2016 "Allied": Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard acted well - in the first half Cotillard was superb and Pitt in the second half I thought. A good review is http://variety.com/2016/film/reviews/allied-review-brad-pitt-marion-cotillard-1201918954/ though I don't necessary agree about the review of the ending. I thought the ending was moving, may be somewhat enigmatic. Direction was absolutely fantastic. 2. Miss Sloane: I watched only about the first half and was feeling sleepy and went bed. Pari watched it completely and said it was a good movie starring Jessica Chastain who has acted superbly. The movie is about politics, gun-lobbying... 3. Passengers, a sci-fi starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt doesn't necessarily get rave reviews. But I found it quite entertaining. Lawrence has acted beautifully.
