The first movie this week is 10 Cloverfield Lane. This 2016 mystery film stars John Goodman, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and John Gallagher Jr. This is a film for TB2K to appreciate. It's different, they're in a bunker, it's probably very dangerous outside, it might be dangerous inside, a crazy? older fellow is keeping a young woman from leaving (for her own protection...), and a younger guy agrees it is dangerous outside and they're all lucky to be in the bunker. What is really happening? It's a fun film to be appreciated by this board.

- After getting in a car accident, a woman is held in a shelter by a man who claims that the outside world is affected by a widespread chemical attack.

After getting in a car accident, Michelle awakens to find herself in a mysterious bunker with two men named Howard and Emmett. Howard offers her a pair of crutches to help her remain mobile with her leg injury sustained from the car crash and tells her to "get good on those" before leaving the bunker. She has been given the information that there has been an alien attack and the outside world is poisoned. However, Howard and Emmett's intentions soon become questionable and Michelle is faced with a question: Is it better in here or out there?

The second movie is Big Trouble in Little China. This 1986 adventure film stars Kurt Russell, Kim Cattrall, Dennis Dun, and Victor Wong. It's a classic John Carpenter film.

- A rough-and-tumble trucker helps rescue his friend's fiancée from an ancient sorcerer in a supernatural battle beneath Chinatown.

When trucker Jack Burton agreed to take his friend Wang Chi to pick up his fiancee at the airport, he never expected to get involved in a supernatural battle between good and evil. Wang's fiancee has emerald green eyes, which make her a perfect target for an immortal sorcerer named Lo Pan and his three invincible cronies. Lo Pan must marry a girl with green eyes so he can regain his physical form. Now, Jack must save Wang's fiancee from Lo Pan and his henchmen, and win back his stolen truck. But how can he defeat an enemy who has no body?

The third movie is Lawrence of Arabia. This 1962 epic adventure stars Peter O'Toole, Alec Guiness, Anthony Quinn, and Omar Sharif.

- The story of T. E. Lawrence, the English officer who successfully united and led the diverse, often warring, Arab tribes during World War I in order to fight the Turks.

An inordinately complex man who has been labelled everything from hero, to charlatan, to sadist, T. E. Lawrence blazed his way to glory in the Arabian desert, then sought anonymity as a common soldier under an assumed name. The story opens with the death of Lawrence in a motorcycle accident in Dorset at the age of forty-six, then flashbacks to recount his adventures: as a young intelligence officer in Cairo in 1916, he is given leave to investigate the progress of the Arab revolt against the Turks in World War I. In the desert, he organizes a guerrilla army and, for two years, leads the Arabs in harassing the Turks with desert raids, train-wrecking, and camel attacks. Eventually, he leads his army northward and helps a British General destroy the power of the Ottoman Empire.

The fourth movie is Earth Girls Are Easy. This 1988 comedy stars Geena Davis, Jeff Goldblum, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans, and Julie Brown.

- A Southern California girl befriends three furry aliens after their spaceship lands in her swimming pool.

Three furry (and funny) aliens travel around the universe in a spaceship and receive a broadcast showing human females. They are fascinated by these shapely creatures and discover that the broadcast came from Southern California on Earth. Meanwhile, Valley girl Valerie Gail feels her cold fiancé Dr. Ted Gallagher is slipping away and decides to seduce him. Instead, she catches him cheating on her with a nurse, throws him out, smashes his things, and refuses to see him again. The aliens' spaceship crash lands in Valerie's swimming pool - putting a decided damper on her future wedding plans in Las Vegas. She brings them into her home; and the aliens prove to be quick learners and absorb American popular culture and language through television.

The fifth movie is Groundhog Day. This 1993 comedy romance stars Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, and Chris Elliot.

- A weatherman finds himself inexplicably living the same day over and over again.

A weather man is reluctantly sent to cover a story about a weather forecasting "rat" (as he calls it). This is his fourth year on the story, and he makes no effort to hide his frustration. On awaking the following day he discovers that it's Groundhog Day again, and again, and again. First he uses this to his advantage, then comes the realisation that he is doomed to spend the rest of eternity in the same place, seeing the same people do the same thing EVERY day.

Give 10 Cloverfield Lane a try. If you aren't sure about it, watch the trailer.
Whatever you think it might be, you're probably both right and wrong :)
