I saw Jules, starring Ben Kingsley-Ender's Game, Iron Man 3; Harriet Sansom Harris-Licorice Pizza, Desperate Housewives_tv; Jane Curtin-The Spy Who Loved Me, 3rd Rock From the Sun_tv and Jade Quon-Transformers:The Last Knight, Iron Man 3.
This was an unexpectedly nice little movie, except for the ending. Ben plays a 78 year old man living by himself in Pennsylvania. He goes to town meetings every month talking about mundane issues-street crosswalks, town motto changes, etc-until a UFO crash lands in his backyard. He calls 911 and reports it, but no one believes him. Ben has been having memory problems lately where he repeats himself a lot and puts things in the wrong places-a can of beans in the bathroom, a newspaper in the freezer. All signs seem to point to early Alzheimer's. When he checks back on the UFO, Jade has crawled out of it and collapsed, so Ben takes him into the house and takes care of him. Harriet and Jane are two friends from the town meetings that get roped into the mix when they discover Jade. Jade doesn't talk but draws pictures-a hint: the pictures are important. Ben, Harriet and Jane try to keep Jade a secret from everyone else while Jade tries to repair the UFO and all 4 begin to bond and become friends. Oh yeah, the government is also trying to find the ship and any occupants.
It's rated PG-13 for language and has a running time of 1 hour & 30 minutes.
Like I said earlier, the ending was the only thing that they could have done better, but it was still an emotional and upbeat journey and it would be a good one to stream.
