STORM BOY: Another wonderful movie

I never thought of pelicans as cuddly birds until watching this movie. I am amazed it is already offered free on Kanopy as it was only released in theaters in April. I have never watched a movie with Geoffrey Rush I didn't like. The book is based on an Australian children's book and repenned for the big screen as a multi-generational bittersweet film.

Thank you so much for recommending Kanopy. My library participates, and I can hardly wait to start watching. Do keep sharing your movie recommendations, too, please!

momto1 -- I am thrilled to be the one to make you aware of KANOPY through your public library. It is absolutely the best free streaming movie site ever. My own library has decided that on-line COURSES do not count as movies and members have unlimited access to them. Enjoy. Aren't you glad you have a library card? Mine is my favorite piece of plastic.

Karen and justaweecatnap -- I am glad you two are enjoying my movie reviews. I'll keep them coming. I might watch BREATHE again. With Kanopy you can keep watching the same movie over and over again for three straight days and it won't count in your allotted limit. justaweecatnap...you will love the Australian movie about the Pelicans. I would love to know how they were trained.
