The Sheep Detective

Super cute, stars Hugh Jackman, Emma Thompson, and a handful of other well known actors.  It's about a shepherd that loves his sheep and he loves them.  He would read them murder mysteries every night.  One night he is murdered and the sheep decide that they are going to help the bumbling town cop (this all takes place in England I think) to solve the murder.

It's very family friendly and a good whodunit.  

I enjoyed it.  Would have loved to see more Emma Thompson as she was fun to watch.  I got nit picky (because that’s what I do for fun) with some of the world-building around the sheep, but it’s not like it’s going to be turned into a series of films with multiple storylines, etc.

I'm looking forward to watching this one myself. Yes it is set in England, with a very good cast. I have always found Hugh Jackman to be a very good actor, and person. Emma Thompson came through into acting, with a number of other actors, male and female in the early 80's. All various degrees of success.

The Devil's Mouth

It's free on prime or hulu or netflix...can't remember which one we saw it on.  It's a very typical 'college kids' exotic vacation goes bad when something maneating appears where it's not supposed to be' tale.  The director does not try to surprise anyone, the trope plays out exactly how you are expecting it to.  You might hate the characters more than usually though because they are even more dumb than usual.

I watched this with my 12 year old because it looked like a fun, mindless and harmless, scary movie and that's exactly what it was.  I wouldn't want to spend any money on it but if you or your kids like nature monster movies then it could be a fun way to bond for an hour and half.

She does feel kind of wasted in the role.
