Doctor Zhivago (2002)



Young and beautiful Lara is loved by three men: a revolutionary, a mogul, and a doctor. Their lives become intertwined with the drama of Russian revolution.

TV adaptation with high production value and capable cast is long-drawn-out and not really an improvement to David Lean's version.

On rewatching: My first impression was correct; nice to watch, if you have the time.

Paddington 2 (2017)



Paddington, now happily settled with the Brown family and a popular member of the local community, picks up a series of odd jobs to buy the perfect present for his Aunt Lucy's 100th birthday, only for the gift to be stolen.

A sequel equally likeable and entertaining as the original, lively and suspenseful and Hugh Grant perfectly cast as the sneaky villain.

Paddington (2014)



A young Peruvian bear travels to London in search of a home and finds himself lost and alone at Paddington Station, where he meets a kindly family, who offer him a temporary haven.

Lovable combination of animation and real-life movie is great tasteful entertainmenr for kids and adults alike; nice touch to see Nicole Kidman as the villain.
