A Walk in the Woods (2015)

 

After spending two decades in England, Bill Bryson returns to the U.S., where he decides the best way to connect with his homeland is to hike the Appalachian Trail with one of his oldest friends, Stephen Katz.

Likeable, leisurely paced road movie has its amusing moments, some good landscape cinematography, and Redford and Nolte seem to be enjoying themselves, fully at ease with the characters they are playing.

 

The Founder (2016)

The story of Ray Kroc, a salesman who turned two brothers' innovative fast food eatery, McDonald's, into one of the biggest restaurant businesses in the world.

Intriguing and ultimately sad tale of greed vs. quality and integrity that exemplifies the making of an American corporation, although the movie ostensibly omits any social and political issues of the topic; Michael Keaton is perfect as the shallow and heartless door-to-door salesman that becomes a brutal corporate magnate.
