Today's Writing Prompt: Best Movie
Continuing our theme, how about the best movie you have seen recently? What made it so good?
My new best movie I've ever seen is St. Vincent starring Bill Murray and Melissa McCarthy. It was genius from the very first joke to the last scene. These two actors are among my list of favourites and the story was touching and surprising and full of pathos and humour. A real mixture. But the star of the show is Jaeden Lieberher who plays Oliver, the little boy who befriends Vincent, played by Murray.
