Weekend Films: A Safari Romance, Heart of Stone, Jules; Red, White & Royal Blue and The Last Voyage of the Demeter

Okay, I know it's been a while since I've posted a Weekend Films especially since I continue to watch so many new movies. Anyway, there are five movies that I want to see: A Safari Romance, Heart of Stone, Jules; Red, White & Royal Blue and The Last Voyage of the Demeter. There are quite a few choices and genres: two romantic comedies (A Safari Romance and Red, White & Royal Blue), an action movie (Heart of Stone), a sci-fi comedy (Jules) and horror (The Last Voyage of the Demeter).

Okay, so it's technically four movies I want to see, since I've already watched Red, White & Royal Blue yesterday. But that doesn't mean I can't watch it again which I'll probably do after I watch Heart of Stone. Because it's a wonderful, absolutely terrific film that has all the elements of a classic romantic comedy. I'll definitely count it as one of my favorite movies and romantic comedies.

As for the other movies, they seem really interesting first is A Safari Romance which has a biologist and a theme park designer exploring the wilderness and of course finding love. Second is Heart of Stone which looks like an exciting action movie centered around a shadowy organization and missing technology. Third is Jules a sci-fi comedy that looks like a fun movie about a group of senior citizens caring for an alien. And finally, The Last Voyage of the Demeter a horror movie that centers around the crew of the Demeter who unknowingly were transporting one of the greatest evils, Dracula. I keep saying I'm going to read Dracula by Bram Stoker but so far I have yet to get around to it. Anyway, can't wait to see this movie and the others.
