COLLATERAL BEAUTY

Well, to shake things up a tad, the Friday Movie Mavens and The Travelling Toe went to the cinema on a Wednesday.  With the holiday season in full force, it is somewhat difficult to find time to fit a movie in but we were successful.  The movie we saw at the local Movie Tavern was "Collateral Beauty".  This is the type of movie that will not hang around too long as it does not have superheroes or major CGI effects, just a lot of angst.

"Collateral Beauty" is a story about Howard Inlet, a man who has suffered a major tragedy that causes him to retreat from family, friends, his business and life in general.  His three business partners in their advertising firm are facing major financial issues and they need Howard to be part of the solution to the company delimela.  But all he does is ride his bike to work, setting up integrate domino toppling patterns, and as he leaves for the day he topples the first domino setting off the sequence with the rest of the dominos beginning to fall. The three friends decide to have a PI follow Howard to figure out how to help him.  The PI finds that he writes letters to 3 people - Death, Love,Time.  So how do they use that information to help their friend and ultimately themselves?  Well, Dear Readers, you will just have to see the movie yourself to find out.
