Kit Harington from "Game of Thrones" plays the lead in this based on true events story of a city lost. Think of it like a volcano version of "Titanic." The disaster is real but everything else is left up to interpretation.
Nebraska is about an elder man played to perfection by Bruce Dern who receives a letter in the mail stating he MAY have won the lottery (sort of like Publisher's Clearinghouse). He decides to walk from Billings MT to Lincoln NB to collect. Of course his two grown sons and wife object. No one thinks he's won except him, but that's not the real point. When his youngest son (Will Forte) decides to drive his dad it's an adventure that changes their lives and everyone around them.
Philomena Lee is a 70 something woman still looking for the son taken away from her when she was just 20 years old. And that's all I can say without giving away the plot. BUT I loved it...
I stumbled on this movie called "Act Your Age" when my co-host Doug showed it to me. The plot revolves around former Y&R actor Michael Muhney as Lake, a struggling actor. He keeps getting turned down for roles because he is too young, but casting directors compliment him on his acting. Adding to this is his fear of old people as his parents died in a car accident years prior. He tries maintaining a relationship with his younger sister who lives with their aunt as well as his nurse girlfriend (played by Adrienne Frantz). He gets an idea to pretend to be an old person with the help of his friends (a doctor that can make him look old and a clumsy friend named Vaughn who provides much foil/comic relief for him). His plan to pretend to be old works and he gets a job in a play. To ensure authenticity the producers send "the old man" to a nursing home. Here is where Lake/old man gains more respect for old people and himself. Pat Morita is in the movie as well :)
