Director: Luc Besson
Principal Cast: Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman
I love Luc Besson's films. They are quite silly at times but so enjoyable. Leon: The Professional and The Fifth Element being two of my favourites.
In this Sci fi a woman accidentally caught in drug trafficking transforms into a 'super' human after the drugs that have been planted inside her leak and allow her too use over 80% of her brain capacity. Silly but good.

Finding Vivian Maier (2013)
Last year I discovered a book that contained photographs taken by Vivian Maier a nanny in the US. The photographs are stunning, but what made this intriguing was that the photos she had taken were never developed during her lifetime. She liked taking photos but never developed them.
Finding Vivian is a documentary on the nanny whose cache of 100,000 photographs earned her a posthumous reputation as one of the most accomplished street photographers. I can't wait to see this.
Directed by John Maloof and Charlie Siskel.
