A few years ago, there was a creepy movie (at least to me) that came out called, "Her." In it, a man basically fell in love with the "Siri" of his phone.

And look, I'm not saying I couldn't fall in love with the voice of Scarlett Johansson easily-I could-but, the whole concept seemed a bit far-fetched.

"Marjorie Prime"? (cast pictured above) Not so much. Here is the official synopsis:

“In the near future, a time of artificial intelligence: 86-year-old Marjorie (veteran actress Lois Smith)—a jumble of disparate, fading memories—has a handsome new companion (Jon Hamm) who looks like her deceased husband and is programmed to feed the story of her life back to her. What would we remember, and what would we forget, if given the chance? Also starring Geena Davis and Tim Robbins, Marjorie Prime is based on Jordan Harrison’s Pulitzer-nominated play, exploring memory and identity, love and loss.”

This looks like one of the most interesting movies of the year NO DOUBT!!!
