Argo (2012)
Inspired from an amazing true story. During the Iran hostage crisis (1979-81), the CIA created a fake sci-fi movie project untitled Argo. This was part of a plan to free six Americans who took shelter at the home of the Canadian ambassador.

NASA’s Curiosity rover mission has found evidence a stream once ran vigorously across the area on Mars where the rover is driving. There is earlier evidence for the presence of water on Mars, but this evidence — images of rocks containing ancient streambed gravels — is the first of its kind.

Robot & Frank (2012)
Set in the near future, Frank, a retired cat burglar, has two grown kids who are concerned he can no longer live alone. They are tempted to place him in a nursing home until Frank’s son chooses a different option: against the old man’s wishes, he buys Frank a walking, talking humanoid robot programmed to improve his physical and mental health.
This little film seems interesting. A robot and an old man, a simple idea, but really original. There is a tumbleblog for this film, with nice pictures.
