Another Day, Another Movie

****BEDTIME STORIES rated PG. It was cute, fun and funny. I am so at a loss as to what to say about it...It's par for Adam Sandler. We give it 3 diamonds.

****THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON rated PG-13. I really liked this one. I thought it was very well done and tender. Brad Pitt was really good and Cate Blanchet was beautiful. It was interesting and intriguing. It's long, 3 hours, but it keeps your attention. Again we both give it 3 diamonds.

****SEVEN POUNDS rated PG-13. WOW! I thought this was amazing. I've talked to some people who didn't like it. They said they didn't get it and that it was slow but I thought it was so poignant and deep and incredible. It is sad but I think everyone should see it, I would even venture to say that it is life-changing. Will Smith is amazing as always and Rosaria Dawson was really good. A must see, 4 diamonds.

****MARLEY AND ME rated PG. Ok, if your going into this thinking it's a fun, light-hearted movie for kids, your wrong. It has its funny moments and it's very real. It has some adult situations and worries and is quite sad. I know it's stuff that a whole lot of people go through so it is relateable... but sad. but good... Jeff gives it 2, I give it 3

****SPIRIT rated PG-13. Weird. Weird. Very comic book, but not the good kind like Batman, just weird. Good special effects. Eva Mendes is pretty and... different. Samuel L Jackson was good, but evil... and weird. Jeff gives it 2, I give it 1.

****TALE OF DESPERAUX rated PG. Kind of cute but draggy and sad in some ways. Well, it wasn't so bad but it did seem long. It would probably keep the interest of little ones for awhile, some parts were kinda scary. Jeff and I give it 2, Bryce gives it 2 1/2.

****VALKYRIE rated PG-13. It was very interesting to see it played out and to realize that there were people that worked for Hitler who were against him and tried to do something about it. It was very well done and intense. Sad. Good to see to understand. Sad. 4 diamonds.

****YES MAN rated PG-13. I really did like it. I thought Jim Carrey was great and Zoe Dischemel was awesome. There was one scene involving an old woman that was totally uncalled for and disturbing, I wish they would have left that out. For the most part it was really fun and enjoyable. Jeff says 4 diamonds, I say 3 1/2.

****GRAN TORINO rated R. Clint Eastwood was good. He was very angry and unhappy. But over all the acting in it was terrible. It was frustrating at times and quite predictable. I absolutely hate punk kids that think their so tough. This was also sad but I did like it. Jeff liked how Clint Eastwood was so prejidiced and would just say it how he saw it. That was funny. He only gives it 1, I think 2.
