African Cats

He said:  Typical Earth Day Disney nature film.  Visually very well done.  Love the scenery of the Masi Maura in Kenya.  Grade:B+

She said:  This is our yearly tradition of seeing the Earth Day movie.  This documentary follows a lions pride and some cheetahs.  About what you would expect from a documentary about animals.  Can see the same thing on Animal Planet.

Arthur

He said:  Not a fan of Russell Brand, or this movie.  Didn't like much about it at all.  Two positives were Helen Miren as Hobson and Arthur finally realizing he had a serious drinking problem and seeking help for it.  Don't waste your time, not even for $2.  Grade:  D-

She said:  First of all, let me say that I am not a big fan of Russell Brand.  I just don't think he is all that funny.  Of course, this is a remake of the original movie from the late 70's-early 80's.  The main character is an alcoholic billionaire that has never had to do anything for himself.  I thought the movie was a little cheesy and wasn't really impressed with it at all.  Not worth the money.

Hanna

He said:  Interesting movie, if you think a 12 yr old girl assassin is interesting.  This movie was just ok for me...it just seemed a little far fetched and forced at times.  Wait for the dollar movies. Grade:  C

She said:  This movie was ok..I had a hard time getting the story figured out.  Kind of skimped on some details.  Had the usual blood and guts....wouldn't recommend paying full price for this one.

Source Code

He said:  Very interesting movie.  I really liked the premise of the movie, and even though I'm a border line genius (if you know me, you know what this means), it was a little confusing to me.  It was one of those movies that when you leave the theater, your not sure what just happened.  Which is good...and bad!  I enjoyed the characters and the story line.  Good overall movie.  Grade:  B+

She said:  This kind of movie drives me crazy...because it takes me days to think about it and figure it out!  It was a pretty fast paced movie and I was doing good figuring it out until the end!  If you like movies with time alteration stuff in it..you will probably like it.  One F bomb and a couple other cuss words and no nudity (imagine that!).

Nothing But The Truth

He said:  We watched this movie the other night because it was suggested by a friend.  About 10 minutes into the movie, I realized that we had seen it a while back, but thought...what the heck, let's watch it anyway.  I enjoyed the movie, it was smart and well written.  It shows the extraordinary lengths that some reporters have to go through to protect their sources.  Overall good movie for a Netflix rental.  Grade:  B-


She said:  I thought when I started watching this movie that I had seen it before.  That goes to show you how many movies we watch!!  I liked this movie.  It's about a reporter that goes to extreme lengths to protect her source.  The language was rough but the overall movie was good.  How far would you go to protect someone?  A surprise twist at the end!  Good for a rainy day rental.

HOP

He said:  Didn't see this movie, not my type.

She said:  I took my daughter and her friend to see this movie.  As you know, the movie trailers always make a movie seem funny.  And, that's what it did.  I would say this is a cute movie for kids...family friendly.  It just didn't do a whole lot for me.  There were some cute moments and I probably would have enjoyed it more if I had small kids who were enjoying it.  Not worth the full price, in my opinion.  It did have some good music in it though :)
