Blue Valentine


He said:  I really wanted to see this movie because it had a lot of Oscar buzz around it during Oscar time.  I must say that the acting was really good.  But, this may be the most depressing movie I have seen in some time.  If you feel like being sad and bummed out, I would recommend this movie.  Otherwise, don't even think about it.  Grade:  Acting: A...Movie:  C-

She said: OMG...one of the saddest and most depressing movies I've seen in a long time.  The actors did an incredible job of making me believe them, but I swear after this movie I felt like I wanted to go lie in the middle of Bobby Jones expressway!!  I still am questioning what the real problem with the characters was, but I thought the movie was believable. I wouldn't recommend this one unless you just want to have a reason to be depressed!

Thor


He said:  I usually like super hero movies and this was no exception.  The plot was a little weak, but overall I really enjoyed the movie.  It was entertaining and you can escape for a couple of hours.  Grade:  B

She said:  I liked this movie, although I'm not normally into super heros.  It had humor and good special effects, and a hottie with a hammer!  And, I always love when they put a little snippet at the VERY end of the trailers of the upcoming movie.  A fun movie, I would recommend it...and the language wasn't horrible (a couple or "wordy dirds")

Country Strong


He said:  I didn't really like any part of this movie.  However, Gwenyth Paltrow is a pretty good singer.  None of the characters ever really felt connected to me.  Glad it was just a dollar Redbox!  Grade:  D

She said:  I really didn't want to see this movie, not sure why.  But, it was pretty good.  Gwyneth Paltrow can definetly sing.  The movie did have a good bit of rough language.  It wasn't one of my favorites but it was ok as a Redbox rental.  It was a pretty sad and depressing movie to me, maybe that's why it wasn't one of my favorites

Soul Surfer


He said:  This movie was about what I expected.  It was a feel good movie about a tragic event.  It's about a girl who got her arm bitten off by a shark while surfing.  The movie focuses on her determination to return to surfing, even with her disability.  With the support of her family and faith, she was able to return to competitive surfing.  The movie was pretty inspiring, I must say. Grade:  B+

She  said:  This was a good movie...inspiring I guess you could say.  Of course, it is about a true story of a surfer that was attacked by a shark and lost an arm.  The movie takes you through her struggles and how she works through them.  Even has a little spiritual approach, which is refreshing in a movie.  No bad language that I can remember.
