Welcome to our blog! Here you will find our opinions on the movies we see...and, we see a lot of them! We are not professional movie critics, just movie lovers! Although, who wouldn't love to get paid to watch movies?? That would be the ultimate dream job (she says :) We also write these at different times, so we don't "play" off one another.

Courageous
He said: Good movie about men being good fathers. Acting is a little substandard, but overall a good family movie. Grade: B+
She said: I really enjoyed this movie. Some humor, some tragedy, a lot of life lessons. Great movie for the family. No bad language...a great story. May need some tissue!
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
He said: I wasn't a huge fan of the first movie, not really a fan of this movie, either. Just not my kind of movie. I'm not a huge Robert Downey fan so maybe that makes me a little biased, but I just did not enjoy this movie. Grade: C-
She said: I didn't like the first one, and I didn't like the second one! I think it's the directing I don't like, hard to follow fight scenes, accents so thick I couldn't understand some things they were saying. I love the Sherlock Holmes character, just not a fan of these movies.
Girl With A Dragon Tattoo
He said: If you've read the book or seen the Swedish movie, you know what to expect. An intriguing murder mystery with graphic/brutal sex scenes including a very disturbing rape scene. Not for the faint of heart. I could not recommend this movie to any of my friends, it's just too graphic. Grade: A for story and suspense, F for graphic nature. Overall: C-
She said: Very graphic sex and rape scenes!! Language rough.! That being said, I love criminal thrillers and this was a story of a 40 year old murder. I like the idea of trying to figure out who dunnit. NOT a movie for kids/young teenagers in my opinion.
In Time
He said: Very interesting concept for a movie, very original. The more I watch Justin Timberlake on screen, the more I like him. Overall good dollar date movie. Grade: B
She said: These kind of movies usually drive me crazy. But, it was actually pretty good. I've said before that a day will come that we will all have chips in us to pay for stuff and not swipe cards anymore....this movie is a little scary in that regard! Overall pretty good movie

Abduction
He said: I wasn't expecting very much from this movie, but it kinda surprised me. A lot of action and excitement. Taylor Lautner is not the best actor in the world, but he did an OK job. Good dollar movie. Grade: B-
She said: I thought this movie was pretty good. Good action. Wasn't sure if Taylor Lautner could pull it off, but he did pretty good. Good for a Redbox rental.
New Year's Eve
He said: Think Valentine's Day-Part 2. Huge ensemble cast with several stories woven together. Not a bad date movie. Grade: C
She said: Lots of famous faces in this movie. Lots of stories going on at once, and even a little guessing game sprinkled throughout the movie. You'll see when you watch it. I liked this movie. It was about second chances, taking risks, and helping people live their dreams. There was some bad language, but overall this was a good, fun and sweet movie. Would recommend this one.
Tower Heist
He said: Not a big Ben Stiller fan. And, this movie didn't change that! Pretty good cast, but this movie never really felt right. Wait for Redbox. Grade:C-
She said: As I've said before, there are some movies where the trailer is the funniest part. Well, this is one of them. A lot of crude language, wouldn't want to watch this with my teenagers. The acting wasn't great..this was just pretty much a mediocre movie. Wouldn't hurt to skip this one, or not pay more than a Redbox amount!
We Bought A Zoo
He said: This was a good movie, not great. The language was a little worse than I expected. I thought Matt Damon did a good job portraying a man dealing with the loss of his wife. This movie is based on a true story which is pretty cool. Grade: B
She said: Good movie based on a true story. A little slow at times, but overall feel good movie. I think the language was a little surprising and the little girl calls a man a derogatory name. But, other than that...it was cute.
Misson Impossible-Ghost Protocol
He said: I'm not a huge Tom Cruise fan, but I really enjoyed this movie. A lot of action and thrilling stunts. Also, very cool BMW's. This movie was a little easier to follow than some of the other Mission Impossible films and this was my favorite of all of them. Grade: B+
She said: I'm not really a Tom Cruise fan, but I have to say I enjoyed this movie. Action packed, some humor, great scenery. Language not horrible either. Good date day movie....oh yeah...forgot to mention all the awesome cars...guys should love that :)

Paranormal Activity 3
He said: I don't like these kinds of movies.
She said: OMG...I jumped and screamed out loud in the theater! Lots of suspenseful moments! The ending left a lot to be desired, but overall, it was a good scary movie! Be prepared to jump!
The Twilight Saga-Breaking Dawn Part 1
He said: Didn't see this one.
She said: This was the best one of the bunch!! Of course, I enjoyed the last book too, so naturally I would like this one the best. I hate that they are splitting it into 2 parts, because I didn't want it to end. I have to say, I watched this with my teenage daughter and was pretty uncomfortable during the honey moon scene. Not that they showed a lot of skin, but the implication and "movements" were there! Other than that, it was good :)
