The Vow

He said:  Well, this is a good date movie...not great, but good.  I thought Channing Tatum did a good job.  This is based on a true story, which makes it pretty neat.  It shows the importance of commitment, regardless of the circumstances.  Grade: B

She said:  Good movie inspired by true events.  This movie is a tearjerker, for sure!  Was a little slow at times, but was a good movie.  Some bad language, but nothing overboard.  The story about a woman who loses her memory of her husband in an accident and the road to recovery.  Take your tissues!!  Would recommend this one!

Joyful Noise

He said:  A pretty good movie, typical/predictable...I had some laughs.  Definetly wait for Redbox.  Grade:  C

She said:  Cute movie, cute story....predictable but fun.  Good music.  A little cheesy but fun for a rental.

Safe House

He said:  Me and my son went to see this movie, thought it would be a good "guy" kind of movie.  I love Denzel Washington, he's one of my favorite all time actors.  The movie was very suspenseful and action packed.  It was a typical CIA double crossing type of movie.  Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington had great chemistry.  Very good movie.  Grade:  B

She said:  I got left behind for this movie.......what in the world were they thinking??!!  I WILL see this movie at some point!!

Man on a Ledge

He said:  This was a so so movie.  Nothing great, I would definetly wait for Redbox.  It's just not a very memorable movie.  Grade:  C

She said:  This is my kind of movie.  I like when a movie has a smart plan of action going on in it.  This movie is about a man that apparently is going to jump off a building.  In the meantime, he is really working on clearing his name.  Some humor and slightly predictable, but entertaining nonetheless.

The Woman in Black

He said:  I don't like these kinds of movies so I didn't see it.

She said:  I love scary movies!  This one was pretty good.  Had some jumpy, palm sweating moments.  I watched this with my daughter who hates scary movies, so that made it pretty fun.  If you like scary, you'll probably like this one.

The Ides of March

He said:  I wanted to see this movie because of the stars Ryan Gosling, George Clooney and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.  This is a movie about politics and would probably not be very appealing to a lot of people.  However, I thought it was very smart, well written and very well written.  Simply said, I loved this movie.  Grade:  A.

She said:  Let me just say that I hate politics!! No, that's putting it lightly....I LOATHE politics!!  But, I loved this movie!!  Excellent cast, excellent movie.  It's about a campaign manager that believes wholeheartedly in the goodness of his Governor and in the difference he can make as President if elected.  And, he will do or say anything to get him elected.  During the course of the movie, he is exposed to incriminating information, corrupt and underhanded dealings of the opposing candidate and begins to understand how power plays into everything.  Excellent movie, some skin and lots of F-bomb.

The Descendants

He said:  I wanted to see this movie because it is nominated for several Academy Awards.  And, to be honest with you, I was a little disappointed.  I would say it's an average movie, but not great.  Language was rough.  Grade:  C

She said:  Excellent movie about love and betrayal, life and death, anger and forgiveness, growing up and letting go.  Emotions run strong in this one.  One word of caution, language is awful!  More F-bombs than I could count!!  We happened to watch this with our teenage daughter (don't recommend that), think we all cried at some point.  She did say the next day in the car on the way to school, "I hope I don't hear any F words today!"  Anyway, that being said, it was a poignant movie...well acted.  I would recommend, but not for youngsters...and if you used a TV guardian, it would be a silent film!!

Moneyball

He said:  I saw this movie a while back, so it's a little hard for me to remember.  This was a movie about the behind the scenes of baseball.  In my opinion, this was probably Brad Pitts best acting performance.  It's based on a true story which makes it very intriguing.  It's a little slow and if you don't like baseball, you'll probably be a little bored.  Good Redbox rental.  Grade:B

She said:  I liked this movie.  It was a little hard for me to follow at times when it came to trading players, but that's just because I don't follow that stuff very well.  But, I liked the overall story about how Billy Beane followed his gut and trusted his heart/math and stuck with a plan and came out on top.  He didn't let money be his guide.  Good movie, true story, rough language, but overall good choice for a rental.
