THE FAMILY

Movie:  The Family
Jan's Rating:  B
Time:  1 Hour 51 Minutes

Jan's Opinion:  Cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie today and we both enjoyed it.  The movie is a dark comedy, serious but still funny in places.  Mob boss Robert DiNiro, his wife, Michelle Pfeiffer, and their son and daughter have been put in the witness protection program, and are now located in France.  Tommy Lee Jones is with the FBI and it is his job to keep this family safe from those who want to kill them, but it is not an easy assignment since Robert and Michelle both have bad tempers and tend to "take care of business" when someone makes them angry.  Naturally the children have learned from their parents how to protect their selves, and the kids in their new school soon find out not to mess with them.  This movie is definitely worth seeing.  These three wonderful actors are worth seeing no matter what the movie is about.

RED 2

Movie:  RED 2
Jan's Rating:  B
Time:  1 Hour 56 Minutes

Jan's Opinion:  My husband and I went to see this movie today and we both enjoyed it.  In fact, I think I liked it a little better than the first one entitled "RED".  RED stands for Retired Extremely Dangerous.  They are a group of retired CIA agents who get called back to work to track down a nuclear device.  Starring in the movie were Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Anthony Hopkins, Helen Mirran, Catherine Zeta Jones, and Mary Louise Parker.  It was very enjoyable, especially for us senior citizens.
