Movie: I Am Legend
Jan's Rating: 2
Time: 100 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: This movie definitely will not be a legend! Set in current time, Will Smith is a Scientist who stays behind in Manhatten after everyone else has evacuated because of a deadly virus, which Will is immune to. Determined to discover a cure for the virus from his own immune system, he tests virus-infected mutants. Meanwhile, Will and his virus-free dog, Sam, hunt for deer in an otherwise deserted Manhatten. Don't concern yourself with not being able to follow the story line - there isn't one. The best part of the movie is Will Smith's acting, which deserves a 9.

THE LOCH NESS MONSTER LIVES!
Movie: The Water Horse (Legend of the Deep)
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 105 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: My grandson and I LOVED this movie! It was a sweet and interesting story, funny, and exciting. What more could you ask for? A little boy finds a large egg, breaks it open and a baby Water Horse (Loch Ness Monster) is inside. He's so ugly he's cute as a baby, then he grows up but still loves the boy and protects him from harm. I honestly didn't think I would like this movie and it turned out to be one of my favorites. My advice is....don't miss it!

CHIPMONKS ARE ADORABLE!
Movie: Alvin and the Chipmunks
Jan's Rating: 7
Time: 92 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: I took my 9-year old grandson to see this one and we both enjoyed it. The chipmunks are so cute you want to take them home. Jason Lee plays "Dave" who discovers the chipmunks and learns that they can sing. He gives them a home and they practice a song he can take to his long-time friend David Cross (Ian) to have recorded. Dave loves the chipmunks but though Ian is nice to them at first, he only sees them as a way to make money for himself. There of course is a happy ending and the chipmunks even help Dave get back his lost love.

BE THANKFUL FOR THE HUSBAND YOU HAVE!
Movie: Mr. Brooks
Jan's Rating: 8
Time: ~2 hrs.
Jan's Opinion: Since I didn't get a chance to see this movie when it was playing at the theaters, I rented it last night. Kevin Costner plays a successful husband and father who is addicted to murdering people on the side. It is scary to think that a loving successful person can have such a dark side. His evil conscience is played by William Hurt who won't let him stop killing people. Still not sure if I liked the ending???

A FAIRY TALE FOR ADULTS
Movie: August Rush
Jan's Rating: 5
Time: 113 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: OK, where do I start? I liked the story line of this movie but not the way it was told. I don't know about you, but I don't like movies that switch back and forth from the present to the past, over and over again, too confusing. I also like happy endings but this wasn't realistic, too much like a fairy tale. The story starts out with Keri Russell who is an accomplished musician having a one-night affair with Jonathan Ries Meyers, falls in love, wants to be with him but her father won't allow it. She ends up pregnant, has the baby, her father tells her the baby died so for the next 12 years her heart aches for her baby boy. On her father's death bed, he tells her the boy did not die, thus starts her search for her son. As I said earlier, I liked the story line but I would have told it differently.

DON'T GET STUNG BY THIS BEE
Movie: Bee Movie
Jan's Rating: 5
Time: 90 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: It was a cute movie for little kids. My 9 year-old grandson liked it but said it wasn't the best movie he's ever seen. Personally, I had trouble staying awake, a little too boring for me.

You Choose the Ending
Movie: Michael Clayton
Jan's Rating: 7
Time: 119 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: This movie is about killers who stalk a burned out corporate lawyer (George Clooney) who is in the middle of a billion-dollar lawsuit including a high-powered New York law firm. I like movies that have an ending and this one left you with questions in your mind. I thought it was a good movie and the acting was very good, but found it hard to follow. On the other hand, my husband's take on the movie is that the storyline has power but it has been done before in other movies. He said it kept his attention for the full two hours. The only thing that kept my attention for the two hours was watching George Clooney! He's hot! We both think George Clooney will minimally be up for an Oscar as best actor - not sure about the movie.
