Movie: Race to Witch Mountain
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 Hr. 40 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: This movie is much better than I thought it would be. My Grandson gives it a "10", I was thinking "8", so compromised on "9". A Las Vegas cab driver (Dwayne Johnson) and a UFO expert (Carla Gugino) team up with 2 teenagers who say they can save the world if they can get to Witch Mountain before government agents, mobsters and aliens beat them to it. Yes, this is the second day with aliens in the movie. This one was very exciting and one you won't want to miss, regardless of your age.

MONSTERS VS. ALIENS
Title: Monsters Vs. Aliens in 3D
Jan's Rating: 8
Time: 1 Hr. 34 Mins.
I took my grandson to see this and we both loved it. Can't imagine not seeing it in 3D. Reese Witherspoon is the voice of the main character, Susan Murphy, a California girl who is clobbered by a meteor full of space gunk on her wedding day, and at the altar, she mysteriously turns green and grows to 49 feet 11 inches tall. The military captures Susan and whisks her away to a secret Government compound with other "monsters". Meanwhile aliens attack the earth and the President enlists the motley crew of the monsters to save the world from destruction.

SUNSHINE CLEANING
Title: Sunshine Cleaning
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 hr. 42 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: The commercial on TV for this movie doesn't do it justice. I thought it was VERY good! Remember Amy Adams from Doubt? She plays Rose, a 30-something single Mom who is still sleeping with her high school sweetheart who is now married to someone else. She knows her life is going downhill and needs to do something to make some money. Her cop-boyfriend turns her on to an idea of cleaning up after crime scenes, which pays a lot more than just house cleaning. Her sister Nora lives with their Dad (Alan Arkin) and is not doing anything with her life either so Rose asks Nora to go into this new cleaning business with her. There are funny parts but there are also heart-rendering parts as the sisters open the door for challenges that bring them closer together.

YOUR VOTE REALLY DOES COUNT!
Movie: Swing Vote
Jan's Rating: 7
Time: 2 Hours
Jan's Opinion: I haven't been to a movie lately because there isn't anything playing that I particularly want to see, so last night my husband and I rented Swing Vote with Kevin Costner, which we had not seen on the big screen and heard it was good. Well, Dave got a little bored halfway through and went to the bedroom and turned on another TV. I enjoyed the movie more than he did but he is into spy thrillers. Swing Vote shows you how important your vote can be, but more importantly, I was impressed with Kevin Costner's "daughter" in the movie because he was a drunk, and rather than let that be her excuse to become a bad person, she did the opposite and turned his life around. I found the movie very heart warming.
