Title: The Ugly Truth
Jan's Rating: 8
Time: 1 Hr. 35 Mins.
Jan's Opinion: This movie was rated "R" and was definitely raunchy in places but cousin Bonnie and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, it is predictable but most chic flicks are predictable. Katherine Heigl plays a Producer of a TV news show and Gerard Butler joins the show. She objects to hiring him because he is fowl-mouthed and she thinks he will hurt the ratings but HER boss decides to hire him anyway and their ratings go sky high (as predicted). While he tries to coach her how to act so that her dream guy will fall for her, he falls for her instead and I'm sure you can guess the rest. Predictable but funny.

"G-FORCE" in 3-D
Movie: "G-Force" in 3-D
Jan's Rating: 7
Time: 90 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: I took my grandson to see "G-Force" and we both gave it a "7" rating. The imagination and computer technique that goes into making these 3-D Disney movies is just mind-boggling. In this particular movie, a nerdy scientist has trained guinea pigs to work for the Federal Government. The "Mole" is the one to watch out for! These cute little critters will steal your heart as they try to stop the "bad guys" from dominating the world. The theater we went to was full of young children and you could have heard a pin drop, so that alone should be testimony that the movie held their attention. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

MY SISTER'S KEEPER
Title: My Sister's Keeper
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 hour 43 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: I saw this movie by myself today while I had a chance to go, and glad I did. It was a very good movie, but very sad. I don't cry easily and I used 2 tissues. I was mostly moved by how close the family was. The movie is taken from a book and a true story about a child (played by Abigail Breslin) who was conceived so they could use her blood, spinal fluid, etc. to keep her sister, who had cancer, alive. When it was time that her sister needed a kidney, Abigail said that's enough and sued her parents for the right to make medical decisions about her own body. Cameron Diaz does a great job of portraying the Mother. Jeez, it seems like last year that I saw her portraying a teenager. Anyway, it's a very good movie so go see it, but make sure you take along some tissues!

THE HANGOVER
Movie: The Hangover
Jan's Rating: 7
Time: 1 Hr. 40 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: The Enquirer gave this movie a B+. It's not that good but I'll give it a "7". Cousin Bonnie and I went to see this movie today and we did have a few laughs, but we think the younger crowd will appreciate it more. It's about 3 guys who decide to take a buddy to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. I don't even have the imagination to think of doing some of the things they did. It was funny but not Oscar-worthy.

ICE AGE: DAWN OF THE DYNOSAURS
Title: Ice Age: Dawn of the Dynosaurs
Jan's Rating: 7
Time: Approx. 90 minutes
Jan's Opinion: I took my grandson Danny and his friend Amanda to see this movie today. Amanda gave it a 9-1/2, Danny gave it an 8, and I gave it a 7. The animation was wonderful and I can see why children like it but it just isn't my kind of movie. I'm not a big animated movie person except for "Shrek", and I loved that one! However, the kids loved it and that is the audience it is intended for, so don't hesitate to take your little ones to see this movie.
