Movie: The Time Traveler's Wife
Jan's Rating: 4
Time: 1 Hour 47 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: BORING! STUPID! DID NOT MAKE SENSE! Can you tell I didn't like it? Cousin Bonnie didn't like it either. I knew I wouldn't like it before I went but decided to give it a try anyway. I didn't think I would like Benjamin Button either but ended up loving that movie so you never know. I guess I like movies that are more realistic. Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana did a good job acting and had a beautiful love affair but that was it. I'm sure you have heard the story of how he travels back and forth in time between knowing her as a child and as an adult when he marries her. It was just too strange for me. However, since the book came out first and is #1 on the Best Selling List, and this movie was made from the book, there are obviously people who enjoy this type of story. My daughter, Dyan, read the book and saw the movie and enjoyed both, so don't take my word for it - you go see it and decide for yourself.

SHORTS
Movie: Shorts
Jan's Rating: 7
Time: 1 Hour 29 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: My Grandson and I saw this movie yesterday and we both enjoyed it and we both gave it a "7" rating. "Shorts" is set in the suburb of Black Falls and everyone works for Black Box Unlimited, owned by Mr. Black (of course) played by James Spader. His son and daughter are as obnoxious as he is and they pick on this 11 year old boy named Toe Thompson, who just wants to have a few friends. Toe climbs up a tree to escape the bullying kids and a rainbow-colored rock hits him in the head and he falls out of the tree. He learns that when he is holding the rock, anything he wishes for comes true. He has a good time with the rock and then the grownups get hold of the rock and they are more dangerous than the kids! William H. Macy plays a Scientist who stays indoors with his son and they never go outside for fear of catching germs. It's a cute movie.

JULIE & JULIA
Movie: Julie & Julia
Jan's Rating: 10
Time: 2 Hours 3 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I went to see this movie today and we absolutely loved it! As you may already know, it is the two true stories of Julia Child (played by Meryl Streep) and Julie Powell (played by Amy Adams). Meryl Streep was magnificent as Julia, her mannerisms, the way she talked, walked, were so much like Julia Child that it was amazing. I understand they hired a lot of short people for the film to make Meryl Streep look taller, and she did. Amy Adams also was fantastic playing Julie Powell. Julie Powell LOVED Julia Child and tried so hard to be like her, and cook like her, but they never got a chance to meet. There wasn't anything about the movie we didn't like. Go see it, you will enjoy it too.

ALIENS IN THE ATTIC
Movie: Aliens in the Attic
Jan's Rating: 8
Time: 1 Hour 26 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: My Grandson and I saw this movie today and we both enjoyed it. He gave it a "10" but being an adult and more realistic, I gave it an "8". It's nice to see a movie that is light and funny once in a while. A family rents a house in Maine for summer vacation and the kids discover "aliens in the attic". From that point on, the kids try to get rid of the aliens without the parents knowing they are there (since they wouldn't believe them anyway). It gave us a few laughs; hope it does the same for you.
