Movie: Blind Side
Jan's Rating: 10
Time: 2 hours 8 minutes
Jan's Opinion: Hollywood should make more movies like this! Of course this being a true story makes you love it even more. My daughter, Michele, and grandson, Danny, went with me to see this movie and we all gave it a "10"! It is so heartwarming, and it is funny too. It is about a black homeless teenage boy who is offered a home by a southern white family (Sandra Bullock plays the Mother and Tim McGraw plays the Father) and how they help him to become a football star. You probably already know that this is the first year this same black teenage boy will be playing football for the Baltimore Ravens. Watch for him. His name is Michael Ohr. Not sure if I spelled Ohr correctly. Anyway, it is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time so if you haven't seen it, please put it on your list. I would think that women and men alike would enjoy it. Sandra Bullock did an excellent job of portraying a sophisticated, stern, spunky and caring woman all at the same time.

A SERIOUS MAN
Movie: A Serious Man
Jan's Rating: 6
Time: 1 hour 45 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I went to see this movie today and it is a dark comedy so we had a few laughs but we both agreed that you have to be either Jewish or have lived around Jewish people to understand a lot of the movie. For starters, it is directed by the Cohen Brothers so that tells you right there it's going to be a little different. It is set in 1967 but as the movie starts, it looks more like 1900 and this woman stabs this man in the chest with an ice pick in a log cabin. We thought we were in the wrong movie at first so I went outside to check to make sure we didn't go in the wrong movie. Then it switched to 1967 and the movie we were expecting and I have to tell you, we never did figure out what the first part of the movie had to do with the rest of the movie. Very strange. It stars Michael Stuhlbarg as a Jewish man married to a bitchy wife and they have 2 teenage children. His brother (Richard Kind) lives with them and has a lot of problems of his own. Adam Arkin plays Michael's attorney, and believe me, poor Michael needs a good attorney. The ending leaves you hanging, which I don't like. The Enquirer gave it an A- rating and I understand why, but it just isn't my type of movie. You will have to see it and judge for yourself.........or not.
