Movie: Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
Rating: 8
Time: 1 Hour 32 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Shame on the Enquirer for rating this movie as a "D"! My Grandson and I LOVED it! There were lots of laughs, and with the addition of the three "Chippettes", it was just too too cute! We highly recommend it!

OLD DOGS
Movie: Old Dogs
Jan's Rating: 6
Time: 1 hour 28 Minutes
The movie was cute but I have to admit to dozing off a few times. On the other hand, my 11-year old grandson gave the movie an 8 and laughed a lot, which tells me the movie was made for kids his age, not for adults. Okay, I laughed a few times too but not as often as he did. I think John Travolta and Robin Williams wanted to make a silly movie together and succeeded. If you want to see it, I'd just advise waiting until you can see it for free.

EVERYBODY'S FINE
Movie: Everybody's Fine
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 Hour 40 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Loved this movie but it was sadder than I expected it to be. I saw it with my friend Laura who also enjoyed it but cried a lot. Robert DeNiro (Frank) is a retired widower who is lonely and decides to surprise each of his 4 children by visiting them during Christmas. During these unexpected visits, Frank learns something about each child that he did not know, and also something about himself.....that he wasn't the perfect Father and probably expected too much from them. They all learn a lot about each other and finally become a "family" again. Drew Barrymore is darling as one of his daughters. I highly recommend the movie but take a hankie with you.

PRECIOUS
Movie: Precious
Jan's Rating: 10
Time: 1 Hour 49 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: What an intense and powerful story this was of a young black teenage girl and what she had to endure, mainly in her home. The movie is not too graphic for which I was grateful. I had to go to the bathroom and I couldn't leave my seat for fear I would miss something. I fully expect this movie to be an Oscar contender for Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. If you gals out there think you have a tough Mother, you need to see this movie and your Mother will seem like Mother Theresa.
