Movie: Inglourious Basterds
Jan's Rating: 3
Time: 2 Hrs. 30 Mins.
Jan's Opinion: Since I did not get a chance to see this movie when it was in the theaters, my husband and I rented it last night and now we know why it didn't stay at the theaters any longer than it did. We watched 3/4 of it thinking it HAS to get better but it didn't. And may I add that Brad Pitt's Southern accent was very fake. Don't waste your money on this one.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE MORGANS?
Movie: Did you Hear About the Morgans?
Jan's Rating: 8
Time: 1 Hour 43 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: My friend Patty and I went to see this movie and we loved it! The Enquirer really needs to hire someone else (like me) to critique the movies for them as they gave this movie a "C-" rating when it deserved at least a "B". They don't seem to like chick flicks for some reason. I will agree that this movie does not deserve an Academy Award but it sure gave us a lot of laughs. Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant play a couple who have separated because he had an affair. He talks her into going out on a date and they witness a murder. Of course the murderer sees them and is out to kill them so the Police put them in the Witness Protection Program out in the middle of nowhere. It is exciting in parts, sweet in parts, and funny too. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

IT'S COMPLICATED
Movie: It's Complicated
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 Hour 58 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: It definitely does turn out to be complicated when a man has an affair on his young wife with his ex-wife! However, Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin do a good job of pulling it off. Meryl is such a good actress and gets so "into" her role that she magically makes you feel that the story is real. I just don't think they come any better. People were laughing out loud in the theater. My friend Laura and I saw this movie and we both loved it. Steve Martin was also good and funny in his role.

UP IN THE AIR
Movie: Up in the Air
Jan's Rating: 7
Time: 1 Hour 49 Minute
My hubby Dave and I saw this movie New Year's Eve and we really enjoyed it except for the ending. I hate movies that don't have a happy ending. The movie actually started out kind of slow and I thought it was going to be boring but we soon got into it. George Clooney is so handsome that if he did anything wrong you wouldn't see it! George flies so much for his job that he doesn't have a home. He finally makes the Ten Million Mile Club but by then, he isn't as happy with his accomplishment as he thought he would be. We really liked the gals who played his girlfriend and work associate, though we had never heard of them before. We recommend this movie and hope you won't be as put off by the ending as we were. I would have given it a "9" if it had ended differently.
