BLACK SWAN

Movie: Black Swan
Rating: 6
Time: 1 Hour 50 Minutes

Jan's Opinion: I took my friend Irene to see this movie today and can't say that I particularly liked it. I will have to say that Natalie Portman will probably win an Oscar for her performance in this movie, but I do hope the movie doesn't get an award. It was just too dark and depressing for me, and Irene felt the same way. There are sex scenes in the movie so don't take young children, or even teenagers with you to see this one because it could be embarrassing.

GULLIVER'S TRAVELS

Movie: Gulliver's Travels
Jan's Rating: 7
Time: 1 hour 25 Minutes

Jan's Opinion: Took my Grandson to see this movie yesterday and we both enjoyed it but liked Yogi Bear better, as you can see from my rating. Gulliver is given an assignment in Bermuda but ends up on some island where all the people are very tiny and he is gigantic. He helps these people and they want him to stay but he wants to go back to NY where he left a girl he had a big crush on, then she ends up on the island with him. Don't want to tell you any more so I don't ruin it for you. I am not a fan of Jack Black but have to admit he does have talent.

YOGI BEAR

Movie: Yogi Bear
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 Hour 19 Minutes

Jan's Opinion: Took my Grandson to see this one last week and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. There are all regular people in the movie except for Yogi Bear and Boo Boo. Some evil man wants to take over the park where Yogi and Boo Boo live and cut down the trees so Yogi and Boo Boo decide to stop him. We both found it entertaining and you will too.

UNSTOPPABLE

Movie: Unstoppable
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 Hour 38 Minutes

Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I went to see this movie yesterday and enjoyed it very much. It was very exciting, had me sitting on the edge of my seat a few times. The movie stars Denzel Washington, an Engineer ready to retire, and Chris Pine, a young and newly hired Conductor. The plot is about a runaway train with no one on board, running at full speed and needs to be stopped before a lot of people are killed. The story is taken from true events that happened in 2001. A real nail biter!
