Movie: Bad Teacher
Jan's Rating: 6
Time: 1 Hour 29 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: I love Cameron Diaz but cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie today and we were both disappointed, agreed to give it a "6". Cameron plays an English teacher who just wants to make enough money for a boob job so she can land a rich husband. She takes drugs and smokes, and is truly a "bad teacher" until she gets serious about making more money for those new boobs. There are some funny parts and I think that Lucy Punch and Phyllis Smith gave a great performance in there comedy roles. Keep in mind this is rated a strong "R" for language, nudity and drug use. If you are younger, you might enjoy it more. It wasn't bad...........it wasn't good.

CARS 2
Movie: Cars 2
Jan's Rating: 6
Time: 1 Hour 54 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Zzzzzz. I dozed off a few times. My Grandson and I saw this movie yesterday and we both agreed it should be rated a "6". Larry the Cable Guy stars as Mater, the tow truck, Owen Wilson has the hot red Corvette, and my boy Jeff Gordon has the yellow Corvette with a "24" on the side (of course). Unfortunately, Jeff's role was a small one. In Cars 2, they are competing in an international Grand Prix race, and of course they have to outwit the bad guys. Ho hum. Sorry I spent the money on this one but little ones will probably giggle through it.

SUPER 8
Movie: Super 8
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 Hour 52 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: I took my Grandson to see this movie yesterday and Cousin Bonnie joined us. Well, Cousin Bonnie did not like the movie because it scared her so she gave it a "5" rating; Danny LOVED it and gave it a "10"; I really liked it and gave it a 9. I have to admit, I would not have gone to see this movie if it hadn't been for my Grandson but I did enjoy it. The kids starring in his movie did a great job of acting, most of whom had not ever been in a film before. Elle Fanning (Dakota's sister) especially impressed me. As the movie starts off, they are shooting their own Super 8 movie when they witness a terrible train crash and mysterious happenings that they decide to investigate. You will be on the edge of your seat, most of the movie. I have bruises from Cousin Bonnie grabbing my arm.....if that tells you anything.....

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS
Movie: Midnight in Paris
Jan's Rating: 8
Time: 1 Hour 34 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I went to see this movie today and we both gave it an "8". I love Owen Wilson, Kathy Bates and Rachel McAdams so it would have had to be pretty bad for me not to like it. Owen is engaged to Rachel and they go to Paris with her parents, who do not approve of him. Owen falls in love with Paris and wants to move there but his snobby wife and her parents think it's a ridiculous idea. Owen is walking the streets of Paris one night with one too many drinks under his belt and is suddenly living in the 1920's where he meets famous writers such as Hemingway and artists such as Picasso. Then he would go back to his hotel (in the present with his fiance) and the next night he go back to the 1920's again. His life is forever changed from this experience but I don't want to tell you anymore and ruin it for you. Just go see it and enjoy it.

EVERYTHING MUST GO
Movie: Everything Must Go
Jan's Rating: 8
Time: 1 Hour 36 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: My friend Laura and I went to see this movie today, and fyi, it is only playing at the Esquire in Clifton. It is the first movie in which I have seen Will Farrell play a serious role and he did a great job. It definitely was not a comedy. He gets fired one day and comes home to find his wife has left him and put all his stuff on the front lawn and changed the lock on the house so he can't get inside. The movie takes place over the next 4 or 5 days as he lives on his front yard and finally realizes that his being an alcoholic has cost him to lose eveything. In those 4 or 5 days, he meets some interesting strangers who actually help him more than his family and friends do to turn his life around. Laura and I both enjoyed it, even though it didn't make us laugh.
