JEFF WHO LIVES AT HOME

Movie:  Jeff Who Lives at Home
Jan's Rating:  B-
Time:  1 Hour 22 Minutes

Jan's Opinion:  Cousin Bonnie and I went to see this movie today and we both really enjoyed it.  Jason Segal plays "Jeff", a 30 year old guy who still lives at home in his Mother's basement.  His Mother is played by Susan Sarandon.  Ed Helms plays his brother.  The movie is funny, a bit sad, and has a good ending - my kind of movie.

THE HUNGER GAMES

Movie:  The Hunger Games
Jan's Rating:  A
Time:  2 Hours 20 Minutes

Jan's Opinion:  I took my Grandson to see The Hunger Games today.  To begin, I did not read the book so it took me a while to get into the movie and understand what was going on.  There are 3 books out so I'm sure we can expect 2 more movies.  The author of these books has an imagination unlike anything I have ever seen.  I can't imagine a country having games where young people have to fight to their death.  What kind of entertainment is that?  There are 12 Districts in the movie's world and a girl and a boy are chosen from each of the 12 Districts, so a total of 24 young people have to fight to their death. The last one standing is the winner.   Someone told me you don't see blood but that is not true; you do see quite a bit of blood.  The acting was superb by Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Woody Harelson.  I have to say, it is not a movie I would choose to see but I did enjoy it.
