Movie: Alex Cross
Jan's Rating: C+
Time: 1 hour 43 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: I didn't get to see Alex Cross when it was in the Theaters but we rented it last night from Time Warner Cable and it was a pretty good movie. If you are not familiar with the name Alex Cross, he is the main character in many of James Patterson's books, and we have read them all, so we were naturally interested in seeing the movie. I believe there have been two other Alex Cross movies made several years ago. In those movies, Morgan Freeman played Alex Cross. As much as I like Morgan Freeman, he was too old to play Alex Cross. In the movie we saw last night, Tyler Perry played the role of Alex Cross and did an excellent job. Nana Mama was played by Cicily Tyson who was perfect for that role. I was disappointed that the setting was Detroit, Michigan instead of Washington, DC, where all the Alex Cross stories have taken place. However, there was a lot of action and my husband and I enjoyed it very much.

LIFE OF PI
Movie: Life of Pi
Jan's Rating: B
Time: 2 Hours 7 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie today and frankly, I would have given the movie and acting an "A" rating except for the starving animals eating each other. I just couldn't watch. Not to mention the father of Pi deciding to teach him a lesson about what would happen if he got too close to the tiger.....the father tied a baby goat to the gate so he couldn't run away and the tiger ate him alive, pulling him through the bars. If I hadn't been there with Bonnie, I would have left then. As you probably know already, Pi and his family are on a large sailing vessel when they encounter a terrible storm. The only ones to survive are Pi, a sweet zebra, the tiger, and some large cat that was hungry and mean! I won't tell you anymore but it gets ugly on that raft because the animals are so hungry. I was shocked to see the rating is just PG. I can't imagine young children watching this movie! I'll leave it up to you whether you want to see it or not.
