Movie: Girl Most Likely
Jan's Rating: C+
Time: 1 hour 42 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: I saw this movie today with Cousin Bonnie. The only place it is playing is Mariemont but we like that little theater. Kristen Wiig stars as a young woman living in New York as a playwright. In the opening, her boyfriend breaks up with her and she is devastated. She pretends to commit suicide and ends up in the psych ward of the hospital. The doctor calls her mother, played by Annette Bening, whom she hasn't seen in years, and asks her to come get her daughter out of the hospital and keep her for 72 hours because the hospital doesn't have room for her. Annette Bening plays the ding-bat mother who has a live-in boyfriend (Matt Dillon) who is as dingy as she is. Kristen eventually realizes that the people she thought were her friends, only loved them selves and did not care about her. Her brother, who is mentally slow, does still live with their mother, but he ends up having more common sense than his mother or sister. We enjoyed the movie but it wasn't one of our favorites.

LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED
Movie: Love is all you Need
Jan's Rating: A
Time: 1 Hour 50 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: I saw this movie today with cousin Bonnie and we both loved it! Most of the movie is in sub-titles with mostly Danish actors, except for Pierce Brosnan, who plays the lead male role. A Danish gal, Trine Dyrholm, plays the lead female role. Trine's daughter is getting married in Italy so she is at the airport to catch a flight to attend the wedding. As she is parking her car, she collides with another car driven by Pierce Brosnan, who just happens to be the father of the groom, and he is also planning to take the same flight to the wedding. Pierce is very angry at her for hitting his car and yells at her until she cries. He is under a lot of stress with the company he owns and is just an unhappy guy because his wife is dead. I will let you see the movie yourself to find out what happens between these two, and between the bride and the groom. It is a wonderful, romantic movie. Unfortunately, it is only playing here at the Esquire in Clifton.

WORLD WAR Z
Movie: World War Z
Jan's Rating: B+
Time: 1 Hour 56 Mins.
Jan's Opinion: I took my grandson, Danny, and his friend, A.J., to see this movie yesterday and we all enjoyed it. My rating is an average of Danny and A.J.'s rating. Danny gave the movie an "A" and A.J. gave it a "B". Brad Pitt has the role of Gerry Lane. Gerry used to be a special agent for the United Nations but retired to spend time with his family. That decision was short lived. Gerry and his family (wife and 2 daughters) are in their automobile one day in downtown Philadelphia, all traffic is stopped, and they are suddenly attacked by people who have turned into zombies. Gerry is able to get his family free, steal a camper, and get out of the city. He called his old boss for help and his boss told him that he needed Gerry to come back to work for them to find out why these zombies were attacking armies and governments all over the world, not just Philadelphia. He promised Gerry that he would keep his family safe on their ship while Gerry helped them stop this attack. Gerry accepts. The movie just gets more exciting from there.
