Movie: Jersey Boys
Rating: A-
Time: 2 hours 14 minutes
Jan's Opinion: My husband and I finally saw this movie yesterday and we both loved it. Took us back many years. Christopher Walken played the mob boss who helped Frankie Valli. All the guys who sang with Frankie were unknown to me but did a wonderful job portraying their roles in the movie. As you probably know, the movie is about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, their ups and their downs, which were many, but they sure could sing! I highly recommend this movie to the old for the memories, and to the young for the experience of hearing wonderful singing without rapping.

EARTH TO ECHO
Movie: Earth to Echo
Jan's Rating: A
Time: 1 Hour 40 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: I just saw my second movie in two days so I'm back on track! My sister's grandchildren are visiting from Perrysburg, Ohio so she and I took two of them, Bailey and Ethan, to see this movie and we all loved it! Today is Bailey's 9th birthday so we allowed her to do flips and cartwheels in the lobby. Her 6-year old brother stood by ignoring her and admiring his new ball cap. Back to the movie....... Three boys, Tuck, Munch and Alex, are a trio of long-time buddies. Their neighborhood is about to be destroyed by a construction project that is forcing their families to move away. Two days before they are to move, the boys start receiving a strange series of signals on their phones. They run away from home and follow the signals and find a little alien who is lost, and along with a female school friend, they help the alien (Echo) find his way back home. I think my score is better than some, but we really did enjoy it. It reminded me of E.T.

TAMMY
Movie: Tammy
Jan's Rating: B-
Dave's Rating: C
Time: 1 Hour 36 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: First of all, to those of you who read my blog, I'm sorry I haven't posted any movies lately but it has been months since there was a movie that I wanted to see! Isn't that sad? When I saw the previews of "Tammy", I knew I wanted to see it, so yesterday my husband and I went to see it and we both rated it. Except for Melissa's foul mouth, it was a very enjoyable movie, not Oscar worthy, but definitely made us laugh. Melissa McCarthy works in a Burger King-type place and Ben Falcone (her husband in real life) plays the role of her boss. He fires her not long after the movie starts and she goes home to find her husband is being unfaithful to her. She packs a bag and goes to her Mother's house to borrow a car so she can leave town. Her Grandma lives with her mother. Grandma, an alcoholic, is played well by Susan Sarandon. They take off in Grandma's car and there begins a comedy of bad decisions on both their parts. Also in the movie are Kathy Bates and Saundra Oh (from Grey's Anatomy). If you can stand the bad language, you will enjoy the movie.
