Movie: Unbroken
Jan's Rating: A
Time: 2 hours 17 minutes
Jan's Opinion: This is the third true story of a war movie that I have seen in 2 months. I did not get a chance to see Unbroken when it was in the theaters so Dave and I rented it last night and finally got to see it. First of all, I have to say that if I had known how brutal the movie was, I would not have rented it. I gave it an "A" rating because it does tell the true story of how it was during WW-II and how our soldiers suffered at the hands of the Japanese. This was the true story of Louis (Louie) Zamperini, who died last year at age 97. Jack O'Connell played the role very well of Louie in the movie. Angelina Jolie directed the movie. I couldn't help thinking of Senator McCain as I watched this movie, knowing that he suffered this same in-humane treatment at the hands of the Japanese soldiers for 5 years! And he never gave them any information that they wanted. I also couldn't help thinking that after he gave up 5 years of his life and suffered greatly for our country, that there were actually people who thought he wouldn't make a good president.

THE SECOND BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL
Movie: The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Time: 2 hours 2 minutes
Jan's Rating: B+
Jan's Opinion: Dave and I saw this movie yesterday with our neighbor and friend, Neal Jeffries. We all thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I did feel there were a few more laughs in the first movie, which is why I gave this one a B+ instead of an A, but with the characters in it, you can't help but enjoy it. Maggie Smith is hilarious with her no-nonsense humor, and Judy Dench is delightful as she tries to pretend she isn't falling in love. Sonny, played by Dev Patel, the young Indian man in the last movie, owns the hotel and he is a hoot! He plans to expand the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel while planning his wedding to beautiful Sunaina, and finds he is failing miserably at both. However, all works out in the end. Richard Gere is in this movie and has an important role, which I won't disclose as it will ruin the ending for you. My advice is, go see it, you will love it too!
