Title: The Book Thief
Jan's Rating: A
Time: 2 Hours 10 Mins.
Jan's Opinion: This is another movie that I didn't see when it was at the theater so I bought it and Dave and I watched it today. We both loved it and gave it an "A". The leading role is played by a young girl named Sophie Ne'lisse., who did an outstanding job portraying "Liesel", who is adopted by a German couple when her mother can no longer care for her. The movie chronicles the years that Hitler was in command, 1938-1945. The couple who adopt Liesel also takes in a young Jewish man and hides him in their basement. You will alternately laugh and cry during this movie. We loved it!

SPY
Movie: Spy
Jan's Rating: B+
Time: 2 Hours
Jan's Opinion: My friend, Laura, and I saw this movie yesterday and we thoroughly enjoyed it. As I have said before, the movie would have been better with less "F" words, which is why I gave it a B+ instead of an A. The movie stars Melissa McCarthy and Jude Law who work for the CIA. Melissa McCarthy plays the role of Susan Cooper, who was hired as a CIA agent but has been stuck on a desk job in the basement of their headquarters for years. Now the CIA has learned that Jude Law's character has been killed and they need someone to take his place who isn't known by the enemy. Of course, "Susan Cooper" volunteers to go undercover and take down a deadly arms dealer. And, so the action begins! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

5 FLIGHTS UP
Title: 5 Flights Up
Jan's Rating: B-
Time: 1 hour 30 Mins.
Jan's Opinion: I read about this movie recently and knew I wanted to see it. I couldn't find it playing at any of the theaters but I did find it on Time Warner Cable's movie guide so Dave and I watched it last night. Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton play a couple who has been married 40 years, live in an apartment in NY on the 5th floor and there's no elevator. They decided they are too old to climb all those steps anymore so decide to put their apartment up for sale and look for another one in a building that has an elevator. If you like these actors, you will like the movie. It's a cute movie to see one time.

BLACK OR WHITE
Movie: Black or White
Jan's Rating: B
Time: 2 Hours 1 minute
Jan's Opinion: This is another movie that we didn't get to see when it was in the theaters so I purchased it and Dave and I watched it last night and enjoyed it very much - not our favorite movie of all times, but definitely enjoyable. Kevin Costner plays the part of Elliott, a man who has just lost his wife due to a tragic car accident, and leaves him to raise his granddaughter (about 8 years old) alone. Elliott's daughter died during childbirth and the father of the baby (who is African American) never contacted him and his wife so a lot of hard feelings prevail. When Elliott's wife dies, the other grandmother, Rowena (played by Octavia Spencer), decided to sue for custody, and so the battle begins as to who is the most fit parent for this beautiful smart little girl.
