Movie: Magnificent Seven
Jan's Rating: C-
Time: 2 hours 13 minutes
Jan's Review: I probably shouldn't rate this movie since I am not a fan of westerns. However, my sister loves westerns, so took her to see this one yesterday. I dozed off twice. She loved it. I did not love it. Greedy Bart Bogue tries to take over Rose Creek, offering residents $20 for their land. When they would not sell, he killed a lot of them. (This is not a loving, feel-good movie.) The wife of one of the men killed, Emma Cullen, turned to Sam Chisolm (played by Denzel Washington) to help the town, and he recruits an eclectic group of gunslingers to help the people save their town from greedy Bart. There is a lot of blood shed, so if you like that sort of thing, by all means go see it. The best part was when Emma shot Bart in the end (literally).

HELL OR HIGH WATER
Movie: Hell or High Water
Jan's Rating: B+ (and her husband agrees)
Time: 102 Minutes
Jan's Review: My husband and I both really enjoyed this movie, lots of action with a sentimental side also. Chris Pine and Ben Foster play two brothers who are desperate to save the family farm. Ben's character was away at prison for several years while Chris's character stayed home and took care of their dying mother, during which time Chris is divorced from his wife and 2 sons. Chris wants to save the farm for his ex-wife and sons so that they can live there and his sons won't turn out as bad as he is. Jeff Bridges plays a Texas Ranger who is supposed to have just retired but can't go fishing until he catches the brothers and stops the bank robberies.

CRIMINAL
Movie: Criminal
Jan's Rating: D
Time: Approx. 2 hours
Jan's Review: This review will be short and to the point: This movie is about an international conspiracy starring Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones, and Ryan Reynolds. How can a movie with these excellent actors be bad you ask? I asked myself the same thing. It was full of extreme violence and blood, and that is not entertainment to me. If that's the type movie you like, then you would like it. Surprisingly, my husband agrees with me on this movie. Neither one of us liked it.
