Movie: The King's Speech
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 Hour 58 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Yes, I went to the movie again today with my friend Laura. We had heard that The King's Speech was excellent so decided to go see it. It really was very good, especially the acting by Colin Firth. When King George died, his oldest son took over the throne, but then he wanted to marry a woman who had been twice divorced and of course that wouldn't do in proper England. So, his younger brother then took over the throne, another King George. Unfortunately, he had a very bad stammer in his speech so most of the movie was about his learning to speak without stuttering with the help of an offbeat speech therapist played by Geoffrey Rush, who had a dry but witty sense of humor in his role. Although I don't normally like period pieces, I did enjoy this movie.

LITTLE FOCKERS
Movie: Little Fockers
Jan's Rating: 7
Time: 1 Hour 38 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Well, Cousin Bonnie and I saw two movies yesterday, trying to catch up from the holidays. After we saw The Fighter, we then saw Little Fockers. It was cute and light but I would not recommend it for children. It wasn't as good as the previous two Focker movies but I like all the actors in it and enjoyed a few laughs after a serious movie like The Fighter.

THE FIGHTER
Movie: The Fighter
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 Hour 56 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I went to see this movie yesterday and we enjoyed it very much. Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale play brothers in this movie and Christian (a druggie) is trying to train Mark to be a fighter. Their Mother definitely controls the whole family, including 6 (I think) grown daughters who still live at home and most look older than their Mother. They are a strange, dysfunctional, vulgar family. The real star in this movie is Christian Bale, who is up for Best Supporting Actor and has a good possibility of winning. I have never understood why men want to box each other and get hurt. My mind hasn't changed about that, but I do recommend the movie. A few less F-words and I would have given it a "10".

BLACK SWAN
Movie: Black Swan
Rating: 6
Time: 1 Hour 50 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: I took my friend Irene to see this movie today and can't say that I particularly liked it. I will have to say that Natalie Portman will probably win an Oscar for her performance in this movie, but I do hope the movie doesn't get an award. It was just too dark and depressing for me, and Irene felt the same way. There are sex scenes in the movie so don't take young children, or even teenagers with you to see this one because it could be embarrassing.

GULLIVER'S TRAVELS
Movie: Gulliver's Travels
Jan's Rating: 7
Time: 1 hour 25 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Took my Grandson to see this movie yesterday and we both enjoyed it but liked Yogi Bear better, as you can see from my rating. Gulliver is given an assignment in Bermuda but ends up on some island where all the people are very tiny and he is gigantic. He helps these people and they want him to stay but he wants to go back to NY where he left a girl he had a big crush on, then she ends up on the island with him. Don't want to tell you any more so I don't ruin it for you. I am not a fan of Jack Black but have to admit he does have talent.

YOGI BEAR
Movie: Yogi Bear
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 Hour 19 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Took my Grandson to see this one last week and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. There are all regular people in the movie except for Yogi Bear and Boo Boo. Some evil man wants to take over the park where Yogi and Boo Boo live and cut down the trees so Yogi and Boo Boo decide to stop him. We both found it entertaining and you will too.

UNSTOPPABLE
Movie: Unstoppable
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 Hour 38 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I went to see this movie yesterday and enjoyed it very much. It was very exciting, had me sitting on the edge of my seat a few times. The movie stars Denzel Washington, an Engineer ready to retire, and Chris Pine, a young and newly hired Conductor. The plot is about a runaway train with no one on board, running at full speed and needs to be stopped before a lot of people are killed. The story is taken from true events that happened in 2001. A real nail biter!
