Movie: The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Jan's Rating: A
Time: 2 Hours 4 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Saw this movie today with my friend, Laura, and we both loved it. Lots of laughs and senior citizens can especially relate to the story. A bunch of retirees go to India to stay at The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, and find it is run down and full of dust and bugs. The acting is absolutely wonderful and Judi Dench and Maggie Smith are at their best! See it and enjoy it!

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING
Movie: What to Expect When You're Expecting
Jan's Rating: B
Time: 1 Hour 50 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Well, Cousin Bonnie is done with knee surgery on both knees so she is back to going to the movies with me again! Yea! We saw this movie today and enjoyed it. It is a light comedy and anyone who has had a baby can understand everything they are talking about, and those who have not had a baby will not want to have one after seeing this movie! (Just kidding, I think.) Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez both played their roles well. Dennis Quaid was also in the movie. I doubt most men would want to see this movie but it's a good chick flick.

CHIMPANZEE
Movie: Chimpanzee
Jan's Rating: B
Time: About 1-1/2 Hours
Jan's Opinion: I saw this movie today with my friend, Laura. We both enjoyed the movie and did learn from it. It is amazing how smart chimpanzees are and how resourceful. They also have groups that will fight each other. It was very interesting but had some sad parts too.

THE LUCKY ONE
Movie: The Lucky One
Jan's Rating: B
Time: 1 Hour 41 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: I went to see this movie today with my sister Judy and friend Patty and we all enjoyed it. Patty had read the book (by Nicholas Sparks) but Judy and I had not. Patty said they did leave out a few things that were in the book but they usually do that or the movie would be 4 hours long. Zac Efron stars as a Marine who has just finished 3 tours of duty (I think in Iraq). Taylor Schilling stars an owner of a Kennel who boards and trains dogs. Her Grandmother (Blythe Danner) lives with her. Taylor's brother was killed in the same war where Zac served. I don't want to tell you more and give away the good parts, but it is a beautiful love story and I think you will enjoy it too.

FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT
Title: Five-Year Engagement
Jan's Rating: B+
Time: 2 Hours 4 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Saw this movie today and really enjoyed it. Emily Blunt and Jason Segal star as a couple very much in love and want to get married but circumstances prevent that from happening. There are a lot of laughs along the way and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

JEFF WHO LIVES AT HOME
Movie: Jeff Who Lives at Home
Jan's Rating: B-
Time: 1 Hour 22 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I went to see this movie today and we both really enjoyed it. Jason Segal plays "Jeff", a 30 year old guy who still lives at home in his Mother's basement. His Mother is played by Susan Sarandon. Ed Helms plays his brother. The movie is funny, a bit sad, and has a good ending - my kind of movie.

THE HUNGER GAMES
Movie: The Hunger Games
Jan's Rating: A
Time: 2 Hours 20 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: I took my Grandson to see The Hunger Games today. To begin, I did not read the book so it took me a while to get into the movie and understand what was going on. There are 3 books out so I'm sure we can expect 2 more movies. The author of these books has an imagination unlike anything I have ever seen. I can't imagine a country having games where young people have to fight to their death. What kind of entertainment is that? There are 12 Districts in the movie's world and a girl and a boy are chosen from each of the 12 Districts, so a total of 24 young people have to fight to their death. The last one standing is the winner. Someone told me you don't see blood but that is not true; you do see quite a bit of blood. The acting was superb by Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Woody Harelson. I have to say, it is not a movie I would choose to see but I did enjoy it.
