Movie: Letters to Juliet
Jan's Rating: 8-1/2
Time: 1 hour 45 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: I saw this movie today with my friend Patty and we both enjoyed it. If you like a good romantic story with a predictable ending, be sure to see this one. Do not pay any attention to the Enquirer, USA Today, or other newspapers, or you will miss a sweet and romantic movie. You have probably seen the previews where Vanessa Redgrave plays an older woman who regrets walking away from a romance she had in her teens. Enter Amanda Seyfried who travels through Italy with Vanessa and her grandson searching for her lost love. Of course it's predictable, but it's the fun they have along the way that leaves a warm feeling in your heart.

CITY ISLAND
Movie: City Island
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 hour 40 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie yesterday and we both LOVED it! I have never seen a more dysfunctional but loveable family. Andy Garcia (sexy guy that he is) plays the Father and Julianna Margulies plays the Mother. Andy is a Corrections Officer (Prison Guard) and discovers the son he never knew he had. Andy is taking acting lessons but doesn't tell his wife so she thinks he's having an affair. I don't want to say too much more and give away the plot, so please go see it, you won't be disappointed. If you live in Cincinnati, it is playing at Mariemont and the Rave in West Chester. Even the Enquirer gave this one a B+!

THE JONESES
Movie: The Joneses
Jan's Rating: 6-1/2
Time: 1 Hour 38 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: This movie is about 4 people who pretend they are a family.....Mother, Father, teenage Daughter and Son. Demi Moore plays the Mother and David Duchovny plays the Father. A marketing firm has hired these four people to pretend they are a family and they move the family into a very wealthy neighborhood and supply them with products from makeup to cars that they want this family to brag about to their friends so their friends will go out and buy the products also. I really thought I would enjoy this movie but it wasn't one of my favorites. There really weren't any laugh-out-loud scenes for me. However, Cousin Bonnie enjoyed it more than I did, which is why I'm giving the movie a 6-1/2 instead of a 6.

THE BACK-UP PLAN
Movie: The Back-up Plan
Jan's Rating: 8-1/2
Time: 1 Hour 46 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie today and we both LOVED it! Just ignore the Enquirer's rating of C-. This movie had us laughing out loud several times, and was a good romantic story also. Jennifer Lopez stars as a woman whose clock is ticking, she has no special man in her life, and she wants children, so she gets artificially inseminated. And wouldn't you know, the day she finds out she's pregnant, she meets Mr. Right, played by Alex O'Loughlin. Had not seen or heard of Alex before but hoping to see more of him in the future!! This is just a delightfully funny movie that all women, young and old, should see.

THE LAST SONG
Movie: The Last Song
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 Hour 47 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Saw this movie with my friend Patty and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. However, if you read the book, you know it's a tear jerker. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth (her beau in real life) did an excellent job of portraying two young people dealing with the feelings of love, and of hurt. I would definitely recomment this movie but take several tissues with you!

DIARY OF A WIMPY KID
Movie: Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Jan's Rating: 10
Time: 1 Hour 35 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: I took my grandson to see this movie today and we both enjoyed it very much. He is the one who rated it a "10", and I decided to go along with that rating because, not only was it a good movie, it teaches a lesson about bullying. You just have to hope that when kids watch this movie, they see how hurtful it is to bully someone else, and that they aren't entertained by it and think it's funny. Danny made the comment "that doesn't really happen" and I had to tell him that it really does happen in a lot of schools. Fortunately, he said it doesn't happen in his school. It is definitely worth taking your children to see it.

THAT EVENING SUN
Movie: That Evening Sun
Jan's Rating: 8
Time: 1 Hour 49 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: This is definitely a movie that people my age can identify with, whether it be good or bad. Cousin Bonnie and I went to see this movie today and we both really enjoyed it, thanks to a great performance by Hal Holbrook. Hal plays the role of an 80-year old man whose son has put him in a nursing home and he is bored and doesn't want to stay there anymore so he packs his suitcase and leaves. He goes back to his farm in Tennessee but he finds another family living there because his son has rented it. Hal is not happy and is as determined to stay there as the renters are; thus begins a feud which is worth watching....funny and sad.
