Movie: Silver Linings Playbook
Jan's Rating: B+
Time: 2 hours 2 minutes
Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie today and we both really enjoyed it. It is not a comedy, as some people think, but rather a very serious movie about a serious subject....mental illness, but it does have some funny parts. It stars Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, both who suffer with mental illness but are trying to get their act together so they can live a normal life. Robert DiNero plays Bradley's Dad. The acting is especially good by all three actors. I would definitely recommend it!

PLAYING FOR KEEPS
Movie: Playing for Keeps
Jan's Rating: B-
Time: 1 Hour 35 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie today and it was a cute love story. Great stars in this movie include Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Uma Thurman and Dennis Quaid. It is not an Oscar winner but worth going to see.

THE SESSIONS
Movie: The Sessions
Jan's Rating: B
Time: 1 hour 35 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie today - very sexy movie - if nudity embarrasses you, don't see it. It is the story of a 38-year old man who lives in an iron lung and wants to lose his virginity. The Priest, played by William H. Macy, suggests he see a sex therapist, which he does, played by Helen Hunt. Helen is obviously very comfortable in her nude role, but then she does have a perfect body! The movie is sad but also a beautiful story of those who wanted so much to help this man.

FLIGHT
Movie: Flight
Jan's Rating: A-
Time: 2 Hours 18 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I went to see this movie today and we really enjoyed it, though it was quite scary a few times. Those who know me know I do not like to fly, and after seeing this movie, I will probably never fly again. However, the story was good. Denzel Washington is an Ace Pilot, and landed this plane brilliantly in spite of the fact that he was drunk. In fact he was an alcoholic and did cocaine. So, I will leave you with that picture in your mind and leave the rest of the story for you to see yourself at the theater.

HERE COMES THE BOOM
Movie: Here Comes the Boom
Jan's Rating: A-
Time: 1 hour 45 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie today and we both really enjoyed it. I am hoping to take my grandson to see it too because it does teach a message of "giving" and "helping" others, and I think all young people can benefit by seeing a film like this one. It is also funny! Kevin James and Henry Winkler both have great roles in the movie and will make you laugh. Kevin teaches biology and Henry teaches music. When the principal announces that they are going to have to make cuts, including the music department, Kevin decides to find a way to make extra money so the school doesn't have to do away with the music department. It really is a good movie and worth seeing.

THE MATCHMAKER
Movie: The Matchmaker
Jan's Rating: C
Time: 1 Hour 49 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie today in Mariemont. The movie was made in Israel with Israeli actors who do not speak English so you do have sub-titles.....which is fine if you can read them.....but most of it was white writing with at least half the background white so it was hard to read, and just when you almost have it figured out, the words disappeared from the screen. It was a nice story but not one I would want to see again. I think Cousin Bonnie liked it better than I did.

THE MASTER
Movie: The Master
Jan's Rating: B
Time: 2 Hours 16 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: My husband, Dave, went with me to see this movie today and we were both surprised because it was not what we expected. However, the acting of Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix was brilliant! I predict they will both be up for an Academy Award next year and that Joaquin will win. Amy Adams plays Philip's wife and also does a good job with the role they gave her. It is supposed to be a story about the rise of a Scientology system and Philip is "The Master". He meets Joaquin, who is a drunk and has a lot of problems so Philip takes on the task of trying to help Joaquin and turn his life around, so the movie is mainly about that. There is also some nudity in the movie so if you're a prude, you won't want to see it. Otherwise, it is worth seeing just for the acting alone.
