FRACTURE, but certainly not broken

(Len)
FRACTURE, is a moody and suspenseful, psychological thriller that is brilliantly acted by Sir Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gossling.
Watching a veteran like Hopkins verbally joust with Gossling is worth the price of admission.
It was a treat to watch both actors in this compelling and surprisingly funny thriller.
The cinematography is stunning at times; the script was clever and original; and the supporting cast was strong and first rate.
I enjoyed this movie very much. Partly because I love Hopkins as an actor, and because FRACTURE was well done. I give this cinematic treat 3.75 STARS.
Please stop by again soon when we will give you "Our 2-Cents Worth" on this summer's 1st Blockbuster, Spiderman Three.

Meet the Robinsons (in 3-D) - An Amuzing Invention

(Len)

This Walt Disney Studios' animated feature film (Meet the Robinsons in 3-D) pleases in every regard. It is state of the art animation; it is a good story; it is touching; and it is entertaining and fun.
This story of an orphaned brainiac child, takes us through his search for the family he so desperately desires. Introduce a little science fiction, and VOILA!, The search becomes assisted by a little time travel to the Future.
The innate feelings of belonging are tenderly explored as Lewis hopes to become adopted.
The movie unfolds at a surprisingly rapid pace and never looses it focus.
I am a big kid at heart and I give this beautiful and hilarious animated sci-fi-ish-cartoon 3.5 Stars.
While on the subject of animated films, I saw Happy Feet this weekend. This won the Academy Award for best Animated film from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. I enjoyed it and it was well done, but it my humble opinion Cars should have taken the Oscar.

I agree with Len on this movie. (Meet the Robinsons) It was a good animated movie; the 3D effects were great; the story line was simple and the plot predictable. However I did enjoy it and it held my interest the entire time. It was cute and amusing, even though I do not normally go to this type of movie.
I would give it a middle of the road ranking of 2.5 stars.

For Happy Feet, I thought the dancing animation was excellent and think it probably got the Oscar for that, however, like Len, I enjoyed Cars a lot more."

That is this week's installment of "Our 2-Cents Worth". Please check back soon and see what else is UP at the movies.
Until then, "Keep Moving Forward" (Walt Disney)

Now I cannot express myself as well as Len, but this movie had me staying awake the whole way through, which is very unusual. Not disregarding the fact that I really enjoy "action". This movie delivered, Mark Wahlberg played an excellent role, and kept me interested and wanting more. Shall I go into the story line? ........ You need to go and see this one for yourself.

I give this movie a SOLID 4 stars out of 5. Great cast, good story line. What more can I say????
