Hello to new and old friends and and to all of our fantastic family.
We have not updated the Movie Review Page as often as we used to because we have been watching more movies at home. Ken has nearly 600 movies and active memberships in two CD rental sites, and we both have pay per view options in our homes, that make movie watching, more comfortable and hot dogs are only 50 cents and not $4.00. (Although we have to admit we love the Big Screen)
Add to that the privilege of paying 33% more for gas than we did in the last quarter of 2007, (thank you Exxon, Shell, BP, and others that shall remain nameless but you know who they are)and the increase in price for even matinee shows at the movie theater ($15 for two between noon time and 4 PM), we have decided that we are going to do all that is needed to protect ourselves during these horrible financial times.(Please raise your hand if you are republican, but enjoyed the Bill Clinton Administration better). We hope that the future will bankrupt those who are raping us financially while they are riding the high tide. We(the American people) will have our say and they will not be happy when we do.( Unprecedented Profits every reporting period for the last year for the big oil companies?) Exxon reported billions of dollars. It is disgusting how this fleecing of Americans is allowed to occur.
However, we do have some reviews to share with you.
At the Theater:
21 - We always like Kevin Spacey and Kate Bosworth but the others were excellent as well.
The movie was very fast paced, entertaining, not predictable and interesting, (and love math, statistics and odds.) We didn't know story until the move publicized the event. Certainly worth seeing.
Ken and Len's two cents worth says 3.50 Stars.
Nim's Island - Very nice, family movie with a wonderful cast. Jodie Foster (old favorite), Gerard Butler(new favorite), and Abigail Breslin (America's darling child-actress since Little Miss Sunshine, are charming and endearing. We are suckers for happy endings. It is worth seeing.
Our 2 cents worth says.....3.50 Stars
Iron Man - The summer blockbusters are HERE.This movie was excellent, even for people like us who didn't care much for Robert Downy, Jr.. It is a classic comic book story brought to life by excellent actors such as Gweneth Paltrow, Jeff Bridges and Terrance Howard. The special effects are stunning and we can not wait till the sequel.
Iron Man is a solid.........4 Stars
Home Videos:
