This movie is about how a whimsical, melancholy and intense family bonds. I thought it was very funny - at least in parts. Each character has his or her oddball ways. Its rated "R", probably because of the drug use and a suicide attempt.

1 hr. 48 min.

Showtime
(Robert DeNiro, Eddie Murphy)

A pair of mis-matched cops are put together by their police chief to star in a Cops Cable Show. There's a lot of laughs as well as explosions, crazy driving scenes, shoot-em-ups, just general unbelievable happenings! It was funny in parts. Some of the scenes were too unrealistic. The reviewers apparently thought it was good. Rated PG 13 - especially for language!

1 hr. 32 min.

A Miami Dentist inherits a team of ornery sled dogs. He moves to Alaska to try and race them and has to overcome a lot of obstacles. I enjoyed this movie immensely! Rated PG.

1 hr. 40 min.

Ocean's Eleven
(George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts and many other young stars that I have seen but I really don't know their names)

This is a lighthearted caper about a gang of fun-loving criminals who rob the 3 biggest casinos in Las Vegas in a single night. The cast made it look like they were really enjoying themselves - their maneuvers were great! I enjoyed this movie. Rated PG

At least 2 hours but I can't remember exactly.

The Others
(Nicole Kidman)

A supernatural thriller. I had a hard time really understanding it until I discussed it with other people at work and friends who had seen it. I also had a hard time hearing it (although at 68 years old I might need a hearing aid!). Kidman is waiting for her husband's return from WWII when servants start disappearing. The reviewers said it was an excellent "creep show" Rated PG13

1 hr. 42 min.

A take-off from the X-Files and Blair Witch Project (which I couldn't stand and I got nauseated from the bouncing camera in Blair Witch). Based on a true story in which a creature or apparition or alien being haunts a small town. Very hard to follow and understand. Rated PG13

Mothman Prophecies 2 hr. approx.

This movie was excellent from the very beginning. It's a vibrant adventure filled with excitement. I recommend it for all ages even though its rated PG13. This is award material. A sequel is sure to follow and we have something to look forward too.

This movie is about an orphan boy who discovers his true identity - as a Wizard. On his 11th birthday he enters Hogwarth's School of Wizardry. There are great special effects. It's a fun movie for all ages. Rated PG

2hr.30min.

I thought this movie was very interesting - it kept my mind occupied and wondering what was going to happen next. It gives you an insight into a children's cancer ward. I won't give away the ending - and neither should you! Rated PG13

1 hr. 15 min.

Gosford Park
(Eileen Atkins, Bob Balaban)

This is an Agatha Christie murder mystery and has a lot of interesting English characters. It shows you how the wealthy live and how spoiled and selfish some of them can be. They were especially self-centered in how they treated their servants. I liked seeing the lives of the servants and how they survived in this environment. I enjoyed this movie very much. Rated R

The story of a brilliant Nobel Prize winner, John Nash Jr., and his mental illness. There were times when I got lost in the movie, but as it went on I was able to understand it better. It is definitely Oscar material! Rated PG13
