Grade: C+ I found Tomorrowland visually stunning, however the plot was convoluted especially for the younger set and was about 45 minutes longer than it needed to be. Parents can be comfortable in taking the children to see this movie. There are several good role models and the violence is kept to a minimum. Tomorrowland…

Grade: B+ The Woman In Gold is a wonderful venue for Helen Mirren to shine and for Ryan Reynolds to show us that he’s more than just a pretty face. Reynolds dug deep and showed us another layer of his acting skills as Randol Schoenberg, the young attorney who took on the entire government of…

Grade: C Effie Gray was a slow paced Victorian period piece. I would have liked to have seen more Emma Thompson and less of Dakota Fanning looking like a sad whipped puppy. I do enjoy Dakota and loved her in Hound Dog but this movie was not a great vehicle for her angelic face that…

Grade: B- Little Boy is a little movie with a big heart. It’s a great family movie that teaches us faith, the value of never giving up, and most of all teaches the younger set about the pain and hurtfulness of racism. Children in the 7 to 11 year old range will enjoy Little Boy,…

Grade: B WW I history buffs will enjoy this movie ever though it’s not completely historically accurate. Russell Crow did a respectable job directing Water Diviner and the acting was good.

Grade: B- The producers of Home did a fine job of giving youngsters a movie with lots of action, movement and funny looking creatures. The story line was just adequate enough to keep the audience engaged. Jim Parsons was excellent as Oh and Rihanna knocked it out of the park with her interpretation of Tip

Grade: C+ There’s lots of action, lots of things being blown up, and people dying one after another. Sean Penn if very watchable and gives a respectable performance as does Javier Bardem. The plot can be difficult to follow with all the globe-trotting that takes place.

Grade: B+ Disney studios along with Kenneth Branagh as director has given a fresh look to an age-old fairy tale. The original animated movie of Cinderella is a classic and hopefully this is how posterity will view the new Cinderella. It’s a beautiful movie with an outstanding cast and spot on directing.

Grade: B- TSBEMH is not a stand alone movie. If you didn’t see the first one you’re going to find yourself completely lost. I thought this sequel was as funny and charming as the first.
