CINEMA-
Review INVICITUS *****
Valentines Day ***
The Blind Side ****
How
to Train your DRAGON 3D 2010 PG-98m-
Is an entertaining childrens film, which
can be enjoyed on deeper levels by adults.
This adds up to a wonderful family film.
These great 3D special effects were
spectular but the cost of $16.50 seemed
exorbitant to me. The story is about a
Viking village that is constantly being
attacked by dragons. The teenage hero,
Hiccup is the gangly son of the Chief who
is a dissapointment to his father. Dad is
determined to turn his son into a
dragonslayer like all the other villagers.
Hiccup discovers that the dragons are
being dominated by a massive dragon and
the vikings set out to destroy the menace
and set the whole community free.

Directed by Stephen Speilberg. Stars
Harrison Ford as the swash buckelling,
whip cracking, fedora wearing,

track down priceless artifacts all over
the globe. Set in 1936 Indy is hired to

they are great fun to watch and the action
sequences are still some of the best put
on film.

& Jessica Beil (7th Heaven) -
Intitally I thought this movie would be
like the U.K. made Love Actually but was
pleasently surprised by the complate lack
of profanity, sex and or nudity. So enjoy
this American offering over its English
counterpart. In the end all the stories
came together beautifuly and even the
unhealthy relationship was handled
discretely.

You got me out here draggin' your heavy

Helen
Harris: Hey, Pastor Dan? Mr.
Self-righteous? I'm hanging on by a
thread here. I lost my sister, my
social life, my disposable income, my
ability to fit into a size 2, and - this
just in - my job. Pretty much the only two
things that haven't disappeared are my
nicotine fits and a few pounds that have
recently taken up residence on my ass. So
forgive me if I'm not too thrilled about
being lectured, in Queens, about being a
lousy legal guardian to three kids who
maybe shouldn't have been given to me in
the first place. Raising
Helen
Hitch:
When your wondering what to say, or how
you look... just remember... she is
already out with you. That means, she said
yes, when she could've said no. That means
she made a plan... when she could've just
blown you off. So that means it is no
longer you job to make her like you...
It's is your job NOT TO MESS IT UP. -Will
Smith as Alex Hitchens-

Story- Photography- Language- Acting- Sex
& Horror-(Violence) This Is how I
determine if a DVD is a Keeper- GBWhen I REVIEW a MOVIE it starts with
FIVE Stars & I add one IF it's a True
Story or I Like the Actors. The FILM loses
a Star if it is Animated or SCI-FI -
Excessively VIOLENT - Has unnecessary
NUDITY or SWEARING. If the ACTING is bad
or the STORY is mad & the PHOTOGRAPHY
is sad.
