Tron Legacy

Great movie for the whole family.  The younger generation liked the action well enough and the parents loved the nostalgia and the continuation of a long-past sci-fi fantasy.

Jeff Bridges did himself proud. The younger new hero was very watchable.  The graphics and the action was quite well done. The storyline was -- well, who really cares in a movie like this one.  The "miracle" was implausible, impossible, irrelevant.  Go and see it for the fun and the special effects. 

Well done, Legacy!

Date Night

This movie was everything that we could have hoped it would be. It was fun, clever, predictably happy-ended, and it got the psychology of our demographic (late 40s, married with kids, average in most every way) just right. Steven Carell and Tina Fey were great together. The action sequences were thrilling enough, but they were also imbued with enough humor to make the audience howl. Oh, yeah, Mark Wahlberg had a relatively small, but endearing, role to play in the absolute success of this movie.

My wife pointed out that the movie used some very adult language, at times -- not profanity, exactly, but adult. Many parents would not be comfortable with their teens watching this movie, even though it is rated PG13.

This movie was great fun and we left the theater saying to each other, why aren't there more movies like this one?

The Blind Side

RuthAnn, Steve, and Courtney saw this movie and all loved it. Everyone will love this movie. It is a feel-good movie that manages to drum up some drama without the anguish of any really painful plot line.

The movie became especially poignant after the conclusion when pictures of the actual persons were juxtaposed with those of the corresponding movie characters.

This movie will sell many dvds and everybody will like watching it.
