Sherlock Holmes (3 out of 5): Tried too hard to be clever and funny, but I love Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law is eye candy!

It's Complicated (4 out of 5): Our friend from the Office was the funniest part of the movie. Clever and fun flick.

Brothers (4 out of 5): I am a big Jim Sheridan fan! Intense and flew by.

Invictus (4 out of 5): It was great, but the sound was messed up in the theater so you couldn't hear the dialogue well in crowd scenes. My favorite parts involved the local impact, his security guards more than the global impact which was powerful too.

Avatar (2 out of 5): It was o.k. I guess I am alone on this one. The effects don't do much for me, it was a bit preachy too. I liked the lead actor and Zoe Saldana did a great job. Favorite part was the "connection" between the natives and the animals. That was cool.

Did You Hear About the Morgans (1 out of 5): Hugh Grant wasted is an understatement! I went to see it because the reviews said it was such a train wreck. Wanted to see it for myself.

Up in the Air (4 out of 5): An enjoyable film, but not the masterpiece it is being sold as for Oscar buzz.

I would like to see The Road, but it is only playing at 12:15 AM in Woburn!! AH!
