Movie Review: Austenland
Okay, Austen lovers, I give this movie a two star rating. Most two star movies I don’t even bother blogging about, but this is Austin we are talking about, so before you

I enjoyed this movie, which is based on the true story of a White House butler who served seven presidents over thirty years, while his son actively worked in the civil rights movement in sit-ins, as a freedom rider, and with Martin Luther King. It serves as a rather concise survey of the hard won … Read more
We finally saw this last night. It has been on our list to do so for a long time. I didn’t have huge expectations so found it a pleasant surprise. Why is it generally given only three stars? I loved it and would give it at least four, even leaning to five. This might … Read more
I never saw this film when it came out, but I remember it was a blockbuster at the time. Now I know why. I loved it and give it five stars, even though the critics on the DVD case only give it four. Seabiscuit is a race horse of good pedigree, but is too small … Read more
Our daughter had never seen the movie Chocolat before so we watched it again with her. I love this movie of the iconoclast atheist quietly blessing people, and Johnny Depp is a pleasure too, especially as a romantic interest. But add to that chocolate, and oh my, you’ve got a delicious classic. I had assumed … Read more
We just saw this 2006 film about two unhappy woman alone at Christmas who don’t know each other but do a house swap through the internet between England and L.A. in order to mutually get away from themselves.

We finally got a chance to see this movie on the big screen for $2 at Edmond Town Hall Theater in Newtown; if you are local, you can catch it there before 4/24: MTW @ 7:00… I loved it. The story is compelling but the special effects are astoundingly beautiful. The amount of people coordinated … Read more
Edmond Town Hall in Newtown is our local source for two dollar movies, and yesterday the Hobbit was offered free by a corporate sponsor.
We went to this film for the music and because I’m a Maggie Smith fan. Movies about older people are few and far between. This film distinguishes itself by…
My middle sister has been after us to see this movie for a couple years and we finally got to it tonight. It’s a wonderful family film for dog lovers of every
– This is an outstanding movie about how the 13th amendment was ratified. I wholeheartedly recommend it and give it five stars. It does begin with a very gruesome (but realistic) hand to hand combat scene, but I still think this movie is appropriate for homeschooling families with kids in middle school or older. I … Read more
I was surprised to really like this movie. Notwithstanding it’s storyline about adultery, this movie’s theatric staging was so creative as to make it…
I really liked this movie back in 1993, and purchased it recently from a library sale. This film is about a look alike who stands in for the President, but…
I loved this movie and heartily give it five stars, regardless of the marijuana usage that gives it its R rating. A French film in subtitles, this is about…
My husband is a Pixar fan and he was the driving force behind seeing this film. We enjoyed it. I’d give it four stars; the stunning animation was done so…
If you loved the movie The Devil Wore Prada, you may wish to see this movie too. It’s about the real editor-in-chief of Vogue, Anna Wintour, who is considered
This movie is a hard one to review. We went because a friend of mine loved it; we liked it too, although I wouldn’t give it more than four stars, and maybe only
