If you are in the mood for a refreshing love connection don't miss Leap Year. Mathew Goodle stays in character as a tortured enigma leaving you wanting to wrap him in your arms the entire movie. Amy Adams a woman on a mission, forgetting the big package brings home the "rude awakening". Realizing what she thought she wanted wasn't what she wanted at all, she changes gears. Falling for those dreamy eyes,his, sutble chivalry and a man of few words, she abandons her comfort zone and takes that risk.... Go see what happens and don't forget your tissue's ladies.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

High School Musical

Yes, the movie is a hit! Dancing, singing & and great choreograpy . All you star struct pre/ post pubescent teen girls........... he is there for the viewing. Gawk at Zac Efron as he flexes his muscles on and off the dance floor, dripping with a sensual glow that draws you in. But girls don't get too crazy.... his real life attraction to Vanessa Anne Hudgens is evident on set, it's a neon sign.
The cast appeared older than the average high school movie cast even though the music and dance was uplifting and dreamlike. I would hope If another HSM is in the future they will have to make it a reunion, that is if they can all jump like they do 4 years from now.
All that aside it is worth the price of a ticket , even in this economy.

It wasn't a trailer that pulled me in, but ultimately my curiosity got me in the door. Let me tell you ladies Shiloh la buff move over because Jim Sturgess (lead character Ben Cambell) is standing in your wake. Wow talk about charasmatic, smarts, shy, nieve & humble.... what a package deal. Ben,an MIT student driven to get intoHarvard Law competing for the one scholarship that will make his dreams come true-realizes it's not just good grades they want-he must "jump out off the page" and jump he does. Invited into an elite group of teens (several familiar faces) to play the game of "21" under the tutalage & orchestration of their diabolical professor for a small portion of the winnings. The professor played by Keven Spacey has nothing to lose & only millions to gain without taking any risk.... Lets face it Ben, someone has to pay the piper. Ben takes the challenge seduced by the sexy Kate Bosworth & the winnings he'll save for tuition at Harvard, why not? Ben has always been one step ahead of everyone else all his life, why should this be any different. Little does he know the fierce head security man Cole Williams is soon hot on his trail.,while also fighting for self preservation in the advanced technolical world of Security where his methods have become obsolete. Cole is driven not only to make an example of Ben, but he must prove a point-bad combination for Ben. The movie takes on many unsuspecting twists, with mystery, suspense, & deception at your fingertips, but you just can't grab hold....of the outcome. .Just sit back enjoy & put your feet up. Your in for some good entertainment.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

If you need a pick me up & a trip down reality lane ladies this is for you. Whether your able to conceive or never could conceive you will be pleasantly entertained by Fey & Poehier. Kate Holbrook (Tina Fey) your quintessential successful women of the last 4 decades who forgot to take time to have children, until bam...the timer goes off! In her futile attempt to get pregnant alone she exhausts all her options. But wait, there is one more Bracktel (Segourney Weaver) a person who arranges surragate mother's for those who can't conceive. Segourney falls right into character as she makes your stomach churn ! Her acting is fantastic, as expected. Then here comes every upper class womens nightmare, Angie (Amy Piehier), the perspective surragate, pure white trash with some shinny silver rapper that makes your fall in love with her character. As you would expect she is accompanied by her low life boyfriend . Without giving away all. Together with Fey they tourment & tease eachother through 1 1.5 hours of laughter. Their chemistry on screen is magical, their delivery is sincere. Wait, yes we can't have a happy ending without our prince charming- Greg Kinnear. He has you dazzeled trom the minute you lay eyes on him.. Coochie - coochie coo, he is definately leaves you drooling for more.
This is most certainly a money separator- go get a ticket! People didn't jump up at the end as they usually do. The men women & young adults just sat there watching all the clips at the end. Quite refreshing.Go enjoy your night, you'll leave with a happy feeling. I'm going back for more....

88 minutes

It's about time! Yet, 88 Minutes, that just wasn't enough . We asked for another suspense -mystery & we got it. Al Pacino delivered a performance that was somewhere between Scarface & the Godfather! He commanded your attention standing up! The supporting cast had many new faces but their leadership gave them precise direction & they all pulled off a riviting outcome. You stayed on the edge of your seat & if you weren't you were ponding who did it. When you thought you figured it out, yep you were wrong! Right up to the "dangling" end, you didn't know who would prevail. For all you Al Pacino fans, this is definately a must. Anyone who just likes being entertained, having your heart pound or likes a good mystery-DON'T MISS 88 MINUTES!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
