Extremely Loud
Teenagers might find this movie a bit slow, but maybe not. It is a very thoughtful movie, beautifully done, but it takes some patience to watch it. Movie deals with a boy trying to come to grips with the death of his father in the 9/11 tragedy. The boy is extremely intelligent but very sensitive. […]
Joyful Noise
First class actors and first class idea but not first class script. Still, it is a very positive and fun movie with good values. Movie centers on the members church choir who are going to compete in a big competition. A young romance is treated in a realistic but positive way: the teenagers are in […]

Just a short note. I was watching the Winter X Games last night and saw an awesome win by Kelly Clark on the half-pipe. She did tricks no other girl snowboarder could do and seemed to simply just be having fun rather than competing in one of the most prestigious athletic events of the year. […]

Yet Tebow and the Broncos actually made it to the playoffs and have just pulled off an unlikely victory against the mighty Pittsburg Steelers, […]
New Year’s Eve
A good feel-good movie with a star-studded cast. Talks about forgiveness and second chances in a positive way, although all these types of movies tend to be a bit cliche’. Still, it makes for an entertaining experience with a positive message.
Adventures of Tintin
Not very impressed with this movie, although in its time I’m sure the book series, “The Adventures of Tintin” was very good literature for boys and probably girls too. Its just that this type of literature seems a bit out of place today as a movie, or maybe it was just the way it was […]
