WE BOUGHT A ZOO, Uplifting True Story
The heartfelt drama We Bought A Zoo comes to town and it’s for the whole family. A true story perfect for the holiday season with an uplifting account that shows what one family can do to help a community while healing themselves. I am a fan of this kind of film as it reminds us of the principles on which America is built, with dreams, hard work and service to humanity.
THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN, A KIDS THRILL RIDE
Making the most of the animation called performance capture Steven Spielberg creates a wonderful kid adventure with The Adventures of Tintin. The veritable rollercoaster ride of a film is even more spectacular in 3D. Targeted at lads of any age and for good family fun, rush to see the full feature film The Adventures of Tintin.
THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, SUSPENSE THRILLER
The mystery and suspense in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo gets menacing giving audiences an unsuspected thriller. I liked this version over the foreign release of the movie in 2010 because it’s in English, has Daniel Craig and the story moves along as it should, unencumbered by faulty direction. For those who like a good detective drama with a lot of action, see The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS, “A”
Another fine adventure for the London detective becomes afoot in the newest 19th century Sir Arthur Conan Doyle crime story Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. The cast from the 2009 release reprises their roles under the able direction of Guy Richie making this outing even more exciting than the last. Don’t skimp here; choose the theater with the best sound and picture quality to magnify your action experience.
YOUNG ADULT, TOO JUVENILE
Take two aspirins and go to bed, a great remedy for Young Adult, an over stated understatement that never gets entertaining. Billed as a comedy, the more the cast tries to make it one, the lesser it becomes. If you like a film with angst riddled plot, underdeveloped characters and only one very good performance than you are the only demographic for this film.

BLACKTHORN, AVERAGE WESTERN
When you think of Butch Cassidy we immediately add ‘and the Sundance Kid’, but if you saw the original movie you know that the two died in a break to freedom in Bolivia. But, what if Butch lived and escaped his untimely death? This is the premise of the film Blackthorn starring Sam Shepard. The movie is interesting, but a little too far fetched for me to handle. If you are interested however in the unlikely possibility, or just want to see a well acted Bolivian western, then give this one a try.
