— — Cameron Diaz (as Carly Whitten) is seeing the man of her dreams (Nickolaj Coster-Waldau as Mark King). He is handsome, great in bed, caring, and……married. Whooops. Leslie Mann (as Kate King) is the wife who Diaz meets when she decides to surprise her wonderful guy at his home. Kate pursues a friendship with…

— — Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Captain America (Chris Evans), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and Falcon (Anthony Mackie) fight evil forces from WWII and a very powerful opponent, the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan). Sleeper agents have been sitting inside S.H.I.E.L.D for years and years waiting to be activated. That time has come, and no…

 (The Bible meets Transformers) — — The cast is good,  the action is good,  the script leaves a lot to be desired. Emma Watson rocks, and so does Russell  Crow as a slightly deranged Noah. It was #1 in the box office this weekend. — Drive Safe!  Never Forget.

(ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ) – – Other than a catchy tune, “The Lego Movie” is sleep inducing terrible. I fell asleep several times, and Lori took a nice relaxing snooze as well.  Leaving the movie several adults were talking about how awful it was.  One mimicked putting her finger down her throat.

On a flight to London, Marks gets a text message on his secure cell phone (and network) telling him that every 20 minutes someone on the plane is going to die…

(Interesting History Lesson) – – Based on a true story, this is a truly fascinating history lesson on how six brave men (none of whom are soldiers) save an incredible amount of cultural history including books, paintings, sculptures, etc. during WW II. George Clooney (as Frank Stokes) urges the President that there is a need…

(Frenetic) – – Kevin Hart (as Ben Barber)  is a wanna be policeman dating a real policeman’s (Ice Cube as Detective James Payton)  sister. The deal Payton makes with Barber is that he will get his blessing to marry his sister if he proves himself during a one day “Ride Along”.  Making life difficult for…

(SUPERcalifragilisticexpialidocious) – – A very interesting look into the behind the scenes work that is involved in making a movie from a book. Author of the “Mary Poppins” series,  the curmudgeonly P.L. Travers (played superbly by Emma Thompson), has been courted for 20 years by Walt Disney (the incomparable Tom Hanks) to sign over the…
