i'm the older movie buff on here, i can see. but i value these old movies so much. and tonight i saw "same time, next year" with alan alda and ellen burstyn. i've seen it before, but always edited for television. this was the dvd, and it has soooo many great lines in it that i had never heard before. they had been cut out due to their sexual nature. this is essentially a play. it was written as a play. these lovers meet one weekend a year even though they are married to other people. it's great to watch their truly loving relationship grow over the years in spite of the fact that they love their spouses and families and only meet one weekend each year. it's clever, it's mature, it's sexy, it's funny, and very human. it's adult, so i don't recommend it for the kids, but what a great little intelligent jewel!

                                         Review for War Horse



For those of us who love animals, this movie will earn your respect and admiration. A glowing portrayal of the livelong bond between a boy and his horse, even when separated.

War Horse is directed by Steven Spielberg, so you know you’re in for one high adventure ride. It begins with the friendship between an amazing horse named Joey and the young boy, Albert, who trains and tames him. Albert is laughed at by the rural England farm community when he hooks the horse up to a plow to save their family farm, but Joey is none too proud to plow the land.

Your heart will break at Joey and Albert’s forceful separation when the horse is drafted into the First World War. Made to pull heavy machinery and exposed to every adverse condition, Joey manages to change the lives of all those he encounters: British cavalry, German soldiers, and the granddaughter of a French farmer.

We experience the First World War through the eyes and soul of a horse on the front lines. It is  dramatically raw, and emotional, yet full of hope as the shaken balance of  trust and friendship is restored.  

Highly recommend!

We saw "The Muppets" today!  Very cute, very sweet.  I don't feel it was as good as the original "Muppet Movie", but Muppet fans out there will have a ball!!  I fell in love with the Muppets from Sesame Street and later the Muppet Show, as did my daughter.  They continue to be fun and endearing!!  A few really good laughs and some nice musical numbers!  All in all, enjoyable family fare!! :-)
