This one keeps you on your toes if you like "who dunnit" type of movies. It is filmed like the movie "Vantage Point" where you see the same events over and over but from each participant's view point. Very intriguing. You don't really know what happens until the very end so stay tuned.

Wow...this one really makes you think! Being in law enforcement for 27 years had already taught me that there is no such thing as an "eye witness." This movie proofs it.

A great FAMILY Christmas movie, especially if you like dogs. Be sure to watch the "Extras" after you watch this movie, especially the one about all the dogs they used.

This is a great addition to your Christmas movie viewing list.

EXCELLENT movie, well done, Steve McQueen! The acting was on-point and very realistic. It was very hard to watch some parts, especially the beatings, but unfortunately, that's the way it was in those days. Thank heavens we are past that and no longer own slaves.

I hesitated to watch this movie thinking that it would be boring, after all, it's about a guy that gets lost in the desert. But it turned out to be a very good movie that I would highly recommend. James Franco does such a believable job as the lost hiker. It does get a little gruesome in parts so be forewarned.

One, of not the best, torture movies I've seen. Great acting and great scenery.

Synopsys: An incredible true-life story of heroism and a man's unbreakable will to live. Norway, 1943: After a failed anti-Nazi sabotage mission leaves his eleven comrades dead, Norwegian resistance fighter Han Baalsrud (Thomas Gullestad) finds himself on the run from the Gestapo through the snowbound Arctic reaches of Scandinavia. It's a harrowing journey across unforgiving frozen wilderness--one that will stretch on for months and forces Jan to take extreme action in order to survive. With gut-punching realism and vivid psychological immediacy, director Harald Zwart pays tribute to one man's extraordinary courage--and to the everyday heroes who helped him along the way.

Lots of interconnected, emotional stories in this one. Basically another "Twister" story

Synopsis: Four families in a Heartland town are tested when a massive storm hits, giving them just 13 minutes to get to shelter before the largest tornado on record ravages the town, leaving them searching for their loved ones and fighting for their lives. In the wake of total devastation, everyone must overcome their differences and find strength in themselves--and in each other--in order to survive.

An oldie, but goodie! Who's afraid of a ghost? Not John Cusack as a writer of ghost and spirit phenomenons. So he checks into The Dolphin Hotel, Room 1408, to spend the night to debunk all the horror stories associated with that particular room. Then the fun begins.

I love movies based on true stories and this one is played by the real heroes. This one was a little slow at the beginning, trying to set the scene for the train ride I wish they would have spent more time on the train ride, but it's still a good movie.

Enjoyed this one. This type of situation is becoming more and more common as religions and races mix.

Synopsis: Ben and Kate are expecting their first-born child. When there are complications, both sides of the family must put aside their differences to save the family. Family first in this hilarious and heartwarming film featuring an all-star ensemble cast.

Interesting storyline and well done, but not my cup of tea.

He's injected with an unknown substance in an experiment that's designed to kill, but when it restores his damaged organs and reengineers his strength, he's determined to get revenge on his brutal captors.

I hesitated about ordering this movie because of the content. I thought it would be rather boring...watching grown men fight for 33 days, but it turned out to be a very heartwarming, interesting movie. It just goes to show you what the human body and mind is capable of doing when pressed to the limits.

Great female action movie!

Synopsis: When a top-secret weapon falls into mercenary hands, wild card CIA agent Mason "Mace" Brown (Jessica Chastain) joins forces with rival German agent Marie (Diane Druger), former M16 ally and cutting-edge computer specialist, Khadljah (Lupita Nyong'o), and skilled Colombian psychologist Graciela (Penelope Cruz) on a lethal mission to retrieve it. The unlikely team must also stay one step ahead of a mysterious woman, Lin Mi Sheng (Bingbing Fan), who is tracking their every move as the action rockets across the globe.

I liked the storyline but it wasn't really what I expected. In my mind, the world would be full of chaos, but this movie didn't show any of that. It centered on this couple and their reaction to the heartbreaking news.

Having lived in an apartment, I know the pitfalls of having neighbors, especially noisy ones so this really hit home to me. I really enjoyed this movie because it left me guessing up to the end. It's a very good "who done it" movie with good acting and a good storyline.

Very cute movie for kids, but adults will find the humor in it too. This teaches children that although some wishes do come true, be careful what you wish for.

"It"(Sand Witch) was made by the wonderful puppeteer, Jim Henson (The Muppets) and the voice of Eddie Izzard and both are so charming.

This is an older woman (and married) and younger guy movie. It really makes you think about relationships and what to expect. I loved Anton Yelchin's accent and gravel-y voice in this movie...such a shame that he died so young. Also stars Glenn Close and Frank Langella as his parents. Maybe this is how all marriages should be???

Not reading the entire write-up, I thought this was going to be a funny drama about an accident-prone 8-year-old boy. It's WAY more than that. The characters are developed slowly and constantly throughout the entire movie. It dives deep into one's imagination and love of family...with a SUPER twist at the end.
