Doubt

If you missed Doubt at the theater, please rent it and see why all the actors received Academy Award nominations for their performances in this compelling movie based on the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play.  Doubt is a mesmerizing  drama with four incredible Oscar nominated performances from Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis.

Kate DiCamillo’s Newbery Honor book comes to life in The Tale of Despereaux with the voices of Matthew Broderick, Emma Watson, Dustin Hoffman, and Tracey Ullman.  This beautifully animated movie tells the tale of mice and men  and the  ridiculous  nature of love and hope.

Bedtime Stories

Adam Sandler  stars in Bedtime Stories as  a man who makes up bedtime  fantastical tales  for his niece and nephew only to find that they magically come true the next day.

Keanu Reeves stars with Jennifer Connelly in the remake of the 1951 classic sci-fi movie, The Day the Earth Stood Still . Also look for the dreamy Jon Hamm (AMC’s Mad Men) and Will & Jaden’s little boy, Jaden Smith.  I suggest renting both versions to see why the original is so good. Who can forget those famous lines uttered by Patricia Neal...”Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!”
