Movie: G Force

G-Force is an amusing, entertaining film about a group of highly trained rodents who are involved in investigating a suspected criminal. Unfortunately, due to pressure by the FBI , they must leave their base and land up in a pet store full of surprises. The goal is to escape the pet store and get back to the business of getting evidence to convince the FBI that the threat to civilization is real. The movie even has an excellent car chase. Nicholas Cage is one of the voices of the rodents. This movie can be seen in 3-D as well as the 2-D format. Highly recommend this movie for the summer break!

Grade: A

Movie: Public Enemies

Strongly recommend seeing this movie. The setting is in Chicago during the 1930's. Johnny Depp is John Dillinger, the bank robber and Christian Bale is the FBI agent who pursues him relentlessly. The pursuit is a cat and mouse game and the stakes are high. Even though the movie is approximately 2.5 hours, it was fast moving and held my interest. There are many characteristics of John Dillinger such as the loyal friend, lover, and a man with a great sense of humor. Take a break and see this action-filled movie.

Grade: A+

Event: Billy Eliot on Broadway

Heartmoving story about a young boy who has a dream to become a ballet dancer. The setting is in the 1800s England where the family is actually involved with the coalminers strike. Times are hard and the community raises money for Billy Eliot to get an audition with the ballet company. The acting and musical numbers were superb. Recommend this musical highly as a must to see.
