Web log that provides periodic reviews of movies using a new rating system in 2024. Formerly, movies were rated as a "first-date" movie and/or "first-rate movie rental". In 2022 and 2023, we rated movies on a Beer basis. See details in the sidebar below. Beginning 2024, we now use a simpler rating system - Thumbs Up/Down!

Trouble with the Curve
Movie with Clint Eastwood, Amy Adams, and Justin Timberlake. Clint Eastwood is an aging baseball scout. Amy is his daughter. Justin is a former baseball player now turned scout.
Mixed reviews by critics... This one liked it, easily makes the "First Date" movie rating!

Dark Knight Rises
Another in the Barman franchise bringing back Christian Bale and Gary Oldman and new comer.... Gordon Levitt. Liked the action, storyline was excellent, did not feel like a movie that went almost three hours! Even better was the twist that made you rethink who was good and who was bad! Long movie but can say this one is a safe first date movie.

The Vow
Movie with Rachael MacAdams and Channing Tatum as a young couple dealing with the Rachael's memory loss after a car accident. Rachael remembers nothing about her life with Channing.
Story drags at times but still makes an entertaining movie. Safe first date movie.

One for the Money
Katherine Heigl plays a divorced, down on her luck, unemployed woman. To make ends meet she takes on a job as a Recovery Agent - Bounty Hunter. Slow action. Could have been better. Save for a rainy day, and hold as a first date movie.
One Hit from Home
Baseball movie about a Pro Baseball Player who leaves the game due to a knee injury. Some how he gets pulled in to coaching a College Team struggling to win.
Slow movie that could use help in the storyline. Don't recommend it as a first date movie. Pick something else.

"Double"
Richard was responsible for tracking down Cassius' team of assassins. He succeeded in neutralizing them except for Cassius. Now retired, he is satisfied with leaving things "as is". Topher is a young FBI Agent who earned a Master's Degree writing a thesis on Cassius' exploits. Now that he has resurfaced what better team to assign the case than Richard and Topher!
Hold as a first date movie as the movie drags a little at times; let's not start a first date with moments that drag along... hint, hint, hint. But, do check it out. Was entertained and enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot.
