AUSTRALIA

Oh, you have GOT to see this movie! It was 2 hours and 45 minutes long, but it was so good. I cried so much I used up 3 kleenexes. The little boy in that was beautiful. He was part aborigine, part white. He stole the show! If he doesn't win an Academy Award for this, nobody deserves it! They gave it a 77 in our paper, but I give it a 100-it was that good!

BOLT

I went by myself; Sheila had something else to do that day. It's an animation cartoon about a white German Shepherd. John Travolta is the voice of the dog. It was really cute. I'd give it a 90.

BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA

I have met those dogs! The chihuahuas! Those dogs were on my plane when I came back from New Zealand. Their handlers have a place in Arkansas. That was a cute movie. The dogs talked. It wasn't animated, but the dogs talked. Take the kids.

THE CHANGELING

It stars Angelina Jolene. It's the one about the boy who went missing. They tried to give her another boy. She knew it wasn't her son, but they kept saying it was her son. They put her in an institution. They drove her crazy. It went on for a long time before they found out it wasn't her boy. She (Angelina Jolene) played a good part. I heard she's gonna quit movies and spend time with her kids. I give it a 92.

MADAGASCAR ESCAPE 2 AFRICA

It's great. It will make you laugh. They gave it an 84 in the paper, but I thought it was at least a 90. It had the same characters as last time. It was really good. Take the kids. I enjoyed it.

THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES

It has Dakota Fanning and Queen Latifah in it. God was Dakota Fanning great in it! I mean, it was a great movie. I thought it was one of the best movies I have seen in such a long time. Dakota Fanning is a great little actress. I think she's gonna be great when she gets big.

NIGHTS IN RODANTHE

It was great! It has Richard Gere and Diane Lane. Richard Gere went to the Outer Banks. She had just broken up with her husband. It's a wonderful love story. There's nothing dirty in it, so you could take the kids. I'd give it a 90.

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3

It was really good. I'd give it an 85. I liked it. So did Sheila. The kids were really good in it. It's about high school. It's about drama. They put this musical on, with dancing and singing. It was light-hearted and every once in a while, that's what you want to see.

BURN AFTER READING

Brad Pitt was in it. So was George Clooney. I didn't care for it, even though it had all those famous people in it. Brad Pitt acted like a kid. It didn't do anything for me. I wouldn't go see it again, let's put it that way.

EAGLE EYE

This had Shia Lebeouf in it. It wasn't that good. Sometimes you get a good movie and sometimes you don't.

THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR

It was OK. It was just a mummy movie. It was about an emperor. He died and so did all of his men. He brought all of them back to life. It was a lot like the first mummy. I would give it about an 8. I don't like dead people coming back to life, but it was cute.

MAMA MIA

It was really great! The music was fantastic. It was really, really upbeat. It was a fun movie to see. Glenn Close was wonderful in it. I give it a 9.

TROPICAL THUNDER

It was hilarious! It had Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr.. You will die laughing. It is hilarious. They go to the jungle. They are in the jungle. And it's just crazy. They do crazy stuff! You'll laugh your butt off. I give it a 9.

RIGHTEOUS KILL

It stars Al Pacino and What's-his-name. It was a mystery movie. You didn't know what was going to happen until the end. You didn't know who the good guys were until the end. One of them was a dirty cop. Them two old guys did good. It was a really good movie. It was something else.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH

I enjoyed it. It was a real interesting movie. How they got in there and how they got out. You could take the kids to this one. I'd give it a 9. I really liked it.

THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS 2

We went to see the one about the pants. You know the 4 girls who pass the pants around? Ugly Betty, and all them. It's been 3 years since they made that first one. It was cute. It was really good. It had a good ending. I'd give it an 8 1/2. They are all movie stars now.

SWING VOTE

Eh, it was okay. I'm used to seeing Kevin Costner looking real sharp, but in this one he was kind of down and out. They lived in a trailer. I went by myself because Sheila was camping. He had a little girl playing his daughter. She wanted him to vote. He promised her he would. Well, he got drunk and didn't go. It was just a typical movie. It wouldn't be something I'd go see again. I'd give it about an 8.

THE HULK

It was a lot of action. It was very entertaining. Take my word for it, you've really got to go see it for yourself. You'll be so tired when you get out of there, because you're sitting on the edge of your seat trying to help the Hulk. They did outstanding work on all 4 of those pictures--The Hulk, Iron Man, Batman and Indiana Jones.

BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT

Oh I thought it was wonderful. Keith Ledger was great in it! It was a lot of action, really kept you on the edge of your seat. I wouldn't take children. The way he was dressed and the way he was made up, that could be scary to a kid. It was long, but it was worthwhile. I would give it a 91/2 it was great. Or a 10.

KIT KITTERIDGE

It was about the depression and how they got through the depression. They had camps outside of town, where the people who had no place to go went. They blamed them for everything. If anything got gone, they blamed them. A lot of times they didn't do it. Abigail Breslin played a great part. I like her acting. She is so good for a young kid. There was a boy who had a little boy he took care of. Turned out, it wasn't a little boy at all, but a little girl. It was a great movie. I give it a 9.
