3 Movies - 2 out of 3

The King's Speech
Loved this movie - I had no idea about the the King of England stuttering or having doubts about being King or the timing of WW II. Fantastic movie. Thought provoking on many levels. Colin Firth was superb.

Fockers - too funny. "I'm watching you watching me watching you". Light hearted and funny. Robert Dinero is hilarious. Easy to watch. A pleasure.

The Secret Movie at the Palm Springs Film Festival on Jan 7th - god awful. Miserable. Distrubing. Two thumbs down. When the movie ended - you could hear a pin drop. People leaving the theater looked shell shocked. Suggest organizers put a warning on the summary. Their little blurb said attendees would be "satisfied." Uh no. The lesson here is it is a bad idea to go to a film without knowing what it is about regardless of it's pedigree.

The Regal in Rancho Palos Verdes has easy access, no wait, is clean, with no crowds (most of the time). Buy tickets at COSTCO and two tickets are a bargain at $15.
