(M) Pay It Forward
Grade: Horrible

This movie really could have been something. It started out with a scene in a classroom that made me think this could be worth watching, sadly it was not. The movie which has the idea of social change (a topic I enjoy) instead focused on the personal relationships between a child, his mother, and a teacher. The characters were not interesting, Haley-Joel-Osmand or whatever his name is was not that great of an actor. Helen Hunt as a white trash mom who was a stripper and a casino-drink-server was unbelievable. Bon freakin' Jovi as the alcoholic boyfriend... Jim (Jesus) Caveso (or whatever his name is) as some homeless guy was the only role that seemed okay. I really did not enjoy this movie, but I didn't hate it, therefore I watched it to its completion. Oh, and the ending was ridiculous.


(M) On Golden Pond
Grade: B

This was a really enjoyable movie. I LOVE old people! The old man (played by Henry Fonda) reminded me of my Grandpa a lot. It was great. It deals with a couple who are aging and having to accept that their lives will soon be over. Jane Fonda plays a daughter who feels her dad never really cared for her and works to re-establish that relationship. It's a feel good movie, a small cast and enjoyable.
