Movie Review - 127 Hours

127 HOURS - Full Length Official Trailer HD

Morton sends his latest movie review: I went to see 127 Hours after going back and forth for 2 days trying to determine if I could watch someone cut their arm off to survive. I am glad i did, as it is quite an amazing movie on several levels. The personal story told by the actor representing the man who had to do this in real life was revealing and very reflective.

Movie Review - Anita

Anita - Trailer

Morton saw the Argentine film, Anita, last night. He sends this review: If you see this film playing near you RUSH to see it! It starts slowly and takes a shattering turn about a tenth of the way into the movie. The rest keeps you on the edge. This lost girl/woman with DS encounters a world she has never been in or understood.

Movie Review - Get Low

GET LOW Official Trailer - On Blu-ray & DVD

Morton sends his review of the independent film Get Low: I was expecting a good to very good movie based on the reviews. I thought my parents would relate and like it. They did, but for me it was much better than I expected. Each member of the ensemble was perfectly cast and the acting, story, filming, music was exceptional. Do yourself a favor, go see it. If you are a curmudgeon or reclusive you will like it even better!
