    Dance, Girl, Dance with Maureen O'Hara and Lucille Ball. I never seen this movie and though it was fun to watch, it was alright but not a keeper. Maureen is a dancer in the movie. She is not a good dancer, but we do know she is a singer and actress. Lucille was alright. See and forget it later and say you've seen it.

    I watched The Dark Knight Rises last night on Demand from HBO. I don't really watch the Batman series but wanted to see this one. And thought it was alright for me. I am not a Batman fan, so I did find it sometimes hard to follow but I can understand why the Batman fans love these series. So, if you are one of those kind of fans, I am sure you've seen this one already but if you haven't, be sure too. As for those who is like me, watch it and enjoy it. And if you are not a Batman fan, don't waste your time. That is the best recommendation I can give you. I probably won't see it again.

    Identity Thief with Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy. The DVD was pretty good. There are sexual situations in the movie, and of course language, but I was entertained. Not for the young and family friendly, but one for laughter.

    The Green Berets with David Janssen, Jim Hutton and Aldo Ray. Another classic with so much controversy. But the Vietnam was such an animal. Duke believed in the soldiers, not the war, and that was what it was all about. I really like this movie. Another home run with me from TCM.

    In celebrating what would be Duke's 106 birthday, TCM is showing his war movies all day, and I just finished watching The Sea Chase with Lana Turner Hayworth. A well done movie with plenty of action and adventure. More to come. Happy Birthday, Duke. We love you and miss you dearly. Thanks for the movies to continue to remember.

    Safe Haven is another movie like The Notebook. I must say I was a little disappointed with the story line and script. The lines were not good. I don't know if the actors are good or not, but the lines were dreadful. I'd say skip this one. The ending was surprising and not expected. I'm not going tell you about in case you want to see it. Not for the kids. Just a sappy love story with a little suspense. Kinda like the Julia Roberts movie, Sleeping with the Enemy.

    For my birthday, I received a couple of movies from my family and they hate westerns. So, I received Promised Land and Silver Linings Playbook. And today, I watched them both. They were movies I don't think I would buy, but I watched them and they were interesting. They were political and I might say they lean to the left as you might figure. They were well done and the acting was superb. But they were the type of movie that would be disappointing to truth and values that get distorted from the left. Just to warn you that they were entertaining; just don't take all of it seriously. Watch the language in these movies. Not for the young. Stick with Duke movies.

    Lincoln. This was an interesting movie. Should have been named The 13th Amendment. That was the point of the whole movie and it was good, but just tedious to watch for 2 and a half hours. It was alright, but expected something completely different.

    Peerfect Pitch is a movie about college kids competing in an acapella group nationally. It is a comedy and has its moments. If you like music, and I mean today's (going back 30 years), you may enjoy this movie.

    I was warned to not eat anything while watching this movie. I'll pass this along to you. More for the young people in 20's and 30's. But not to restrict this to the older ones out there.

    Ted is not a kids movie. Not at all. I really didn't like the movie. It offended me, and the material was not funny or good. If you like disgusting fowl language from a teddy bear, maybe you'll like it. I didn't.

    I saw To Kill A Mockingbird and it was great. Why was it great? I didn't see it on TV. I saw it at a thearter last week for TCM great night at the movies. They show a movie at theaters across the country and it was in my area. I finally saw this movie (my all-time favorite). When this movie came out back in 1962, I was only a year old. So, this was just a treat to see it and it was wonderful. I think I had chills all night and the music was fantastic. Gregory Peck was beyond belief. Hope to see other movies like that. Well worth the cost.

    Groundhog Day with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. A cute movie that you have to see over and over again just to see February 2 play out over and over again. Don't know why I like it. It is corny, but it's fun to watch. Maybe it is Andie. She is hot!
