FOR TEENS AND ADULTS
Million Dollar Baby
with Hilary Swank, Clint
Eastwood, and Morgan Freeman took the Oscar for Best Picture, Best
Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Director…and it should have. Swank
is Maggie, a hillbilly gal who wants to fight; Eastwood is Frankie, an at
the end of his training days manager and trainer, who doesn’t train girls;
and Freeman takes care of the gym, a promising fighter who lost his eye in
a bout and the word of wisdom—he also narrates the film as he did in
Shawshank redemption. This is an incredibly powerful film. No sex, light
swearing, no nudity. Forewarning—it's not an everyone leaves happily ever
after.

Pretty Woman 15th Anniversary
with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere and Julia Roberts is not a lot
different than the one distributed a few years ago. But, it’s a romantic
comedy that flows well. Gere is the dude with a ton of money who buys the
services of Roberts, the beautiful hooker with a heart of gold and a tad
rough around the edges. If you don’t own it, it’s a worthwhile addition to
your collection. Who Should See It?—. 3 Golden Eggs
