repomenRepo Men
He Says: This attention-grabbing story about the greed of the medical industry touches on the subject of universal health care. Jude Law's performance is impressive in this pretty scary cautionary tale. A movie worth watching, but be prepared for the surgery scenes. ♦♦♦

She Says: One of the grossest movies I have ever seen. I even lost my appetite after seeing this. Starring Jude Law and Forest Whitaker, Repo Men is about a man who is forced to go on the run after he can't make the payments on the artificial heart he has been given. Unfortunately, I couldn't quite understand the ending. ♦

toystoryToy Story 3
He Says: The adventures of Andy's toys continue as the 17-year-old prepares to go to college in this sweet and touching conclusion to the Toy Story series of movies. There are also some interesting new toys (the Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear is a charmer). Not just for kids, this movie is for adults wishing to entertain the child within. ♦♦♦


She Says:
This funny and poignant flick sees Woody, Buzz and the rest the toy box crew dumped in a daycare center after their owner, Andy, departs for college. Now they must fight to get back. A fabulous movie for all ages and the best of the three. ♦♦♦

yellowhandkerchiefThe Yellow Hankerchief
He Says: A quaint road trip movie about three strangers traveling together through post-Katrina Louisiana. William Hurt, Kristen Stewart and Eddie Redmayne provide solid performances as the trio in search of a sense of belonging in this slow-burning Southern tale. ♦♦♦

She Says: A remake of a 1977 Japanese film by Yoji Yamade, this intimate road movie follows the transforming journeys of three lonely strangers traveling together through Louisiana. William Hurt produces a memorable performance, as do Kristen Stewart, Eddie Redmayne and Maria Bello. ♦♦
