February Movies

Another month has flown by!  In February, I enjoyed a few wonderful movies but several of the movies that I watched were quite disappointing.  After hearing all of the hub-bub about The Social Network, my teenage daughter and I were both looking forward to seeing it.  While I know it has received great reviews from the critics, my daughter and I just said, "YUCK!"  We felt as if there was nobody to like in the movie and the whole thing just left us with a bad feeling.  Of course, that is just our opinion but that is what these monthly movie posts are about - my opinion on the movies that I have seen!

February Movies

• Love's Long Journey  **** (I LOVE these movies and highly recommend watching them in order.  They are wholesome family viewing appropriate for older children.) 
• Love's Enduring Promise ****
• The Secret of NIMH * (After reading The Rats of NIMH and absolutely loving it, my children and I decided to watch the movie.  What a HUGE disappointment!  The movie is so little like the enchanting book.  We might have liked the movie better if we were not expecting the movie to be like the book.)
• Left Behind The Movie *** (I'm re-reading this series this year and watching the movies as I read the books.  I adore the books and the movies.)
• The Social Network **
• Disney Oceans ***
• Die Hard *****
• Drop Dead Diva Season 1  **** (I so enjoyed watching the first season of this show while folding laundry and working on mindless projects!  This is definitely a tv series I will watch again when the second season comes out on DVD.)

So, do you have any movies to recommend this month?  I'm always open to suggestions for good movies!
