Great puppy movie for dog lovers.  Terrible acting, contrived story, awful dialog.  Turn the sound off and it is much better!  1/5 stars.

Copenhagen

interesting story arc of a bad person who gets a little better via interactions with wise girl.  well-acted, and great showcase for Danish tourism.  Not a good film. 2/5 stars.

Particle Fever

Not as good as the critics said but not terrible.  The physics was distilled down to meaningless Hollywood nonsense.  3/5 stars.  Interesting inside look at the people who work on the Large Hadron Collider.

Man Up

Slightly better than the critics said, 3/5 stars.  Big heart, great acting, dialog, plot twists, post production.  Weak message, shallow Hollywood values.  Nice rom-com chick flick.
