Bedtime Stories Dec 2008

Adam Sandler plays Skeeter Bronson who babysits his sister's (Cortney Cox Arquette playing Wendy) kids for a week while she goes for a job interview out of state. He takes the night shift while her friend Jill (Keri Russell) picks them up in the morning and takes them to school. He lives in the motel where he works as a handyman and discovers the bedtime stories he is telling his niece and nephew are coming true after they are told, at least the parts chimed in by the children it seems to be because of the magical powers of the guinea pig, bugsy. He uses this to his advantage to better his life.

Anger issues land Madea (Tyler Perry in drag) in jail for 5 - 10 years. A young prostitute named Candace Washington (Keshia Knight Pulliam) gets arrested and it turns out the prosecuting attorney Joshua Hardaway (Derek Luke) knew her during their childhood years and because he was too close to the case he gave it to his fiance Linda Holmes (Ion Overman) to try who gets jealous of the friendship rekindling between the two as he tries to help her as much as he can.

Fireproof - Febuary 09

Remember Mike Seever from Growing Pains and a couple of Brat Pack 80s movies? Well he's doing Christian movies now he did several of the Left Behind Series and his latest is Fireproof. I LOVED THIS MOVIE!! I can't emphazise it enough if any couple is having martial problems this is the movie to see together. "Never Leave your partner behind." Kirk Cameron stars as Celeb Holt. He is a firefighter and a hero but he's let his marriage go to shambles. His wife is Catherine Holt (Erin Bethea) a public relations person at a hospital and they have one big fight that almost ends it all. She wants out and he don't care. His father challenges him to hold off the divorce and go through a 40 day love dare which will change the marriage. As it starts out the wife isn't buying it, it might have been let go for too long, many touching scenes seeing him pray and beg God and trying to make it right.
