Woody's Movie Review 41

Here we go again, more movies for your perusal.

First is the long anticipated movie "Blind Side" starring Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw. I may be the last person to see this movie but that's OK. It was pretty good. However I was hoping for more football and less drama. Bullock plays a New Orleans woman who invites an underprivileged young man into her home and her life. 4 penguins.

Next is "From Paris with Love" starring John Travolta. Travolta plays a spy who is in Paris to stop a terrorist plot. He does have the help of a budding spy. The bullets start fly almost immediately. The body count goes up. But to me the story is lacking. 3 Penguins.

"The Road" is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie. Viggo Mortensen plays a father trying to get his son to safety after some event has killed off many of the population. The ones that survived are no cannibals. The story was weak and the acting was too. Some of the scenes were a bit much to take too. 2 penguins.

Lastly we have "Pirate Radio" starring Philip Seymour Hoffman. It is the true (?) story of a bunch of ships off the coast of England broadcasting radio signals. The music they were playing was not allowed on regular radio, hence the name. It is interesting but somewhat crude. 3 penguins.
