Big Hero 6 This Is Where I Leave You Enders Game
by: Wendy Jane Henson IN THEATERS, ON DVD, AND FROM TV ON DEMAND: Wendy Jane Henson has lived in Tualatin since 1992. A former college instructor in creative writing and theater arts (PCC, Marylhurst, and PSU), she is a published author with articles and two books in print, a screenwriter and playwright, and a former producer and director in educational and non-profit theater. KIDS AND FAMILY BIG HERO 6 2014, 1hr. 33 min., Rating: PG, Common Sense Rating: 7+ This animated feature from Walt Disney Studios is a family oriented, action comedy which offers the kind of positive messages kids of all ages can appreciate. Presented in the superhero comic mode, including a scary super villain, which is so popular these days, the story keeps its focus on brotherhood, friendship and helping others. It also deals candidly but kindly with a more profound theme of coping with the loss of a loved one. If you want a movie with heart and humor that the entire family can enjoy, this is a worthy choice. COMEDY THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU 2014, 1 hr. 43 min., Rating: R, Common Sense Rating: 16+ Based on a best-selling novel by Jonathan Tropper, who co-wrote the screenplay, the movie’s award winning actors, led by Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, and Jane Fonda, struggle to make the film a success. Sadly, it’s a struggle just for the film to make sense. A dysfunctional family loses their father, because of whom they believe they are dysfunctional. Stuck together under the same roof for a week, they try to work out the mishmash of their lives.

Oct Film Discussion This Is Where I Leave
FILM: THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU FDG RATING: 2.6 Film Discussion Group (FDG) Scale is 1-5 (5 is best) Shawn Levy: Director, Jonathan Tropper: screen writer, author of book Jason Bateman: Actor: Judd Altman Tina Fey: Actress: Wendy Altman Jane Fonda: Actress: Hilary Altman DATE: October 19, 2014 DISCUSSION SUMMARY: THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU Jonathan Tropper wrote the very humorous book, This Is Where I Leave You, and also wrote the screen play for the film. It sounds like a recipe for success but for our resident film critics, the key ingredients were missing. A dysfunctional family including 4 disgruntled obsessive siblings with spouses, or girlfriend’s, plus children (one toddler in full potty-training proud exhibitionism), return home for their father’s memorial, and at their mom’s request, reluctantly attempt to sit shiva together for 7 days, a very traditional Jewish custom, although no one in the family is very religious. The situation sets the stage for a great comedic cast starring Jane Fonda (Hillary Altman) as the self- absorbed child therapist author matriarch (who shared way too many family secrets in her book), and Jason Batemen (Judd Altman) and Tina Fey (Wendy Altman) as two of the four siblings. What we were served, however, was rather flavorless although liberally peppered with profanity. While mildly entertaining, sprinkled with some humorous one liners and several funny scenes such as Judd’s fold down bed that can only open halfway as it is squeezed in an odd spot in the basement and the discovery of marijuana in the pocket of dad’s sport jacket, the film tasted flat.

At that time, a few football and boys soccer players began making their way to their fields. By the middle of practice, girls soccer seemed almost like an island, with boys soccer on the other side of the field, football across the way, and boys tennis on the nearby courts. I began to feel outnumbered as we began scrim- maging each other. The boys soccer team almost tripled the girls team and the football team might CROWNING ACHIEVEMENT.
