Secretariat, Release Date 10/8, Diva Screen Date 10/17

This is a fantastic movie. The acting is probably better than the movie itself, but it is a must-see.

Diane Lane and John Malkovich are at their best. Malkovich plays quirky in most of his films, but this weekend (RED) was a shining moment in lovable quirkiness! As the trainer, Lucian, he is at his best. Diane Lane is in the role of the not-to-be-messed-with housewife who won't take no for an answer. It makes you curious as to the liberties the producers have taken with the true story.


This movie is one to buy, a happy, clean store that's ok for all of the moms and mother-in-laws in the world. A feel good story that is a Diva must see!!

Red, Release Date 10/15, Diva Screen Date 10/16

My biggest question has to be "where is the hype?"
This is one of the best action-adventure movies I've seen in a long time. I go to a movie nearly every week and I've never seen a preview for this until two nights before I went to it!

Great cast, great storyline, great action! Very suspenseful.

I was worried in the beginning that it may be too much of a mushy, cheesy film...but it's not...AT ALL! This was shoot'em up, who's dead, who's alive and keep you guessing from beginning to end.


Helen Mirren must be one of the most beautiful "age-advanced" actresses there is. She is fun to watch and is downright funny. Mary Louise Parker is still able to play the doe-eyed innocent who you can't help but like.

This is a diva thumbs up and must see!

You Again, Release Date 9/24, Diva Screen Date 10/10

This was miss-billed as a romantic comedy, it should have been billed as a straight on chick flick.

A very cute and clean movie, anyone who is the least bit girly (apparently this even includes the random middle aged gay guy) should go see it. Both your mom and your 10 year old daughter could go!

The movie kicks off with Marni receiving a promotion and heading home to her brother's impending nuptials. It's during an in flight call that she learns her brother's bride is her most hated high school nemesis. Hilarity ensues and so does a brief appearance of Betty White as Grandma Bunny. Not only is Joanna (the bride to be) a part of Marni's past, but Joanna's aunt Mona (Sigourney Weaver) is a not so great blast from the past to Marni's mom (Jamie Lee Curtis).

From cat fights to food fights, matchy-match dresses, and blatant sabotage, this movie was funny, if not a bit cringe-worthy in parts.

It's a Diva must-see!
