The Monuments Men

☆☆☆1/2

+
The fact that this is a true story...of a platoon sent to Germany in World War II to recover art stolen by Hitler...makes it much more interesting.
All star cast includes: George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin, and Cate Blanchett.
_
The first half (or more) is very slow...and the story should have been much better.

Rated PG-13
1 hr. 52 min.

Labor Day

☆☆☆☆

+
Kate Winslet gives a strong performance as a single woman who can barely face the world because of past heartaches. Along comes Josh Brolin...a man in serious trouble...who reminders her how it feels to love someone.
-
It's slow...Winslet may have been "over directed"...the storyline is tough to believe, but this film is much better than most critics will lead you to believe.

Rated PG-13
1 hr. 51 min.
