Movie Review: And So It Goes - PG13
Oren Little (Michael Douglas) is obnoxious and self-centered. He's a real-estate agent, and his goal is to sell one last house and retire alone. His life changes when his estranged son drops off a granddaughter he didn't even know existed for him to care for. Oren relies on his quirky neighbor Leah (Diane Keaton), who soon bonds with Sarah. Douglas is good as Oren, but Keaton is somewhat disappointing as Leah. She is good-hearted, and a lounge singer and many times, she can barely get through a song without crying; that gets old quickly. Oren does gradually warm to both Leah and his granddaughter. An entertaining, heart-warming story. Content warnings include one bed scene (no sex shown) and a few moments with crude humor and language.
I am so excited, Jean Marie! Great job! God bless! Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle

Movie Time!!! Break out the popcorn and get ready to check out this outstanding, much-needed resource for Catholic families who have been more than a little chagrined by the recent media review efforts of the USCCB office. In a commendable showing of creative, constructive outrage, a group of faithful Catholic bloggers have banded together to create the Catholic Media Review. Check it out!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After reading this informative review of the film Juno I’d say this site’s off to a splendid start, and it will become a “first-stop” reference when looking for information on what’s out there in the world of media, particularly if you’re trying to get a Christian perspective on things.
