Movie Review: 'The Sitter' has some moments but not many
Submitted by Sam Bauman on Wed, 12/14/2011 - 2:26amBy Sam Bauman

It stars comic actor Jonah Hill as college failure Noah forced into baby sitting three of the most repellent child actors in living memory. He is also pursuing a blonde who is suggesting intimacy that night.

And while the film is pure twaddle, director Gary Marshall keeps all the balls in the air. And he should be able to; he made the same movie last year on a Valentine's Day theme.

Movie Review: 'Hugo' is Scorsese at his best and a holiday treat for all
Submitted by Sam Bauman on Sat, 11/26/2011 - 5:05pmThe motion picture "Hugo," now playing at the Horizon Stadium Cinemas at South Shore Lake Tahoe in Stateline, is a holiday movie that kids and adults can enjoy. It's Martin Scorsese's homage to film pioneer Georges Méliès, a French innovator who created much of the library of movie techniques back before World War I only to be forgotten amid the strife on combat in France. His films were largely destroyed to make such things as guitar picks.
