It's Carol here again to tell you
what's new at Video Magic.
First of all I would like to update
you on my fathers cancer. We went this week for his
chest biopsy and we received some really good news. The
spots that the doctor was seeing in my fathers chest
area was not cancer. He has a condition called
sarcoidosis. This is an inflammation of the chest wall.
This condition can be treated with steroids and is not
deadly in most cases. He still has the cancer in his
neck lymph node but the cancer doctor has told us that
he has a really good chance of surviving the cancer
since it has not spread into his lungs. I really feel
that prayers have been answered. Just last week they
were telling us that it really looked like the cancer
had spread to my dads lungs and that his condition was
fatal. But in just a matter of one week we have got such
a different prognosis that it has to be prayer that has
worked for my father. I would like to thank everyone
that has taken the time to pray for my father and my
family.
Well now lets get back to movies.
There has been several good movies that have came out in
the past couple of weeks and of course I am going to
tell you about them.
Inside
Man: This was a
really good action movie with some really good actors in
it.
Academy Award winners Denzel Washington and Jodie Foster
and Academy Award nominee Clive Owen star in this
intense and explosive crime thriller.
The perfect bank robbery quickly spirals into an
unstable and deadly game of cat-and-mouse between a
criminal mastermind (Owen), a determined detective
(Washington), and a power broker with a hidden agenda
(Foster). As the minutes tick by and the situation
becomes increasingly tense, one wrong move could mean
disaster for any one of them.
From acclaimed director Spike Lee comes the
edge-of-your-seat, action-packed thriller that Wall St.
Journal is calling "a heist film that's right on the
money."

Larry
the Cable Guy: Health Inspector :
This is a really funny movie. A bit
cheesy but still funny. If you like silly comedy, you
are sure to enjoy this movie.
Irreverent
as ever, Larry plays a big city health inspector who’s
happy with his usual beat of greasy spoon diners and
low-rent ethnic restaurants. But his easygoing life is
turned upside-down when he’s saddled with a
straight-arrow rookie partner (Iris Bahr) and assigned
the biggest case of his career: investigating an
outbreak of mysterious food poisonings at the city’s
swankiest restaurants.
Infuriating restaurateurs with his bad manners, Larry
still manages to charm a sweet, shy waitress (Megyn
Price) into a budding romance. But when his unorthodox
methods cost him his job, Larry has to go undercover to
bring the conspirators to justice and ‘Git-R-Done!’
This one
deserves a Salyer Family

She's the Man: My two daughters watched this
one and they said that it was really really funny. So if
you need a good laugh you need to watch this one.
It's hard enough being the nerdy new guy on campus
without also being the new girl on campus, who has
fallen for the coolest guy on campus, who is totally
obsessed with the most beautiful girl on campus, who is
"crushing" on the nerdy new guy on campus.
Viola Johnson (Amanda Bynes) had her own good reasons
for disguising herself as her twin brother Sebastian
(James Kirk) and enrolling in his place at his new
boarding school, Illyria Prep. She was counting on
Sebastian being AWOL from school as he tried to break
into the music scene in London.
What she didn't count on was falling in love with her
hot roommate, Duke (Channing Tatum), who in turn only
has eyes for the beautiful Olivia (Laura Ramsey). Making
matters worse, Olivia is starting to fall for Sebastian,
who-for reasons Olivia couldn't begin to guess-appears
to be the sensitive type of guy she'd always dreamed of
meeting.
If things weren't complicated enough, the real Sebastian
has come back from London two days earlier than expected
and arrives on campus having no clue that he's been
replaced by his own twin sister.

ATL:
My daughter Amber watched this one
and she said that it was good. If is more for the teen
rapping crowd.
ATL tells the story of four teens coming of age in a
working class Atlanta neighborhood where hip-hop music
and roller skating rule. As the group prepares for life
after high school, challenges on and off the rink bring
about turning points in each of their lives. The film is
loosely based on Dallas Austin and Tionne Watkins'
experiences growing up in Atlanta and hanging out at a
local skating rink called Jellybeans.
