Patrick Barney and Susan "Sam" Shockley have hosted their half hour TV show," His & Her Movie View" for over 20 years. They have been members of the Washington Area Film Critics Association since its inception. In 2012 they decided to use FaceBook&You Tube to reach movie goers worldwide.

They are more movie reviewers than film critics. If you are going to spend your time and money, will it be worthwhile?  While they like movies that deal with tough subjects and provoke lively debate, they also know that many people go to the movies for entertainment and a break from reality.  Entertaining movies are not bad because they don't deal with pressing issues, but they can be bad entertainment.

They mix this philosophy with the age old conflict of the Male- Female view of the world.  They can both like a movie for entirely different reasons.  They see the same movie at the same time, but they don't really "see" the same movie.

They are a happily married couple---to each other.  Patrick says," Our show has been great for the marriage, I think some hidden aggressions are vented during the show and we go home even more it love. If you can sit through 250 movies  a year together & then argue about them in front of strangers, you got to be in love."

REEL BOOMERS:  We are the "Reel" Boomers! While Hollywood may still caters to the 15-28 crowd, we view movies with 50+ year old eyes. We think Boomers are a major force in the film world and Hollywood should work to get us back into the theaters.
A good Movie must be seen in a Movie Theater -- at least the first time!
We meet so many people who love movies yet when we ask them "What was the last movie you saw in a movie theater?", their answer lets us know that they don't see first run movies, they watch DVD's or video tapes at home on TV.
By not going to the Cinema, people miss the full experience; folks waiting in the dark with joy and anticipation of the experience they are about to have.
Every movie is different, exciting or tragic; whether it is a Love Story or a Western, Science Fiction or Chic Flick, Mystery or the Wonderful World of Disney, being on the big screen will always make it better than seeing it in the den with the phone ringing, the kids running around and the kitchen oh, so close.
