Rose Marie (1936)

Posted on January 20, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Sit back and enjoy a taste of mushy, sentimental, sugar-coated 113 minutes of  cinema. I don’t care that it was made during the Depression, it was still sugary sweet even for then. The acting was dreadful; the singing … Continue reading →

The American (2010)

Posted on January 17, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated R This film is very slow-paced with little action and not much dialogue. Anton Corbijn uses imagery and color to tell his story. It’s so slow it boarders on boring until the last thirty minutes then all your questions … Continue reading →

The Langoliers (1995)

Posted on January 16, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 I’m always amazing at filmmakers who can take a short story and make it into a movie. Especially when that movie is a mini-series. This film was based on a Stephen King’s novella called Four Passed Midnight. While I … Continue reading →

Posted on January 15, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR This is a classic and it has the greatness of a classic. This film was directed by Frank Capra, who most famously directed It’s a Wonderful Life. It has the feel good feeling that Capra always gives us. … Continue reading →

The Ladykillers (1955)

Posted on January 12, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR A  phenomenally written dark comedy. This film doesn’t have any cheesiness to it. It’s very witty in the comedy. I really enjoyed how simplistic Katie Johnson played the Old Lady. She was a gem. I wish more comedies were written … Continue reading →
