Off the Map (ABC)

Posted on February 8, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR The show is a quintessential Shonda Rhimes. I’m glad that this show, unlike her other two shows, are slowly building up to the sex and not bombarding us by it. I’m excited for the stories that each person will be … Continue reading →

Against the Current (2009)

Rated R Ahh, I love this type of film. It’s a film that just tells a story. You can sit back and watch someone telling you a story. The humor was spot on and the tone was perfect for this film. I … Continue reading →

Come Live With Me (1941)

Posted on February 5, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR This film is a classic romantic comedy. It’s a fluff of a tale. The  immigration official was too unrealistic but I blame it on the writing not the acting. I also felt that the romance seemed rushed, which again … Continue reading →

Babylon A.D. (2008)

Posted on February 1, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 This movie could be somewhat confusing. The story was at times choppy and perplexing. The special effects were either good or bad, depending on the scene. The one thing I did enjoy about this movie was where I believe the director … Continue reading →
