Kaw (2006)

Posted on April 30, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated R The Birds remake. Yes, that is what this is a remake of Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. Although, I don’t think that was what they were going for. If you want to see a film about birds attacking humans, … Continue reading →

Wicked (1998)

Posted on April 29, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated R This is a disturbing film. It does leave some questioning at the end. The way they portrayed the incest grossed me out and there was some inconsistency with the script which didn’t disrupt the story but made it a little baffling to … Continue reading →

Hold Your Man (1933)

Posted on April 23, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Jean Harlow and Clark Gable, what a pair. They were so good together that I had to double-check to see if they had a real life romance as well. They didn’t, which makes the chemistry even better. The film … Continue reading →

Chaos (CBS)

Posted on April 22, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR This show is confusion. Is it a comedy, is it a drama, what is it? This is the worst show I have seen this spring. The writing is the worst. If you are going to do a show … Continue reading →

Harry’s Law (NBC)

Posted on April 21, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated TV-14 Well, well, well. What a gem of a show. The writing is magnificent. Not surprising because the show is produced by David E. Kelley. It’s very classic Kelley with his very nutty characters. It’s been classified as the worst David … Continue reading →

Frankenstein (1931)

Posted on April 20, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR To me and many others this is a true Frankenstein story. The film was based on the play by  Peggy Webling  which in turn was based on the novel by Mary Shelley. The film doesn’t follow the book very much … Continue reading →

Hôtel Terminus (1988)

Posted on April 19, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR The downside of this documentary was that it is long. By long, I mean really long, too long. I think it could have  accomplished what it set out to do even if it was cut in half. I … Continue reading →
