The Story of Ruth (1960)

Posted on April 17, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR This could have been a better done film. The film adds to the biblical story of Ruth and changes some of the narratives from the Bible. Through all that, it’s enjoyable to watch. It was film for CinemaScope. … Continue reading →

Noah’s Ark (1928)

Posted on April 16, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR I enjoyed this film. It’s a story that combines the biblical story of Noah’s ark with  a romance in World War 1. At first you may wonder how this can work and at times question how it works but it … Continue reading →

The Paleface (1948)

Posted on April 14, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR I think this film was a befitting lighthearted story. The chemistry between Jane Russell and Bob Hope was amazing.  Hope was in his element with the script and Russell was perfect for her role as Calamity Jane. The  jokes are classic … Continue reading →

The Man From Laramie (1955)

Posted on April 13, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Great Story. Beautifully filmed. I relished in James Stewart’s performance but I must say that Arthur Kennedy took the show. His performance almost out shines Stewart’s. This film isn’t your average Western. It’s more of a mystery or … Continue reading →

The Chicago Code (FOX)

Posted on April 12, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Now, this is a cop show. I was amazed by this show. It’s everything and more for a cop show. It has the grittiness you expect and good characters with great storylines. The acting excels from the cast. This is … Continue reading →

The 19th Wife (2010)

Posted on April 11, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Wow. This wasn’t what I was expecting. I knew this film was about polygamy but I wasn’t counting on what they would show or not show. This wasn’t the best film but I did enjoy the film. It was … Continue reading →

The Pacific (2010)

Posted on April 10, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated TV-MA The Pacific miniseries was produced by the same people who produced Band of Brothers. This should tell you what to expect. It’s a wonderfully produced film. The actors are relatively unknowns which I think help the film. Most critics commented on the … Continue reading →

Smooch (2011)

Posted on April 9, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR What the? This was the worst romantic comedy I have ever seen. The acting was terrible. It was too forced, too artificial, and overly done. The story was charming but boring. The chemistry between Kelli Martin and Simon Kassianides was … Continue reading →

You Don’t Know Jack (2010)

Posted on April 8, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR This film did a surprisingly good job of telling both sides to the euthanasia.  Al Pacino did a wonderful job portraying Dr. Kevorkian. In fact, I felt so sad for Dr. Kevorkian who is so obviously lost. I … Continue reading →
