Takers (2010)

Posted on May 14, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 This a mesh mash of what, I don’t know. I couldn’t follow the script if my life depended on it. Somebody has said that maybe it would have been better if they did better at the editing. I … Continue reading →

Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005)

Posted on May 13, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 This film is not to be taken too serious and I loved it. Tyler Perry is a genius when it comes to doing what is right in life. His characters are flawed but they learn their lesson in life … Continue reading →

Posted on May 12, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG “Maggie the cat is alive. I’m alive.” Yes, she is. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof has a lot of different nuances to the film that many people try to understand. What I saw and understand is that … Continue reading →

Baby’s Day Out (1994)

Posted on May 11, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG This has to be the worst film by John Hughes. To give him props he didn’t direct it but wrote it, which was worst. I thought the script was the worst thing about the film. Too over the top … Continue reading →

The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Posted on May 10, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated R This film doesn’t use explosions or CGI’s to make it a wonderful film. This is one of the many reasons that the film didn’t become a box office hit despite the critical acclaim. Although, it has taken me a while … Continue reading →

The Gift (2000)

Posted on May 8, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated R This film surprised me. I guess I should have read the synopsis before watching. It wasn’t what I expected.  I loved the story but it felt that something was missing. Sam Raimi does a wonderful job with the camera … Continue reading →

The Dresser (1983)

Posted on May 7, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG The Dresser is a story about an ageing star with a traveling Shakespearean theater group and his dresser. I thought that Albert Finney and Tom Courtenay were phenomenal in their performances. They take us backstage of the theater during a night of King … Continue reading →

The Americanization of Emily (1964)

Posted on May 6, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR I did not find this film very thrilling. I know it was not suppose to be thrilling, I suppose I mean enjoy. This film isn’t a bad film. The actors all did a fine job. I found the cowardliness of Charlie Madison … Continue reading →

Scent of a Woman (1992)

Posted on May 5, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated R This film is remarkable with some great one liners. Al Pacino performance of Frank Slade was the finest I have seen. No wonder he won the Oscar. I do feel that the film ran a little on the long … Continue reading →
