Posted on June 14, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated NR I had low hopes in enjoying this film but much to my surprise it was very entertaining. It had the usual sci-fi storyline: man makes machine now machine will destroy man. Although, this storyline had the underlining theme of … Continue reading →

Wendy and Lucy (2008)

Posted on June 11, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R I don’t usually cry at movies but I made the mistake of watching this film alone. The director, Kelly Reichardt, values the relationship between a human and a dog. We watch as Wendy drives cross-country to a new job … Continue reading →

The Magic of Ordinary Days (2005)

Posted on June 3, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated NR I absolutely adore this film. I love the simplicity of it; the natural flow of the story. This film is more than just a simple love story, it goes deeper.  We follow two people who came from different worlds, fall in love with … Continue reading →

The Road (2009)

Posted on June 1, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R The film starts by following a father and son on a journey to the coast in a post-apocalyptic world. This movie is very sluggish and doesn’t explain the events very effectively. I’m not one that needs to be knocked over the head … Continue reading →

Dancer in the Dark (2000)

Posted on May 29, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R This film is visually stunning.  Nearly blind Selma lives in a mental world of fantastical song and dance. The colors of this mental world are brilliantly vibrant. The film seamlessly flows though the song and dance to tell a poignant story … Continue reading →

Lost (ABC)

Posted on May 28, 2010 by laurarachel4

I have watched the series Lost from the beginning. Been fascinated, confused, intrigued, angry and every other emotion you could think of though these last six years. It has everyone upset that they did not answer every question that they left … Continue reading →

Avatar (2009)

Posted on May 27, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 I saw this film in 3-D. Was it worth it? Ahh, no, I don’t think so.  I couldn’t tell if the movie really was in 3-D. Did that make it worth it? I don’t think so, I wanted to transported to … Continue reading →

Posted on May 26, 2010 by laurarachel4

1950-2009 I’m a girl who grew up in the 80’s and the director I remember the most is John Hughes.  I love his movies, all of them. There isn’t one that I dislike. What director has understood teen angst better … Continue reading →
