Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)

Posted on March 22, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR The Treasure of the Sierra Madre has a slow start to the greed of man. John Huston wrote an incredible screenplay from the novel by B. Traven. It shows the slow down fall of man from greed and begs the question … Continue reading →

How to Train Your Dragon (2010)

Posted on March 11, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG This film is enjoyable even for adults. Its entertainment at its best. The only low point is the story, I do think it has moral that underlines in a lot of animated films. That moral is what you know … Continue reading →

Wyatt Earp (1994)

Posted on March 6, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 Why does Kevin Costner’s films always last forever? I think I lost interest in this film between Kevin coming on-screen to the last scene. Now, I know we were going through Wyatt Earp’s life and he did have a … Continue reading →

Serenity (2005)

Posted on March 4, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 Not being a Firefly fan, I’ve actually never seen an episode, I rather admired this film. Watching the film, I didn’t feel that I would need to see the TV series to understand what was going on or who … Continue reading →

Lost Horizon (1937)

Posted on February 22, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Although, nothing in this movie stands out as bad, I wasn’t feeling it. It felt long-it was 132 minutes-and none of the characters appealed to me. This film was directed by one of my favorites Frank Capra and … Continue reading →

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 →

Batman Forever (1995)

Posted on February 3, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 I am shocked in learning that this movie was the top grossing film in 1995. Who watched this? Oh, me. I don’t think they should try doing slapstick with comic books. This film reminded me of The Mask, … 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 →

The Far Country (1955)

Posted on January 27, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR The Far Country is another great western starring James Stewart. The writing was excellent in keeping Stewart as an anti-hero for as long as possible. As much as the film was excellent, I kept wondering who Stewart was going … Continue reading →

Posted on January 23, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 When you watch a movie you want a story told to you and hopefully it is a good story. Robin Hood as a story is a good story but this film is not a good story. It lacks … Continue reading →
