1776 (1972)

Posted on March 28, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG I love musicals. I know they aren’t the most popular of films but I love them and this film is no exception. It’s a film that is factual with a mixture of song. It’s one of those musicals … Continue reading →

Johnny Tremain (1957)

Posted on March 23, 2011 by laurarachel4

A Christmas Carol (2009)

Posted on March 12, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG This is not a children’s animated film. It has a very dark themed story although, the flying scenes are spectacularly done. Robert Zemeckis did try to follow the book but I noticed a couple of times where he went … 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 →

Change of Plans (2011)

Posted on February 4, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Not many films surprise me but this film did. I was thrilled by Brooke White performance, surprisingly. Her lack of refined acting skills is clear but good. I admired the story the adoption storyline but struggled with the … Continue reading →

The Pride of the Yankees (1942)

Posted on January 30, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR This was an outstanding film based on the life of Lou Gehrig. Gary Cooper portrays the Iron Horse to perfection. The love of Lou and his wife, Eleanor was incredible but maybe a little too sugar-coated. This film goes beyond being … Continue reading →

One Christmas (1994)

Posted on January 9, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR One Christmas is an autobiographical story of Truman Capote’s life. This film is not for the weak of heart. It tugs at your heart-strings. Even though, it is a heartfelt Christmas film, I didn’t enjoy it. The characters weren’t intriguing, although, … Continue reading →

A Christmas Snow (2010)

Posted on January 7, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR I loved this story. It’s a beautiful story about a daughter who lost her father and in the end she found Him. Even though, the story is wonderful; it had that placid feel that most christian films have that I … Continue reading →
