After the Thin Man (1936)

Posted on March 24, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR This film is very entertaining, even though you can figure out whodunit, it keeps you engrossed in the story.  The actors all did a wonderful job with their portrayal, especially James Stewart. This was one of Jimmy Stewart’s … Continue reading →

Wuthering Heights (1985)

Posted on March 18, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR The actors  performances were the worst I have ever seen. They were so over dramatic, too precise, and too stale, there was no heart into any of them. Every movement looked forced. The only performance I did enjoy was … 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 →

The Final Inquiry (2007)

Posted on January 21, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 I admired this story but it lack in the storytelling. I was confused about what time and where we were in the story throughout the film. It also lack in the historical accuracy department. This is moreover not, I … Continue reading →

The Langoliers (1995)

Posted on January 16, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 I’m always amazing at filmmakers who can take a short story and make it into a movie. Especially when that movie is a mini-series. This film was based on a Stephen King’s novella called Four Passed Midnight. While I … Continue reading →

Snake Eyes (1998)

Posted on November 18, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R I enjoyed this film, not because it was a good film but because Brian De Palma plays with the camera.  If you have ever seen Brian’s films you know he loves to move the camera around and the usage of the … Continue reading →

In the Mouth of Madness (1994)

Posted on October 22, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R This isn’t a great horror film, it isn’t even a good horror film. I’m not really John Carpenter fan but I will say this I loved his camera work. The angles he got, the lighting he use-fantastic. Better … Continue reading →

Holes (2003)

Posted on October 20, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated PG For years I have put off watching this film. I was always not in the mood for a cheesy children’s flick. After watching this, I was wrong. It isn’t a cheesy children’s flick, it’s a remarkable story based on the book … Continue reading →

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009)

Posted on October 7, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R Wow, amazing, well done. Not having read the book I wasn’t sure what to expect with the movie and since it was done by Swedish filmmakers I wasn’t even sure if they would do the book justice. They did. The filmmakers kept … Continue reading →

Ringu 2 (1999)

Posted on September 8, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated NR The Japanese are notorious for their horror films and this film is no exception. This is the sequel to the first Ringu. Of course the U.S. remade the films to some success. I have seen Ringu and the … Continue reading →
