Frankenstein (1931)

Posted on April 20, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR To me and many others this is a true Frankenstein story. The film was based on the play by  Peggy Webling  which in turn was based on the novel by Mary Shelley. The film doesn’t follow the book very much … Continue reading →

Remember the Titans (2000)

Posted on April 7, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG This is an excellent feel good movie. I did struggle with the lack of story behind the friendship of Herman Boone and Bill Yoast. I would have liked them to dive deeper into that story than on the … Continue reading →

Johnny Mnemonic (1995)

Posted on April 1, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated R This film is confusing. It’s confusing because it doesn’t explain what is going on until half way though the film. We have no idea why these people are chasing each other or why or what Johnny has in … Continue reading →

Predators (2010)

Posted on March 29, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated R I will say this about the film; If this film came out before the 1987 version, it would be a hit but it didn’t. It had the makings of the original with a few missing pieces. The story missed … Continue reading →

No Ordinary Family (ABC)

Posted on March 21, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR Missing Heroes this show is for you. I am not a fan of superhero shows. I don’t really get them but this show entertains. I marveled at the writing and it’s family style narrative. The actors all do … Continue reading →

Secretariat (2010)

Posted on March 17, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG If there is ever a horse that needs a movie Secretariat is it but this film lacked the energy and suspense that the horse gave. I was bored and yawned throughout the film. As this film was coin … Continue reading →

Splice (2009)

Posted on March 16, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated R What I learned from this film-If your boss tells you to stop working on a project, you stop don’t continue it will be disastrous. This film made me listen to my elders and superiors. Oh, and to also not … 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 →

Chain Reaction (1996)

Posted on February 14, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated PG-13 Chain Reaction is an exciting action film but the narrative was chaotic. It is a typical action film with wonderful chase scenes and good explosions. The story isn’t original and not rememberable. The acting is equally overrated. It’s … Continue reading →
