Posted on April 16, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR I enjoyed this film. It’s a story that combines the biblical story of Noah’s ark with  a romance in World War 1. At first you may wonder how this can work and at times question how it works but it … Continue reading →

The Pacific (2010)

Posted on April 10, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated TV-MA The Pacific miniseries was produced by the same people who produced Band of Brothers. This should tell you what to expect. It’s a wonderfully produced film. The actors are relatively unknowns which I think help the film. Most critics commented on the … Continue reading →

The Crossing (2000)

Posted on March 26, 2011 by laurarachel4

Rated NR This film made me feel very unpatriotic. I disliked General Washington. I thought him a pompous arse. I never studied Washington enough to get his personality but I always thought of him as quiet reflective man not a man … Continue reading →

Glory (1989)

Posted on November 30, 2010 by laurarachel4

Rated R Although, this film is brilliantly done. The acting, the screenplay and the directing all were brilliantly done. I still kept wanting them to explore more in the area of Colonel Shaw’s discrimination within his community. I know there must have been some … Continue reading →
