GREEN FINGERS


Green Fingers is based on true story. It shares how life just can't be figured out and that it pays off to stick around and see what is around the bend.

The acting was great and the plot wonderful. It was a beautiful movie to watch as well. This is well worth your time.

YESTERDAY


This movie was nominated for an Oscar and an Emmy. I can see why.

The acting was wonderful, simple and real. It takes place in Africa. There are subtitles. I don't mind dealing with subtitles when the acting is great.

It's a sad tale that has positive messages in it.

It's about a mothers struggles to make sure her child has a better future than what she had. I don't want to spill the beans because it will ruin some of the surprises in the movie. I knew nothing about it which I think is a lot more fun.

I really liked this movie!

WILD HEARTS CAN'T BE BROKEN

This is a Disney film so it's a good family movie.

The acting wasn't great but the story line was. It's based off a true story about a young girl that had a dream and refused to let it go despite life's unfairness.

I hate it when reviewers tell too much about the story then the surprise is gone. I won't be doing that in this blog. I'll just give you a brief idea of what the movie is about and my opinion as to the worthiness of spending your time watching it.

I think this one is worth the time. Know that it's not going to WOW you with acting skills though so if that's important to you skip this movie. I like good acting but if the story is there I can get past mediocre performances.

SPACE COWBOYS

I love Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland and James Gardner. They make this movie fun.

The plot is predictable and ordinary so if you're looking for a thrill ride this ain't it but if you like these actors it may be worth your time.

It's the old story about the young bucks against the old timers. It's an astronaut story so be ready for some "space" talk.

I wouldn't pick this one for a night when I really need something to get my teeth into but I didn't hate it either.

FLY AWAY HOME

Fly Away Home is another movie that's based on truth.

It's a great family movie about a young girl who deals with some tough situations with her parents but comes through it stronger than she could have imagined.

I don't want to give away the plot so I'm keeping this description short. Part of the fun of this movie was wondering what was going to happen next. Knowing it was a true situation is amazing.

If you're having a bad day pick up this movie. It will surely cheer you up!

BREAD AND TULIPS

Bread and Tulips is a foreign film. I like having subtitles on the first time I watch all movies so I'm good with subtitles on foreign films.

Foreign films seem to have a different flavor. I find it refreshing. Bread and Tulips is about a woman who is under appreciated by her husband and finds true love during a unplanned holiday she decides to take.

Bread and Tulips has some fun twists and turns. It has some tongue in cheek humor which I found delightful.

If you like foreign films give this one a try. I highly recommend it.
