THE OPEN ROAD


The open road was a great movie. My husband even like it LOL...

It's a family story basically about learning what to cherish. The father and mother help their son open his eyes about a relationship he broke up due to "work".

The acting was wonderful and the pace not too fast and not too slow. It gets a thumbs up in my book!

LONG TIME!

I haven't posted for a long time! I've been getting back into the world.

I plan on getting at least one movie reviewed a week maybe more. Just wanted you to know I'm still here!

The reason I started this post is because I had spine surgery 9 months ago. Watching movies kept me sane!

I'm getting better so my work has taken me away from my movie addiction.

I need to remember to relax and movies do that for me so I plan on watching more and telling you about them :)

THE MAIDEN HEIST

I love the actors that were in this movie. Christopher Walker, Morgan Freeman and William Macy are a great team but I thought the movie was just okay.

It's an over done plot that has a couple of fun twists in it but for the most part it was very weak.

I felt sorry for the actors because it looked like they were trying to make this movie work but just couldn't do it.

I'm not sorry I saw it but I wouldn't see it again that's for sure.

MY LEFT FOOT

This was a very good movie. It's a true story about the author and artist Christy Brown.

The acting was good and the story line flowed well. If you're looking for an inspiring story to lift your spirits this one.

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.
