Welcome to Collinwood (2002)
Completely Surprised
The main reason I wanted to see this movie was because of the wonderful cast. A ton of my favorite actors in one movie equals amazing with out actually seeing it. But this movie caught me off guard. It wasn't what I was expecting at all. It's been a while since I've seen it but I do remember I could not stop laughing!!! And it wasn't just the cast that did it for me. The script was amazingly written. Every time you were expecting something to happen it didn't happen. There were so many twists and turns but it fit with the whole tone of the movie instead of coming off as pretentious. The cinematography, along with the set, was absolutely beautiful as well. I really can't say anything bad about this movie! Expcept, I would have Andrew Davoli a little more screen time!
If These Walls Could Talk (1996)
Hard to summarize in one line (may contain spoilers)
This movie made me look at everything. And I find that it was neither for Abortion or against it. I think it was just trying to educate us. Show us what it would have been like in different times; to show us the difference. This is not a topic I ever really felt to strongly about. I think it's your choice. But this movie presented it from every angle.
I'll start with the 1952 segment. Now, some scenes in this one I found hard to watch. That goes without saying. The end I found very gruesome. It's so hard to believe the lengths some women would go to. But I guess I kind of understand why she do something like that. And Demi Moore. Her performance blew me away! I'm really not a big Demi Moore fan, but she was just so amazing in this.
Now the 1974 segment didn't really show too much. It just didn't really make me think about her situation and pity her. I know people that had been in a worse position and ended up having 7 kids. I just couldn't sympathize for her. I know she ended up keeping the baby and that was a good decision, but I really didn't feel for Sissy Spacek's character much at all.
SPOILERS!!!
Now the 1996 segment was just brilliant! Cher did an amazing job! Anne Heche did and amazing job! Matthew Lillard did and amazing job! Everything was just so amazing! A lot of you may not know it, but the guy who shoots Cher at the end was actually Matthew Lillard. He did a great job. Sure all he had to do was go in shoot her and leave, but he was great. And Cher, wow. She was really believable. And when Anne Heche is holding her in her arms... Just blew me away.
This movie really made me think. And something everyone needs. But I do have to say that it is not for the faint of heart.
