Happy Endings (2005)
Improper Title
The movie was had interesting subjects and dynamics but I would not say the timing or momentum was outstanding or properly placed. i felt like a scene or two were cut that would have kept me from replaying parts. Lisa Kudrow, Tom Arnold and Ms Jullianhall had excellent performances but it is tough to follow in places with numerous character dramas and how they interrelate later. I think the movie is misnamed and would have named it "A Somewhat Peaceful Ending."
A Simple Favor (2018)
Excellent Suspense, Perfect touch of realism & comedy
I honestly thought this would be a thriller I would have figured out from the beginning.
It was much more than that, from the awesome upbeat, French music interspersed, to the sheek style and drama that makes a perfect suspense.
The character and personalities were varied, bringing realism full tilt and all the acting superb, including the children. I was amazed in a few parts at the humor and creativity that contributed to the flow and plot in a big way. Clearly, the producing and directing did not cut out the best parts and was top notch.
All I all, I don't want to give anything away in a suspense but it was well worth the price of a movie ticket even though the theatre had very few, found the several hours well spent and entertaining.
Now I am hearing this is based on a true story?
Which would truly amaze me and explain why it is so realistic and awesome.
Stevie Nicks in Concert (1982)
Stevie Nicks Debut & best Concert Ever
This originally aired on debut CBS/Fox Concert was so ethereal, mystical, beautifully haunting that it prompted me to call Stevie Nick's aunt when videos and VCR's only just came out, in order to try to acquire it. I think it was my first video ever and it is STEVIE NICK's debut Bella Donna Concert Tour so it is the most beautiful. She has her most prized songs and ballads intertwined in the most remarkable solo effort ever seen. The glittery robes and gowns, the white dove and white roses...All fit together in the most wonderfully mesmerizing blend of vocals I have seen and heard. It is truly artistically personal and perfect. Her father is even called in her gratitude, she introduces him and you get an insightful glimpse into who Stevie really is, unencumbered by rumors of Fleetwood Mac. If you like Stevie Nicks, you will LOVE her here. RUSS KUNKEL, ROY BITTAN, JIMMY IOVINE, MARTY CALLNER, IRVING IZOFF...MANY BIG NAMES HAD THEIR HANDS IN GETTING HER SOLOS ONTO MTV in those EARLY YEARS and you can see ALL their efforts in this WONDERFUL VHS masterpiece~~
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.: The Hot Number Affair (1967)
Sonny & Cher Just Beginning
I LOVE this episode because it shows Cher true-to-life, showing her initial interest in designing, right when her career in music had just begun to take off. And Sonny, WAY against character, is playing a tailor who is NOT married to her, but he is able to bank his jealousy in a way that makes for quite an interesting and comedic plot, with Cold-War-Russia undertones woven into a unusually styled, dress. This is a definite must for people who are in love with the remarkable TONE of the voice of Cher, as a young star, with their song playing a bit in the background, but tastefully. I like anything with young Sonny & Cher but this is truly a hard to find treasure!
The Man from U.N.C.L.E.: The Suburbia Affair (1967)
Truly Great Scenes from Old Milk Trucks
A little deep with the math and the hiding of a nuclear researcher in suburbia but funny too, with some amazing milk trucks and milk men, from the 60's when they delivered to your door. the chase scenes are pretty good and some people getting sick from fumes in the lights is an interesting spy twist~~ Good segment and so humanly typical of the "Man from U.N.C.L.E" team--like when the other throws out the bread thinking it is a bomb but the partner really ordered a loaf of rye...The lady is such a Leave it To Beaver type woman and that makes it so Brady-Bunchy. I think the older kids of today may have a few good laughs at some of these non-R type scenes. My 8 year-old would laugh and laugh at certain parts. The neighborhood looks an awful lot like the first neighborhood Sonny & Cher lived in before moving into Tony Curtis' place, according to the jackets of their LP's when they got their start: I had to wonder if there was any connection to this film location and them besides the fact that the joint episode on my VHS guest-stars Sonny & Cher, & is titled "The Hot Number Affair."
Bad Ronald (1974)
Disturbed Boy Hiding Behind the Wall of a House
This is one of my FAVORITE movies of ALL-TIME and VERY HARD TO FIND~~It took me about 6 yrs to figure out the title and another week to find it and I paid over $70 for it! The premise is of a young teen who is coddled by a protective mother and teased by peers. So much so that one day he actually has to hide from the outside world and his mom helps him make a living area, behind the pantry, in back of the staircase, unobservable to visitors to the house. But what happens when she dies and he needs to get food and take care of his basic necessities? The Brady Bunch type family moves in and Ronald has drawn artwork on the walls in his cubby, and written a fantasy-novel that shows his romantic feelings but also his mixed-up mind...A GREAT movie to spook you if you live in an old house...and the simple, 70's special effects make this a great thrill, that is not even diminished by it being in black and white.
Hider in the House (1989)
Man Hides in Secret Room in Walls Watching a Family
I LOVED this movie because it reminds me of the plot of "Bad Ronald" and it is a good movie to watch while it is raining and if you have ever been in a secret passage in a house. It is a PLAUSIBLE story as Busey is CLEVER in the things he does to delay and prevent his discovery. If is funny in parts because you see the human side and kindness of a man. And you also see the rage welling up inside and his decline & development to more violent acts. The progression of his childhood at the beginning and his falling through the cracks with the psycho-analysis,makes it particularly interesting from a criminal psychiatry standpoint. The drama is intense, especially when an exterminator sprays his area and nearly kills him! the pace is perfect, as his feelings for the wife develop and he eavesdrops enough to cause trouble for the couple he is observing. Great innocence & love for family shown by Mimi Rogers. Great affectionate but desperation acted by Busey.
Jagged Edge (1985)
Drama That Keeps You Wondering About Character
I LOVED this movie and could not find it for years--thought it was called "The Razor's Edge" (but that was a Bill Murray movie made around the same time). This is exciting and it seemed realistic in the grisly parts and the scenery. It was thought provoking and it made me really wonder if Glenn Close was falling in love with a murderer or if he was truly innocent and earnest, like she hopes. It helped me realize that others struggle with judging a person early on in seemingly dynamic, relationships and I thought Glenn Close and Jeff Bridges played their attraction well, with lots of electricity & sparks they tried to deny, between them. Glenn looks particularly feminine and beautiful in this role and Jeff Bridges looks sexy and handsome and I liked the horseback scene a lot. I LOVE this movie. Close plays drama well and Bridges is also GREAT in these character-flawed angst, roles: "The Vanishing," and "The Fabulous Baker Boys."
