Homecoming (1996)
At grandma's
A touching story of a cranky woman who becomes the caretaker of her own grandchildren. Four orphaned children travel to the East coast to find their grandmother who still lives in the house their mother grew up in. After days of being cantankerous to the kids the woman finally accepts them as her own. Bancroft gives a wonderful performance as a woman who can change from solitary to the gift of extending love to others. The changes the children too experience from being lonely to having it all within reach is miraculous. All the memories of their mother come racing back once in the home. It is especially difficult for them since the mother has been diagnosed as catatonic and institutionalized. Grade C+
Summer's End (1999)
Here comes trouble...
Trouble comes in the form of a retired black man, to a small lakeside community. Almost immediately he is confronted by prejudice and hate. Two local brothers then come to terms with their hatred and tolerance over the racial situation. One brother wants to learn more about the man while the other couldn't care less. The movie is narrated by one of the brothers and proudly calls the black man friend. Its interesting to see how two brothers diverge and differ in their feelings even tho they are from the same house. Their mother too has an opinion of her own and in the end the black man is invited to dinner to meet her family and hear what he has to say. Altho the black man decides he can't live in a community that is openly racial, he does decide to give it a chance. Grade C
