Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Last night I did watch Who framed Roger Rabbit? I've seen the movie twice. This is a great piece of animation and live action. This is however, not a film for children. It is enjoyable and gets silly at times. I find Roger to be annoying, but Jessica was the bomb. I also watched an Anime film that is definitely only for adults. Private Pyscho Lessons, this animated film is filled with sex. I'm gonna try to watch something tonight as long as power holds up. I don't think I'll watch The Perfect Storm since they are calling Katrina the perfect storm. Nature can be so beautiful and so destructive at the same time.

Something the Lord made

Something the Lord made is a powerful film based on the true story of Vivien Thomas and Dr. Alfred Balock. The two got together to form the first heart surgery. Vivien, who got his name because his mother was sure she was going to have a girl. Was the son of a carpenter and he took up the trade, but he and his father had high expectations. Vivien wanted to become a doctor. He married young and started a family once he got a job assisting Dr. Balock and later moved at the doctor's request to work with him at John Hopkins. Although the film probably sugar coated things a bit, I'm sure the struggle was a tough one. This is a touching film that many can relate to. We all have obstacles in our lives. It is up to us to push them out of the way. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.

Clara's Heart

For most of you, Dougie Howser was your first glimpse of Neil Patrick Harris, but it was Clara's Heart with Whoopi Goldberg, Kathleen Quinlan and Michael Ontkean that introduced us to this young actor. The film is about love, neglect, adolescence and learning to be happy. It's a slow moving film, but it does hold your interest. Tonight I will watch Who framed Roger Rabbit or Dancing at the Blue Iguana. Thanks for stopping by, keep an open mind.

Vera Drake

The world is filled with hustlers, cons, theives and politicians trying to get something for nothing. The Grifters is that sort of film. This film, directed by Stephen Frear stars, Angelica Huston, John Cusack and Annette Bening. It's not a bad film and the performances are good. Lots of nudity on the part of Miss Bening. If you haven't seen this film, give it a look see.

Vera Drake,Wow! This film is incredible. We all have our views on whether or not a fetus is a living human being or not. We all have different views on keeping secrets from people we care about. In Vera Dra.ke we find a woman who from her own personal experiences, decides to help young girls out. I don't want to give any of the film away so you're gonna have to watch this one. It may stir some emotions, but that's the beauty of film. Give it a look see, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.

Movie recommendations

Here are some film recommendations if you're looking for something to help you past the time or to make you think. Get Real a high school student deals with being gay. Barbershop, known as the black man's social club, conversation, deals, betrayal and fun make this an interesting film. Part 2 is worth a look. Bent, two men deal with lies, death, love, sex, and betrayal inside a Nazi concentration camp. Clive Owen, Ian McKellan, Lothaire Bluteau and Mick Jagger star. The Prince of Egypt, one of my favorite animated films, which tells the story of Moses. The animation is spectacular. Eldorado is another excellent tale. Check them out if you get a chance. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.

The Sea Inside

I watched this film starring Javier Bardem, which is based on a true story. This is not a film I would have bought for my collection. It was a good film and quite educational. I am so glad I did not have to go through this. The film deals with a person's right to die. Ramon Sampedro was the first Spaniard to fight for his right to die with dignity. It was a 30 year campaign that was not acknowledged by the court. He got a group of friends together and they set everything up. Sort of like the Event except there was no party and he died alone, by using cyanide. Death and the right to die is another issue that the church always seems to step in and then the government doesn't want to seem like a rebel so they don't want to do the wrong thing. We as a people are slowly losing our rights. This is a tear jerker for those of you that get emotional. If you've ever been in a position to take care of someone that is ill or feel you might be in that position, I highly recommend this film. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.

Lord of the Flies

I wrote the wrong name of the author of Lord of the Flies. It is Sir William Golding. I was thinking about something else I guess. it happens.
