Where the Heart Is (2000)

One of the better pictures I've seen in the past month.

[8/10 · 24 July 2001]

My younger daughter (28) brings home all these new pictures from the video store, so I'm getting a view of what the younger people out there are looking at and considering good film's. Being an 'ole fart (61) I know I'm out of touch with what's the latest and the greatest, but I have to tell you most of the flic's she brings home should be thrown in the trash can, what a waste of video tape. And at the price of video tape you can see how much I value these film's. The only other film she brought home in the past month (at the rate of 2 or 3 per week) that was worth a damn was a flic with Sandra Bullock playing an FBI agent in a beauty contest. Man am I sick of all these film's with cheer leaders in them, no story just a bunch of girls running around and then "the end". At least in this film "Where The Heart Is" you get to care about the people in the film, they are kind of like someone you know.

Blast from the Past (1999)

Not a cookie cutter movie.

For once in a long time (that means it's rare) the movies guys down in southern California, have come up with something novel to entertain us with. This is a movie to just enjoy, get the popcorn and have fun.

The Green Mile (1999)

Wow!

If you don't enjoy this movie you're brain dead!!! I have shown this picture to many (anyone I can) and have not found anyone who didn't like it. I have the picture on two tapes because it's so long. While showing it one time I could not find the second tape, for about ten minutes, and thought I was going to lose my life at the hands of those watching.

Desperate Measures (1998)

One long cat and mouse scene.

They give you the set up then bore you to death with a constant cat and mouse chase. The main characters are involved in one constant stand-off where they threaten each other, every five minutes or less. And I'd like to see the police force that would let one of their cops pull off the A. Garcia bit. It's like some local cop walking Charlie Manson out of prison to go get a cup of coffee. Get real!
