Flightplan (2005)
Jodie Foster Does it Again
I cannot say I have been impressed by every one of Jodie Foster's movies but, as an actress, she always delivers. In Flightplan her character, like most of her characters, must rely on her strength and intellect to overcome odds that would overwhelm anyone less than heroic. The movie wasn't bad either. It combined elements of two other movies I enjoyed; The Forgotten, and, Redeye. If you like movies where tension builds all the way up to the end, this one's for you. The only reason Flightplan didn't score a perfect 10 with me is that it was a bit predictable at times. Still, it's a tense, well acted thriller worth watching.
It's My Party (1996)
My all time favorite movie.
There are few movies that can make me literally sob, not just cry. This movie touched my soul. It is a well written story ingeniously casted. Actors including comedian Margaret Cho, former singing sensation Olivia Newton-John, Eric Roberts, Bronson Pinchot, Marlee Matlin, and others may not be "Top Dogs" in Hollywood, but, deliver compelling, heart felt performances that seem to come naturally to them. It's as if the parts they played were written for them. Perfect casting, good direction, and spectacular performances make "It's My Party" a must see film that you will never forget. Rent it, buy it, or borrow it. Just make sure you have some tissues handy.
