Home Free (1993)
one (of many) short-lived sit-coms
Someone in power should take 4 or 5 of these great "one season" sit-coms and put all 4 or 5 of them into syndication to fill up one slot !! These great short lived sit-coms are not even considered by any network as "sellable". They say that they won't buy less than 100 episodes (5 years of production) for syndication. BULL-HOCKEY !! They need to think of the consumer...Not their bank account. They could buy 5, 1-season sit-coms for very cheap (because no network is bold enough to give these sit-coms back to us in this format). "Free Spirit" was another good one (with Corine Borer & Allison Hanigan (?))...I'm lucky, I have them on VHS!! "Phenom" with William Devane, Ashley Johnson.... "Out Of This World" with Maureen Flanigan, Emmily Schullman.....THERE!!! That should be enough to get the 'big-wigs' going !!
Homecoming (1996)
If you have a soft heart, it's a 'must see'.
I love movies like this, that show how strong & willing parentless children can be to do the right thing, to keep the 'family' together ! Knowing that they are 'just' kids, and trying to find a responsible adult to help raise them (especially the younger ones) was the only choice they had.
If you liked it as much as I did, then you gotta see "Manny & Lo" (with Mary Kay Place) and "A Home Of Our Own" (with Kathy Bates).
I give this movie 3 out of 4 stars. Great cast, excellent plot, but somewhat sluggish.
"Go Anne Bancroft, Go !!"
Fiddler on the Roof (1971)
FANTASTIC !!!!
I just fell in love with Tevye (played by Topol). For him to allow his only known way of life ('Tradition') to change out of love for his daughters shows the true unconditional love we all should have for one another.
I have the LP sound track to the movie and I jam on it just like my rock & roll. This movie definitely deserves the highest rating possible !!
Manny & Lo (1996)
A female version of my male adolescense
How 2 youngsters dealt with a traumatic situation, alone, 'till they thought it was beyond their control. To resort to kidnapping! (Kidnapee or kidnapper ?)I identify with Manny because she thinks for herself with subtle conclusions, knowing what's right disspite. I identify with Elaine because when I grew up I ended up alone. And Lo 'is' my brother (For how he took care of me at that age) I've been a movie buff for 29 years (since I was 10), and "Manny & Lo" is on the top of my list!!!!! Thank you Scarlett, Aleksa, & Marry Kay....Thank you.
