Movies and Movie Stars
There are some movie stars I like, and some movie stars I don’t. What did any movie star ever do to me that I shouldn’t like them?
I love Sean Penn. I think he is a fabulous actor.
Who am I not to like Doris Day?
There are some movies I don’t want to watch because of who is in them.
There are some movie stars I liked once upon a time, and don’t like now.
There are also some movies I don’t want to watch because the title turns me off.
There is a movie called American Gun. Why, I would never want to watch a movie entitled American Gun. And yet I was flipping on TV and came upon the middle of a movie that interested me, and, guess what, it was American Gun. It wasn’t a Western at all. It was a movie about people, and it was quite good. [I just discovered there are two movies with this title. This is the one with James Coburn in it.]
As soon as I see a title like Phatz Girlz, I positively won’t watch it. It hurt me to even type that title. I positively cannot watch a movie with a title like that.
A movie I saw recently and liked a lot was My House in Umbria. I like Maggie Smith, the actress, a lot.
In another vein, I loved Happy Feet.
So that’s my movie review for the day. What’s yours?

Dearest Gloria,
Edward Norton makes me feel annoyed - (I am sure he will be very sorry when he hears that he makes Mrs.Vural feel annoyed )I do not like his movies either but due to my husband's pleasure(!) I watched most of them- I think. (Fight Club - Altough Brat Pitt was in the movie(!), watching it was a real pain for me- and American History X are two of them which I can not forget!!!!)
When I watched American Gun, I was deepley impressed.
Did you see "The Fountain" directed by Darren Aronofsky, staring Rachel Weisz and Hugh Jackman ?
I love this one.
You may be sure I'll look for this movie. I hadn't even heard of it, dear one.
Here is the Wikipedia article about it :

Dear All. One of these days I have to go to the movies, I believe now a days they have Talkies like on T.V. But most T.V. stories bore me. I sooner go and walk on the beach and talk to the sea. On the beach you might even see figures better than Doris Day (whoever she is). I love to read a good book, I can stop when I like and resume when I like.Most books you get now though are full of violence and sex. Well the sex part I can handle specially if love is expressed.I read recently The Fountain Head by Ayn Rand I read it years ago and I found a copy in a second hand shop and enjoyed it again. better than a movie,( my opinion) so don't take any notice and you enjoy your entertainment Love to All
There is nothing like a good book, Jack. I remember The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. Have you read Atlas Shrugged yet? Fabulous book.
Yes, I would walk on the beach and talk to the sea too.
BORROWED THIS CRITIQUE FROM A FRIEND ON ANOTHER SITE. I KNOW SHE WOULDN'T MIND AS SHE WOULD LIKE TO DO REVIEWS AS A PROFESSION...BE PREPARED TO LAUGH AND CRY MUCH! GREAT MOVIE....PEACE AND ALL GOOD, JUDI
A little off the subject
but for anyone feeling like they will never bloom again due to sadness of a loss, May I recommend:
The Movie
P.S. I Love You
A Very Encompassing ‘Masterpiece of Understanding’ about Love, Loss, & Life After Loss.
A little bit of the ‘letting go process’ from both realms possibly …leaving that to the interpretation of the viewer -- It Acknowledges as well as Validates Many of the Thoughts & Emotions Associated with a sudden, puzzling, and youthful love loss; but it also sheds some helpful lights on the feelings associated with abandonment and divorce as well.
It provides some interesting points of call in regards to The Connected and Far Reaching Relationships that Still do Exist in the remaining lives and those Left Behind -- Relationships that still exists with Ones self and Others. And it gives some thoughts on Acceptance and Direction of Choices.
It provides positive role models emulating family, friendship, and most importantly acceptance and fulfillment of duties and obligations without understanding or even agreement – creating the ‘laughter thru tears’ and hysterically funny antidotes we all need when examining the ways, methods, and techniques we develop to survive life -- All without force-feeding any answers.
It is a funny, gentle, loving reminder to all of us -- that we must, can, and will all find the answers (in time) based on our own unique set of circumstances, beliefs, and lives.
