Here are some more of my "Favs and Blahs" (movie picks) that I describe in the short sentences known in the TV biz as "choppy copy." I also used plus signs on a scale of 1 to 5 to show my personal ratings. Let me know if you have seen any of these movies and tell me YOUR opinion.
Lars and the Real Girl PG-13 ****
"Extraordinary love story...and by that I mean love of, and for, our fellow man. Not at all what reviews would lead you to expect. Ryan Gosling is superb. You will be rewarded by this feel good movie."
The Painted Veil PG-13 *****
"I love stories and W. Somerset Maugham is a first-class storyteller. The 'twists and turns' are marvelous and will leave you, as I was, completely captivated. A must see!"
Click PG-13 **
"Terrible waste of time and it isn't funny...don't bother."
Red Eye PG-13 ***
"Suspend reality for an hour or so, then buckle up for a see-saw ride! This is when turbulence can be fun!"
Strictly Ballroom PG ***
"Okay dance fans...strictly speaking, this is a hugely tangled tango - highly predictable but great fun too!"
I Am David PG ****
"No sexual content, no foul language - what a concept. Made by Walden Media this is an excellent, heartwarming film and I recommend it highly."
Eight Below PG ***
"Good Old fashioned tale of animals vs. the environment. Longish, but engrossing enough to keep your interest."
Return to Snowy River PG ***
"...has a plot that's been rode hard but the scenery is drop dead gorgeous and, in the end, our hero gets the horse and the girl!"
The Snow Walker PG ****
"Great survival story. While marooned in the wilderness, cocky pilot learns many life lessons. Made me cry."
Impromptu PG-13 ****
"If you love period pieces, this is a must see. Loved Judy Davis striding about. Hugh Grant perfect as the sickly Chopin."
Dan in Real Life PG-13 ***
"Dan is someone I'd like to get to know in real life! Ending a little weak but don't let that keep you from quite a charming movie."
Just Like Heaven PG-13 ***
"Doesn't compare to 'GHOST,' of course, but very cute and easy to watch."
Rabbit-Proof Fence PG ****
"I enjoyed the spirit of the story, that courage, determination and strength prevail over almost inconceivable odds."

I enjoyed reading about what you've been watching! I also thought JUST LIKE HEAVEN was cute. My children liked EIGHT BELOW but I haven't caught up with it yet. I'll have to add that to my "To Be Watched" list. :)
I'm glad to know you enjoyed THE COWBOY AND THE LADY!
Best wishes,
Laura
Thank you Laura, for checking out my movie list! I really enjoy reading your reviews of movies from the 30's, 40's and 50's!
I have only heard of one movie. The Man from Snowy River. That is an excellent movie.
I'll have to check out the rest.
Happy Tuesday!
Melissa

Thank you Jillian! There is one other movie that I would recommend to you that is not on the list is called, "Into the Wild." Very, very good movie and a true story!
