The Notebook is the perfect night in!

Advantages: Great story-line , beautiful love tale.
Disadvantages: Bound to have you crying!

The Notebook is one of the best Romantic , Tear Jerkers that i have watched. From the begging to the end you are captuated in a tragic love tale, and are sure to come out at the end of it sobbing madly! The film, although sad has a beautiful story line where true love always come through. You instantly fall in love with the characters and the soundtrack helps create atmosphere! The story, although at first seems quite straightforward, ends with ...

This Adaptation Is Endless Softcore Nonsense

Advantages: The title song, it launched the careers 2 big stars
Disadvantages: Dreadful adaptation of a great novel, laughable love scenes, horrible performances

************************************************************* TITLE: endless love RATING: No Stars CAST: Brooke Shields, Martin Hewitt, Shirley Knight, Don Murray, Beatrice Straight, Richard Kiley, James Spader, Ian Zeiring, Penelope Milford, Jan Miner, Salem Ludwig, Leon B.

...that the film version of ENDLESS LOVE isn't in the same league. Scott Spencer's novel is about first love being destroyed, though its not so much about the love between two teenagers as it is about obsession. The book is told completely from David's point-of-view, and we don't really meet Jade until two thirds of the book is read. In summary, the story is this: we meet David right after he is banished from the Butterfield home because Jade's father ...

Memmmmmmmmmmoriessss...

Advantages: Robert. Robert, HUBBA HUBBA Robert
Disadvantages: Sorry, none...

...will put my hands in the air and admit that I am fickle and would enjoy this film even if the story were dire and torturous. I simply defy any woman to watch this 114 minute film, and more specifically watch and ogle Hubbell Gardner (a young Robert Redford. Swoon - God certainly outdid himself with this one) and not just love this movie because, well – we’re women and this is one of the perks! However, the movie itself was surprisingly good, or no, ...
...of Africa and MANY more). The movie was made in 1973 (though is set in 30’s to 50’s), and tells the story of the rocky relationship between conservative writer Hubbell Gardner (Hubba Hubba Redford) and Katie Morosky, K K K K Kikki (Streisand) an intense (this may be an understatement) political activist. They go to the same college. He, of course, is popular, an intelligent ‘jock’ but sensitive too and she is on the opposite spectrum, not too popular ...

Bean 'n Gone

Advantages: Disc would make a nice Frisbee
Disadvantages: Too many to count.

...and since this, I wonder? Jack (Costello) gets a job babysitting a young prodigy-cum-brat, and Abbott plays his manager. The prodigy-cum-brat is basically a… well… brat. In an attempt to settle the boy down, Jack reads the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. We leave their black and white world and, very ‘Wizard of Oz’ like, we appear in a colourful world where Jack lives with his mother. The story is pretty much the fairy tale story that everyone ...
...the gist? However, when Jack starts to climb the beanstalk, along with Abbott – who plays a butcher (Jack swapped his cow for the beans with the butcher – was basically conned, but the giant takes the cow and Abbott wants it back; plus the giant has a goose that lays golden eggs… added incentive for Abbott), the village below bursts into song. This surprised me somewhat as I did not expect that. A bit of ‘filling in,’ I suspected at the time. But ...

Review of Jack And The Beanstalk - The Real Story (DVD)

Incredible

Advantages: Everything, Storyline, soundtrack, actors,
Disadvantages: Only 10 episodes, some special effects are now a bit dated but mostly fine.

I've loved Band of Brothers since it came out years ago. Each of the episodes has something special about it. Each episode is an hour long and almost like a mini film. The whole experience is incredibly cinematic and for anybody who loved "Saving Private Ryan" etc... this will be ideal. I've watched this series a few times and each time it is enjoyable. The cast is huge and not one performance disappoints. Damien Lewis carries the series well. I've ...
...is enhanced and even more enjoyable. The special effects can be dated if you look closely but on the whole are incredible. It would take an essay to describe everything a thing is good about this series. I'll finish by saying I've recommended this series to many people and nobody has regretted watching it. ...
