Still Breathing (1997)
Excellent Move
I was channel surfing one Saturday afternoon in '05 and fell into the last half of this film. I was hooked! I called a store manager of Blockbuster to help me find this movie for purchase in all their stores back in '05 and she had one VHS left on the sales shelf. There are no more reprints of this for retail sale unfortunately. After watching the movie in its entirety, it was heartwarming. Truly a 'feel good' movie to cheer you up. This movie is beautifully done. The scenes and story line just flows wonderfully to blend into a great story line. Excellent direction from beginning to end. Finally, a movie with a great ending! Joanna Going and Brendan Fraiser are great together. It's one of my favorites. It touches the heartstrings. It may see like a chic-flick but guys would enjoy this too. The mystery and comedic aspects throughout make it lightheartedly touching to watch. The whole concept of how to find your true love has always been a mystery. This movie touches upon that. If only men do find their true love this way it would make a great reality-TV series. (LOL) The SOUNDTRACK is excellent. It's a shame they stopped printing this movie for retail sale. (http://stillbreathing.com/) They really should re-release this and sell more of the DVDs (at a reasonable price). It's too excellent of a movie to sit on a shelf or sell on the streets. Now and then cable movie channels air this but it's rare. If you get an opportunity to watch this movie, it is indeed, a true treasure of a film. I highly recommend it.
Back to You and Me (2005)
Now that Lisa Hartman made this come back, will there be more?
It was good to see Lisa Hartman play a role again and back on TV. Although this role as Syd Ludwig didn't challenge her enough, in my opinion. Not sure if it was the weak direction or story line that made every scene somewhat cut and dry rather than flow smoothly into the next scene. It seemed each scene was done, then commercial break, then the next scene, etc. She should make more movies again and get back in the game to master her craft. She's in great fantastic shape and beautiful as ever. She has great TV chemistry with Dale Midkaff (Dale is great in all his films). They're great together in this movie. How does she fit in those tiny jeans!!?? Hope another film is in the works. She's beautiful to watch and a great person at heart as same with Dale. After the promotion of her come back to TV, will there be more? Things have been silent since this film.
