The New World (2005)
A Beautiful Film
I loved watching this movie. The scenery was amazing! I'm a little bias since some of the movie was shot in and near my home town of Virginia Beach. It's breathtaking, but certainly isn't for people who like movies that have a lot of talking and action. This is a movie for people who like to sit down and enjoy beauty. It's really more of an emotionally driven movie, with the dialogue as an accessory to the story, not the driving force. I loved the way Virginia was shown. It really is a beautiful state. And, of course, everyone knows the story, but to see it again was lovely. I heard a lot of negative things about this movie, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The only criticism I have is that it did drag in some parts. It's a slow paced movie, but it's not too bad. Because of the dragging, I'm only giving it 9 out of 10 stars.
Laws of Attraction (2004)
It was cute.
I liked this movie. I picked it up in the 5 dollar bin at Wal-Mart and was surprised.
If you're looking for an original comedy this isn't the one for you. The plot is predictable, but overall if you want to just see a cute film about goofy love, this isn't half bad. I wouldn't have spent nine dollars on a movie ticket for this one, but 5 dollars at Wal-Mart wasn't bad at all.
I'm giving it a 7 because it was, overall, predictable but cute. Julianne Moore is wonderful and so is Pierce Brosnan and I don't even like him very much. It's a movie that doesn't try to hard to impress. It knows exactly what it is, a romantic comedy and doesn't try to get away from that. Once again, predictable but cute.
Anne of Green Gables (1985)
A timeless movie!!!!
I just recently watched this movie again and all I have to say is this is an amazing movie. I remember watching it on TV when I was younger and I feel in love right then and there!
Megan Follows is a very, very convincing Anne. Now when I read the books I picture her. I watch this movie at least once every three or four months just to be inspired. It's heart warming and a wonderful movie for children and adults alike.
This movie makes you feel like you're there with her experiencing everything with her and growing up along side of her. The locations are breathtaking. The acting is wonderful. The theme is timeless. The movie all in all is fabulous. I never get tired of watching it.
Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story (2000)
Extremely disappointing.
I watched all three of the Anne movies a few days ago and I was once again disappointed with the third movie.
All in all, this is a good movie, but not as an Anne movie. I like this movie. It isn't horrible, but if you're looking for an Anne movie that is actually true to the book and true to Anne's character from the books, you will be disappointed like I was.
The only thing believable in the movie for me was Anne's love and dedication to Gilbert. Other than that, I just couldn't believe most of the stuff in this movie. They took all the integrity out of the original characters and shifted the time line.
I'm not going to give this movie a rating because I liked the movie as a movie, but I didn't enjoy it as an Anne of Green Gables movie. I was disappointed.
Stranger Than Fiction (2006)
Wonderful and fascinating.
I enjoyed this movie to no end. When I first saw the trailer, I thought it would be an OK movie, so I didn't see it. When it came out on DVD, I bought it on a whim and I am very grateful to that whim.
This movie is very inventive on it's take on really living life. When I watched it, it made me appreciate the quirkiness of my own life. It makes you think about how mundane an existence can be and that you shouldn't start to live life after you find out you're going to die. It's deep, but whimsical. It has humor and disguised serious undertones.
I have to say, Will Ferrel surprised me. Most of the time he's playing a mindless character that will do anything for humor and he can be very funny, but other times he can just be crude. This was a wonderful departure for him. I was impressed and look forward to other movies from him.
The performances were stellar, especially from Will Ferrel, Emma Thompson, and Dustin Hoffman. It's a wonderful movies that makes you laugh and think.
