Movie Reviews of A Walk on the Moon
Movie Review: A Walk On The Moon Is Superb Entertainment!
Summary: 5 Stars
Caught this movie on a recent Sunday afternoon on STARZ and thought it was excellent. I am a MAJOR Diane Lane fan since her appearance so long ago in A Little Romance which is in my top 25. This is great entertainment and she is cast as a bored housewife who hooks up with that way too HOT Viggo Mortensen. I guess this must have been a sleeper when it was released to theatres because I never heard of the film until recently. Viggo plays the usual "homewrecker", but in this case, with a little more heart. When Diane's son is stung by hornets later in the film, Viggo comes thru and eases the friction between Diane, her husband, and Viggo. If you're looking for something to make you glad there are good films out there, pick this up. Highly recommended!Movie Review: Refreshing
Summary: 5 Stars
How refreshing to see a film that is not filled with stereotypes and cliches. There were many moments in the film when I was pleasantly surprised by the actions of the characters. One is when the mother-in-law, in a conversation with her daughter-in-law (Lane), reveals that she knows what Pearl has been up to. She treats Pearl with much understanding rather than attacking her (which is what one might expect). Another such moment is when Pearl's husband comes face to face with her lover during a family crisis. I was waiting for a fight and it (thankfully) didn't happen. I really love movies that surprise me by unexpected actions, that are completely plausable. This is a very rich story, with interesting, sympathetic characters.Movie Review: Excellent movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for a friend, thinking that she would love it as much as I...and, of course, she did!
This is an earlier movie for all three of the major stars...Diane Lane, Viggo Mortensen, and Liev Schreiber (1999).
Diane Lane, the actress that needs no words...because her face tells it all...is superb in this film. The decisions that she faces during the period in her life that is portrayed are very real and hit close to home with many viewers.
Viggo Mortensen and Liev Schreiber are both also excellent in this movie, but the core of the story really revolves around Diane and the life decisions that she must make.
Again...EXCELLENT MOVIE!
Movie Review: A very enjoyable movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie reminded me of an old Joan Fontaine movie, Frenchman's Creek. It's based on the Daphne Du Maurier novel of the same name and was remade by PBS a few years ago for Masterpiece Theater. In the story, a noblewoman is at her summer home with her children while her husband is off tending to court matters. She becomes involved with a pirate and eventually has to choose between her family and a life of adventure with the handsome and free pirate.
A Walk on the Moon was so similar I'm convinced the writer was inspired by Du Maurier's story. All of the perfomances were fantastic, and Diane Lane effectively conveys the angst of having to choose between adventure and security.
Movie Review: A great film with a great actress in DIANE LANE
Summary: 5 Stars
A great film with a great actress in DIANE LANEThis is one of the most powerful and thought-provoking films that I have seen in ages. The acting by Oscar nominee DIANE LANE (Under The Tuscan Sun, Unfaithful, Perfect Storm) is magical and she deservedly won a Golden Globe and Oscar nom for her performance in this great movie. It is so well made and so well observed. The story is very good and there are several powerful moments and some very touching bits too. I loved this film and felt that it passed the two hours so well and nicely. This is a great movie with the great DIANE LANE in great form. A brilliant movie that is sooo cool and so amazing. Just right!
