Movie Review: I love this quirky gem of a movie
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw the title of this movie and read the brief description in the tv guide, I thought it was a gothic romance/mystery. Of course it is nothing like that and I have never been so delighted to be disappointed. I love British comedies of manners and this is a gem. As I have seen others say, this one gets better with each watching. I think it's because there are so many wonderful characters and such great dialogue it's just hard to take in at one viewing. I also love the heroine from whom we all can learn a valuable lesson: even in the most drab and unpleasant of circumstances we can change lives by remaining positive and steadfast. Flora learns each person's dreams and helps fulfill them. She isn't discouraged by their initial resentment and distrust but just plugs along, winning their affection and changing their lives for the better.Movie Review: FEEL GOOD MOVIES - REVIEW NR. 1
Summary: 5 Stars
AFTER 81 YEARS, I HAVE DECIDED TO GIVE UP ON THE GREAT DRAMATIC MOVIES THAT PRESENT THE WORLD IN ALL ITS MASSIVE TURMOIL. I GET ALL THAT FROM NEWSPAPERS, PERIODICALS, RADIO, TELEVISIOPN AND NOW, EVEN THE INERNET. I WANT TO WATCH MOVIES THAT I CALL "FEEL GOOD" MOVIES. THESE MOVIES CEMNTER ON A SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE WITH A FEW INSIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS AND THEN, OVER THE COURSE OF AN HOUR OR SO, WORKOUT THE KINKS OF THIER LIVES AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER. THESE MOVIES CAN BE FULL OF PATHOS OR BATHOS OR EVEN SLAP STICK COMDEDY, BUT THEY NEVER PRESENT YOU WITH ANY PROBLEM GREATER THAN HOW TO GET YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW TO BABYSIT THE KIDS BUT NOT MOVE IN WITH YOU...UNLESS YOU WANT HER TO. COLD COMFORT FARM MEETS MY CRITERIA TO BE CLASSIFID AS A "FEEL GOOD" MOVIE.Movie Review: Fantastic Movie!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most delightful movies my husband and I have watched in some time. Kate Beckinsale excels as a near penniless society girl, who has lost her parents and has to choose among several eccentric relatives, with whom to live. She hates things "untidy", and makes it her mission to try to re-do the lives of persons, who in her opinion, need made over. The family of relatives she chooses, their antics, and her attempts at "fixing" their lives is hilarious. This is a must see movie, and if you are concerned about language, there is only one bad word that I noticed, but you might want to hide the children's eyes from one adult situation. Over all a five out of five for us!! We have already watched it at least five times!! Loved it!!Movie Review: An Impossibly Fun Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Kate Beckinsale plays a character very similiar to her title role in "Emma" One wonders if this wasn't her audition for the role of Emma (or vise versa since I don't know which role came first!). Those of you who are familiar with the delightful "Vicar of Dibley" series, will no doubt recognize the actor who plays Ruben.
Stereotype casting of character actors aside, it was a fun movie full of colorful characters and crazy circumstances. Predictable, impossible and moving too fast to be even vaguely contemplated as possibly being within the realm of probability......just let yourself go with the flow and enjoy it.
Definately a highly recommended popcorn movie !!!!! : )
Movie Review: Hilarious!
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this movie once on impulse, and was immediately enamored. I purchased it immediately and it remains one of my favorites.
With "only a hundred a year", but "peculiarly rich" in relatives, Flora Poste writes to her kin in attempt to find support following her parents' deaths. She soon finds herself accepting the invitation of her horrid cousins at Cold Comfort Farm, where dysfunction rules the day.
However, unable to endure a mess, Miss Poste sets about tidying up the least tidy branch of her family tree. Armed with wit, logic, and "A Higher Common Sense", she wins them over and sets things right.
Highly recommended!
