Movie Reviews of Michael (Snap Case)
Movie Review: Twisted but Good (The Movie and the Angel)
Summary: 4 Stars
When a couple of staff writers for a tabloid news-rag get a tip about an angel living in small town motel, they set off to see if they can scrape a story out of it. They are accompanied by a woman their editor tells them is an expert on angels. The truth is that none of them know anything about angels but nobody expects that to be a problem because none of them expect to meet an angel.
What they meet does not meet their expectations either. They see a guy who is a beer guzzling lazy slob. The only angelic thing about him is that he does have a large pair of wings. As far as anyone can tell, they are genuine. That means, angel or not, there is a scoop to be had for the tabloid. All they have to do is get the winged man safely back to HQ for photos.
As they make their way across the country, some very odd things happen. One would almost call them miracles. In time, the reporters begin to believe that they are traveling with a real angel.
They are and the angel has something on his agenda besides posing for a few pictures. In fact he has several things on his agenda and nothing is going to stop him from getting them done. That will not stop him from have as good a time as possible along the way, however. And wings seem to really be chick magnets.
This is a fun comedy. It is much better than my low expectations led me to believe it would be. It was fun and inlightening.
Movie Review: Michael, a man' type of angel
Summary: 4 Stars
OK. So it wasn't a stunningly brilliant movie, but it was funny and hooks you.
John Travolta dons the Michael, Archangel garb and wears it the whole movie. Travolta doesn't seem to mind looking worn and out of shape nor does he act like we would expect an angel to act. But that's all right because it creates more humor down the road. William Hurt, Andie MacDowell, and Robert Pastorelli are, at first bemused as the scandal-rag reporters in tow with him then they are startled to find themselves believing that he might be who he claims to be. This causes them to re-think how they feel about each other.
Their trip together back to Chicago doesn't goes as easy as they thought, but Michael seems to have no problem with their diversions. Whatever trouble he gets them into seems expected by him and over with soon enough.
The real story is what does he have planned for the rest of the group. Pretty much formulaic, Nora Ephron directs with a sly touch and delivers a wonderful movie to pass the time with. Though the roles seem small Jean Stapleton and Bob Hoskins have a great time fleshing their characters out and playing them with relish.
Movie Review: If Angels Had Feathers
Summary: 4 Stars
Saw the movie preview for this, missed it at the theater, this was enjoyable fantasy. My wife and I enjoyed and smiled a while, the feathered wings, and the road trip to Chicago, including the visit to the largest ball of string. We could identify with the scenes, having cruised all over Illinois, small towns. I enjoyed the part where Michael said he smote the bank. A fine word, smite, smote. Wish you could do THAT. Worth the money, will watch it again.Movie Review: Where's the Wide Screen Version?
Summary: 4 Stars
Michael is a fantastic, funny, uplifting movie that everyone should see. All the characters are perfectly portrayed.
The only request I would make (hence the 4 stars instead of 5) is that it be released in wide screen. There are some scenes that are beautifully crafted on film, but are lost in the reformatted version.
Movie Review: Fun and well acted
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very fun movie and it's done with comedic feel that works overtime. It's a feel good movie that most can relate to. I enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone that needs to laugh more, thats most everyone! John Travolta did it again.
