Movie Reviews of Moonlight and Valentino
Movie Review: Can you say Drama?
Summary: 4 Stars
In the first like half hour of this movie, you will be doing more crying then you have in the past week! In order for the movie to make sense it has to be that way, but i was shocked at how 'depressing' that first half hour WAS....don't worry it gets ALOT better after that though.
Jovi is in the movie long enough for you to know he's in it, but not long enough that they really make a big deal about him being in it.
Really worth seeing a few times, but it probably won't be a movie that you watch all the time. just a heads up. good addition though.
Movie Review: It's a movie you'll remember for the rest of your life!
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this movie even tho I went thru a box of kleenex watching it! A very good enactment of the grieving process onegoes thru when losing a loved one so unexpectedly. I wanted to
give Elizabeth Perkins a hug and tell her to "hang in there" that things would get better but Gwyneth Paltrow, Whoopi Goldberg, Kathleen Turner, did it for me! And I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that John Bon Jovi could act! He should do more films, he's good! Not to mention very pleasant to look at! I loved the soundtrack too.
Movie Review: What Women Do
Summary: 4 Stars
Women mark time and changes in their lives in unique ways. These women represent all 'stages' of womanhood. Well done. I loved the way the women all made movement forward in the telling of this story. Tells several stories in an engaging way.Movie Review: Jon Bon Jovi
Summary: 3 Stars
Need I say more??? Seriously, while expecting quite a bit more from the story line(s) combined with the talent involved, for some reason this movie stuck with me over the years. Honestly, I figured JBJ would be the flat, tiresome, gratuitous "piece" in this movie & was only in it to get some exposure (so to speak) & actually physically rolled my eyes when I saw he was in it. And this is coming from a long time Bon Jovi fan -- love him! -- so that attitude was completely looking at it from a "bet he can't act" standpoint. And was subsequently shot down. Eye candy aside, JBJ was probably what kept this movie alive & I still just like it. Never an Oscar contender, but it was -- lack of several resolutions aside -- a nice little flick. Elizabeth Perkins, however, has not turned in a dynamic or raw performance to date, but perhaps she is cast specifically for her internalization method, if that's what it truly is. Sometimes I would rather watch that reserved demeanor than the hysterical, energy-draining overacting so many "actresses" (and "actors", to be sure) muster up. I think, in fact, my energy -- physically & emotionally -- would be drained were I in her shoes & perhaps that was the director's take on the character & who better to play it?. Who knows for sure... but hey -- Jon Bon Jovi -- way to go! :)Movie Review: What on earth?
Summary: 3 Stars
Throwing together famous names does not a good movie make! This I had to learn the hard way after giving up nearly two hours to sit through this snooze-fest. Elizabeth Perkins is so unbelievable as a grieving widow that you'll be hard pressed to find sympathy for her. Ms. Paltrow was lucky to have boned up on her acting skills AFTER making this film since her role as the self-absorbed younger sister did nothing for her career. Whoopie Goldberg and Kathleen Turner spend their time as if they've arrived on the wrong movie set and are looking for where to go. I have no idea whether I was supposed to laugh out loud or turn the DVD player off completely by the time the foursome painted their faces and did a circle of prayer in the cemetery. This was so ridiculous that the only thing that topped it was the "rain" that poured down on them upon their awakening! The reason I gave this movie three stars was because Jon Bon Jovi does a nice job in his movie debut playing the house painter whose rear end gets more respect than this entire film should have gotten!
