Movie Reviews of More Tales of the City
Movie Review: Continuation of the Wonderful Tales of the City
Summary: 5 Stars
Again, you have the warmth, laughter and wonderful characters from "Tales" coming back into the second installment. I am sorry there weren't more of the original actors from the original PBS series, but we have the pleasure of seeing Olympia Dukakis, Barbara Garrick, Laura Linney, and Thomas Gibson returning in their respective roles. This installment shows the influence Alfred Hitchcock had on Armistead Maupin's work; part romance, part mystery, with many scenes that will leave an indelible impression. Who will ever forget the meaning of "Transubstantiation" or the macabre scene in the church? I imagined the blue-haired ladies fainting in their pews if such an appendage were to seemingly fall from the sky and plop onto the altar...it's also a rather campy commentary on the church that Maupin slyly slips in. And once again, Mr. Maupin makes another Alfred Hitchcockish appearance in this film.
The actors do a great job, even the ones who replaced Mona and Michael Tolliver. I highly recommend this DVD.
Movie Review: Motherhood can be a camp
Summary: 5 Stars
This series has something for everybody, a touch of Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf,Alfred Hitchcock and It is so off beat as to bring a cool wind of refreshing truth to the dull a gray everyday life we all lead for the most part And the Grandmother is to die for, she had me rolling in the isles. Warning it is definite "R" rated, but even the "R" rated scenes are professionally incorporated into the story to make it flow and not for their shock or peeping tom value.Your life will be enriched if you join this coterie of misfits and their adventures in every day living. Don't mistake this for a Soap Opera, though it uses some of the shell silhouette characters but does them better with more life. The people are real, have physical and emptional blemishes which enriches the belief in the reader. Get This Video set, you will never regret it.Movie Review: Gets Better And Better

Movie Review: A Beautiful Series - A must have
Summary: 5 Stars
I had always heard of this series from Showtime. Then I finally got a chance to watch the series. I figured I would watch one episode a night. The first episode was so good that I watched the second, third and before I knew it I had watched both discs. This is a great value, very captivating series. I loved every episode and I could easily watch all the episodes again!
