Movie Review: The Great James Garner, and Lovely Julie Andrews
Summary: 5 Stars
One Special Night
A very moving movie with James Garner and Julie Andrews. They make a great pair.James Garner found his serious side in this movie, I am used to him cracking jokes. If I thought he was a great actor before, after seeing this movie, he is great in all aspects of acting. I really believe he can do any kind of show he wants and come out on top. One of the top performers in my opinion. Julie Andrews was at her best in this one,she is a great actress but she really outdid herself in this one. This is a very heartwarming show, witch can make you cry, laugh and just plain feel good inside. I can understand how he felt with his kids being so concerned about him, with his wife in rest home suffering from Alzheimer's and the terrible sadness that goes along with seeing a loved one suffer so long. Julie Andrew as a pediatric cardiologists. A very touching movie. It has it all, sadness, a life that is full of health issues, laughs, and love. What more could a person want in a movie.
This is tops on my list of movies to own. We watch it over and over.
A classic.

Movie Review: A Blessing
Summary: 5 Stars
What I love about this movie is that it is so personal (although I shouldn't assume to know): the peanut butter by the bed, her harsh depiction of herself as a child, her description of painting and her love of trees, her beliefs in what men and woman actually are (human beings), her praying for another child and God's answer, the perception of her as "mascaline" stemming from her intelligence and strong will, her concern about how people perceive her, the Channel perfume. I thank her for her vulnerability.
A scene I find most moving is her berating herself in bed, at night, alone. Well, that and her at the hospital, listening to him say that he was at the restaurant and the looks crossing her face as her emotions fluctuate from surprise, to distrust, to disgust, and finally to that sadness which is uniquely hers. Constantly cheering people up may have its rewards, but one must imagine the loneliness.
She and Jim obviously enjoy each other very much making the banter between them perfect. This movie is a keeper which people, little and big, will enjoy. It makes a great holiday tradition.
Movie Review: One Special Night

One Special Night
This is a wonderful movie about two people who learn to love again. Katherine Howard is a pediatric cardiologist who lost her husband to cancer a year ago. She is headstrong and wants to do everything herself. Robert Woodward is a father and grandfather who's wife has altzhiemers. He is stubborn and believes women need to be taken care of because they can't do things themselves. The two meet Thanksgiving night at the hospice facility where his wife now lives and where her husband used to. Because of a big storm Robert is unable to get a cab so Katherine offers him a ride home. On the way her car hits a patch of ice and goes off the road. Stranded they manage to find an empty cabin where they find shelter for the night. Throughout the long snowy night the two get to know each other and find that they have more in common than they thought.The movie shows that first impressions aren't always what they seem.
Movie Review: A little treasure, perfect for a snowy winter day!
Summary: 5 Stars
What an unexpected little gem of a film. Julie Andrews took my breath away in her first scene when she walks out of her house with a winter hat on... she really is a beautiful woman. G-d certainly gave to Julie with both hands & a basket. Andrews' performance was right on target playing Katherine the widowed pediatric cardiolist. The storyline, not unique, but different because of their situations, was really cute & fun with a few unexpected delights.
James Garner, whom I LOVED, in THE NOTEBOOK, was fabulous as the husband of an alzheimers patient in hospice & then a widower. Their chemistry is undeniable.
I remember being about 20 when VICTOR/VICTORIA came out and it was one of my favorite movies! Garner & Andrews still bring life to the screen separately and together. I am a "renewed" fan of them both.
Movie Review: GREAT MOVIE FOR THE HOLIDAYS OR A COLD SNOWY NIGHT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a terrific movie to watch over the holidays, or just on a cold snowy night. Julie Andrews and James Garner are great as two opposites in the twilight of life. Garner's wife is afllicted with Altzheimer's and it is touching to see the impact this terrible disease has, not only on the afflicted, but the families that are faced with torment as well. It is not probed in depth, which is good for the tone of the movie. The other topics, Julie Andrews' husband's passing and her devotion to him, as well as the two daughters of James Garner, who seem at odds, give additional interest but primarily, it is a cozy romantic movie. It is amusing that some reviewers here are panning it. Listen kids, it's not rocket science, just a movie! Enjoy!!
