Movie Reviews of Rain
Movie Review: VERY ENJOYABLE! SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THEATRES!
Summary: 5 Stars
Rain. Also the name of the 4 book series from V. C. Andrews. This was a very enjoyable movie. Brooklyn Sudano (Donna Summer's daughter) really captured the heart, soul, and essence of this amazing young woman. All of V.C. Andrews women are amazing, be they young naive women who grow into astounding adults or the evil grandmothers who always, deep down, have a heart, even if they hide it well.
Faye Dunaway was brilliant. I can't imagine a better choice for this movie. Robert Loggia was incredible. I have to admit I really came to hate the villian who blackmailed and then tried to kill Rain. A different twist from the book, but superbly worked into the movie. You always have to hate someone in a V.C. Andrews novel / movie!
Why this was not released in theatres is beyond me. There's a lot of crap that gets released and then fades away to DVD. This movie was not given the star quality it deserved. Yes, the "sequel" inside the movie answered some questions but really left me wanting more, more! Shame on Pocket Books for not publishing this as a full length VCA novel. Megan was really fascinating!
The screen play was by Andrew Neiderman who is also the VCA ghostwriter. You've seen Mr. Neiderman's work before in The Devil's Advocate, an adaption of his own fine novel. Now, we all have to keep our fingers crossed for a remake of the disappointing Flowers in the Attic movie! LONG LIVE VCA STORIES AND MOVIES!
Summary of Rain
RAIN is the story of a 19-year old African American girl who lives in the inner city projects with her younger sister, her older brother and their mother. Her sister becomes involved with gang members, is drugged at a party and then sexually explicit photos are taken of her and used for blackmail. Rain tries to intervene but is unsuccessful and ultimately witnesses her sister's murder; thus becoming a threat to the gang leader. Rain?s mother secretly contacts what turns out to be Rain's real mother who is white. Rain?s biological mother reluctantly agrees to protect her and Rain is placed in the home of her grandmother, a wealthy white woman. Rain is placed in a private boarding school for the gifted which culminates into Rain's emergence as a talented singer and musician.Similar DVD Movies
