Movie Review: This Star Shines Bright
Summary: 5 Stars

THE EVENING STAR is the sequel to the highly popular 1983 film TERMS OF ENDEARMENT. The kids are grown up. The eldest son in jail, the youngest son in a dead end job and fathering an illegitemate son with his girlfriend, and a hell bent daughter. Aurora has to deal with all of this, but her friends such as her maid Rosie, help her out. Rosie decides that Aurora is depressed, and tricks her into seeing a psychiatrist, who Aurora eventually falls for. Then there is Patsy, always integrating herself into Aurora's life, being jealous of her taking care of the kids when they were growing up. This feud is well played throughout the movie, with Patsy trying to upstage Aurora at every chance, and vice versa. They both fall for the same man, who is much younger than Aurora, which only causes more friction in their already tumultuous friendship. Life changes though when her grandson gets out of jail and decides to make a life for himself, and Aurora's granddaughter learns to chase her dreams after life's disapointments. The movie centers around these characters and their interpersonal relationships with each other, dealing with conflicts, death, and whatever card fate hands them. Shirley MacLaine shines once again as Aurora Greenway, and the cast is enriched by Juliette Lewis, Bill Paxton, Marion Ross, Miranda Richardson, and more. Overall, some reviewers don't like it as much as TERMS, but I think this improves on an already great story.

Movie Review: Evening Star Rview
Summary: 5 Stars

I adore this movie and all the characters in it. I love Jack Nicholson and Shirley McClaine together again for the 2nd time.
This movie is great for mother and daughter time, this movie will make you laugh and cry, this is one of my favorites, I am not sure what draws me to it, but everytime I am finished watching it I feel refreshed, happy. I think it has to do with the ending-I don't want to spoil it but if you have ever wondered about the afterlife or had a fear of passing on, I think this movie will calm your worries.

Movie Review: Evening Star
Summary: 5 Stars

Who doesn't know a family like this these days! Shirley MacLaine is just the most believeable character, and when Jack Nicholson shows up - well he's simply the icing on the cake. I love a movie that can make me cry and make me laugh no matter how many times I see it.

Movie Review: rainy afternoon
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this movie to collect and watch right after the first one and it is great how well it meshes. i recommend a rainy afternoon with a big afghan just like Aroura does and snuggle on the coach and watch them. Great movie to add to collection

Movie Review: Heartmoving!
Summary: 5 Stars

Everytime I watch this witty, funny, sad, tearful movie, I both laugh and cry. The acting is wonderful. Shirley Macclaine is a very lovable character along with the rest of the cast. Great movie! Never get tired of re-watching.
