Holiday for Lovers (1959)
The remake was much, much better
While I love Clifton Webb, he's one of my favorite actors. However, this movie was just okay. The remake, "Take Her, She's Mine" with James Stewart and Sandra Dee was considerably more entertaining.
In "Take Her, She's Mine" James Stewart's character keeps getting mistaken for the "actor" James Stewart. This is also one of the first movies that Sandra Dee transformed from the "cute, sweet little Gidget" type girl to "showing" that she was a fully grown woman.
There are also appearances by very young Bob Denver (Gilligan from Gilligan's Island), Jim Nabors (Gomer Pyle from the Andy Griffith Show and Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C.), and James Brolin (Marcus Welby, M.D., The Amityville Horror - 1979 version, and Westworld.)
Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005)
Boring - Don't bother
A ripoff of Jumanji. It was like the creators couldn't come up with an original idea, so they slightly altered the story a bit and made a lame copy. There was no fun or excitement, just kids running around screaming and things being blown up. Big Whoop! This was a very boring movie. It wasn't even cute. The gags were just that, obvious gags. In the movie description, "...as the siblings find themselves learning to cooperate in ways they never expected as they realize what they mean to each other." should have warned me. The thing about the astronaut's brother was very cliché and pat. I'm sticking to Jumanji. Perhaps it was Robin Williams that made the movie and nothing else. I do have to admit, the Zordon's were pretty cool looking.
Grey Owl (1999)
Worst Movie EVER!
I saw this picture on a plane and was so bored I wanted to jump! Honestly, I wanted to escape, but couldn't because I was trapped at 30,000 feet. Jumping would have been a lot less painful than watching this horrific waste of time.
There was nothing good about this movie. I didn't care about the story, Pierce Brosnan's character was dull, and the entire movie was a waste of time. I guess it was shown on an airplane because they couldn't sell it anywhere else. This movie was god awful!!!
Save Yourself!
Avoid this movie at all costs and hope you don't get trapped on a plane with it.
