Reign Over Me (2007)

Great Feel Good Movie

[10/10 · 23 February 2008]

AWESOME Movie... one I would see again and again. Adam Sandler does a great job in such a serious role. Fan of Mr. Sandler or not this movie is certainly worth seeing. Truly heart warming, kinda sucks that they with held the release of the movie for rent... I am thinking mostly because the original release date was a little close to 9/11 anniversary, so that goes with out saying. I think it paints a great picture on how painful losing your family can be, its a great move forwards as a nation moving on from such a terrible loss, and from a day that forever change the nations way of thinking. If you haven't seen this moving go rent or borrow a copy from a friend, see it once, twice...three or four times.

The Alamo: Thirteen Days to Glory (1987 TV Movie)

Fun Fact

[9/10 · 7 February 2006]

heres a fun fact, I was the baby in the movie, the one in the crib. :) I am 19 years old now. my parents took me to try out for the part, we lived in Texas at the time.I think I only made like 80 bucks for it, but i wasn't in it very long. My parents said i would cry when i was supposed to be happy and would be happy when i was supposed to cry. I was all mixed up. Strange and funny fact i suppose.. and no I am not a child actress. I am livin' in San Antonio, workin' at a walgreens. I graduated here in Texas but I lived in Maryland most my life. This Movie is a great movie, though, good concept. I have seen it several times in my short 19 years.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

Took to much out (may contain spoilers)

[4/10 · 25 November 2005]

This movie left so much of the back story out and it failed to live up to the hype the other movies created, I wish I would have waited to see this movie when it came to the Dollar Movies (.75 a person for the first showing). The movie opens with Harry's reoccurring dream, scar burning he wakes to Hermione's Voice. They Take the port key, To the world cup, where they left out the entire match if you didn't read the book you would not know who had won. This movie just got more and more disappointing as it went on. My advice to harry potter fans is wait to see the movie when you can rent it or if there is a dollar movie in your town, seeing this movie then would be a great way to spend an afternoon.
