This is a story of a friendship between an unlikely pair but kids don't care. One young girl comes from a well-bred upper class family and another girl is a street smart daughter of a New York apt. building super. They learn from one another about a different culture and the dialog is fantastic - extremely believable. I'm sorry the overall rating this movie received was so mediocre. The low scores were obviously given by persons out of touch with real life, especially from the perspective of a young girl.

The Ring
(2002)
c'mon guys, what more do you want?

I've read some of the "not scary" comments - please! What more do you want? This movie kept me on the edge of my seat but I went into the theater with the expectation of 'suspending my disbelief'. If you're going to sit and pick the movie apart, then why pay the $7? Once you're into the plot, into the characters, into the movie, you'll agree...this was one creepy flick. And if you never even "jumped", you might be dead already---
In the Best Interest of the Child
(1990 TV Movie)
Where's the closure?

This movie was interesting and it held my attention but I was very disappointed in the end at the lack of an ending. When the courts are wrong and people fight for justice, I feel the viewer needs to know that there are alternatives to the choices the main character has made. This movie just ended and left you feeling pretty cheated.
We the Jury
(1996 TV Movie)
Interesting albeit a little slow

What I liked about the movie was seeing the jury process in motion. Having never served on a jury, it was good to see the process portrayed as being "by the law", and the fact that there are twelve people there - each keeping the other in line. But the commercial breaks on the Lifetime Channel are distracting and the ending never gave you what I call a conclusion. It did keep my husband awake though, and he said if I was going to watch Lifetime, he was going to take a nap. :-)
