Murdoch Mysteries: 8 Footsteps (2017) Season 11, Episode 3

Love the ending

[10/10 · 4 February 2020]

I loved Henry standing up for Miss Newsom's sense of self, and his caring for her. I have seen it 3x, every time I tear a bit, and I do not usually.

Ghostbusters: Answer the Call (2016)

Doubtful one star reviews saw movie

[10/10 · 2 August 2016]

I saw this movie with my husband and 26 year old son. We saw it after it had been out a few weeks. There were people in every row, different ages, too. Everyone stayed until the end, and there was a lot of laughing. Although we had seen all previous Ghostbusters movies, you didn't have to to enjoy it. We cracked up regularly, and thoroughly enjoyed the references to the previous movies. The men in my family were not offended by the presence of new, and female, actors in previously male roles, or a male receptionist. Did it deserve a 10? Maybe not, but it sure didn't deserve all those ones, and a lot of those I do not believe ever saw the movie. It was a very enjoyable way to spend evening, and my men gave it a 9.5 to a 10 because they laughed so much, and loved the choice of actors for the characters. My son mentioned he had friends who saw the movie and absolutely loved it. The ones who talked it diwn never saw it, and were very negative about messing with past success. The people who are ao reverent about Bill M's irreverence are missing the point! By the way, we stayed all through the credits to the little foreshadowing and flashback prequel at the end. Would love to see another. These women rock, and I think they would only be better in the next. Loved all the cameos, but give Annie Potts a bigger spot next time, her characters still make me smile!

Holiday for Lovers (1959)

funnier than expected

[8/10 · 22 January 2012]

My husband and I have seen this twice. He is not usually an older movie fan, but watches it with me. He laughed often all the way through. Perhaps if you are a parent you see it as being a bit more realistic in how a parent would respond to their children growing up. I thought it was very good, but I knew it was good for us because of the father's, Clifton Webb's, reactions. Jane Wyman was the peacekeeping mother, which I think is still more common than we admit. And to the person who complained they did not recognize Jill St. John because she did not have red hair, please. She was on her third movie, I believe, and many actors and actress change looks, hair color included and sometimes a minor part of the change, for the screen. The story line was a fairly natural progression of a young woman's family meeting her intended's family, but in a foreign country and with some mix ups, and the differences both sides may have in a bit of a culture clash. The addition of the younger daughter, played by Carol Lynley, was done very well, and the awareness of the parents in confirming they had two adult daughters reminded me especially of my father as his daughters grew up. My father had three, along with three sons, and was protective also, but brought us up to think for ourselves, sometimes to his chagrin. The scenery was beautiful and I think the producers really tried to give you the feeling that you were seeing some of Brazil at that time period. The sandwiches at the bullfight, and the American reaction to what they thought they wanted to see, is a good example, along with more obvious landmark views. Enjoy!
