It Happened on Fifth Avenue (1947)
This is a lost Christmas movie
I just love this little movie. The entire family can watch it after the rush of the day. The characters will take you in and you want the best for all of them. I really shouldn't write reviews because I never like giving away spoilers. If you live in NY you'll notice upper 5th Avenue hasn't changed that much. It deals with the depression period. The premise isn't the same ol' boy meets girl but rather various plotlines like Ernst Lubitsch.
Tell (2014)
Journey men actors carry the movie
I liked this movie because it was a good chance to see a cast of journey men actors work their craft. Almost every character you've seen before and wanted to see more.
T. Williams script was inventive and solid. The pacing was good, it kept your attention throughout the movie. There were some plot twists that I didn't expect. Now that I think of it, I just enjoyed the movie without sitting in my seat saying to myself "oh, now he's going to find out..." I was in it for the escape and that's what I got.
As a slight negative, I would have liked to see the character of the wife have a little more depth. When it was required of the actress, it was found wanting.
I've see lots of movies with "critics awards" not be half as entertaining. It was a good Saturday afternoon movie.
