The Joy Luck Club (1993)

Poignant story of love and friendship crossing China to the USA

[10/10 · 9 August 2007]

This most wonderful movie "yes,yes" is at the top of my list for all time favorites.

Every time I watch, I am amazed by the excellent ability of these actress's to pull you into the story and believe they are the characters. You love, you laugh, you cry, it's wonderful! Ming wa is wonderful as June and Auntie Lindo is absolutely adorable!

The scenery is wonderful as you travel with some of the characters to China, and the United States too. It makes you want to do research into the times and places they show, where you can more fully understand the storyline.

You will definitely enjoy this movie.

Climbing 'Cold Mountain' (2004 Video)

Behind the scenes-Cold Mountain movie

[10/10 · 19 October 2005]

Wonderful for Cold Mountain fanatics! More Renee Z and, more Jack White! OH yeah, and more Nicole Kidman too. Seriously, If you loved the movie, and re-watched over and over for details-as did I, You'll really enjoy this documentary.

The music- behind the scenes is priceless. "Cold Mountain" made a Jack White(when he's singing country) fan out of me. Also check out "Loretta Lynn's-- Van Lear Rose" . I really enjoyed this documentary.

I watched it several times.

The more I watch Renee Zellweger, the more impressed I am. She can really take a character and make you believe that it's a real person. She managed that in "Chicago" too. I highly recommend this documentary to all "Cold Mountain" lovers out there.
