Angels Fall (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Angel's Fall", based on a book written by Nora Roberts, is an engaging movie that is likely to entertain you, and that has enough ingredients of a good thriller to keep you at the edge of your seat.
The main character is Reece (Heather Locklear), a young woman that survived a massacre in her Boston restaurant and has been running from what happened, never settling too long anywhere. Despite that, she decides to settle at least for a little while in a small but very beautiful Wyoming town, Angel's Falls. Reece gets a job at a diner, manages to make some new friend and even meets Brody (Johnathon Schaech), a handsome writer she is somewhat attracted to, even though he irritates her. Unfortunately, Reece's luck doesn't hold, and she ends up witnessing from afar what seems to be a murder. But did Reece really saw a crime, or is she so traumatized by what happened to her in Boston that she is imagining things?
If you are interested in knowing what happened and how things develop between Reece and Brody, simply watch this movie. Truth to be told, it is different from the book on which it is based, but nonetheless good enough on its own to be worth watching. That is the reason why I give this movie 3.5 stars out of 5. Recommended...

Sortilegio (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sortilegio is one of my all-time favorite telenovelas. The show features your typical telenovela hallmarks; with the over-the-top plot points, evil twins, kidnappings and classic lines. The production value is excellent--great scenery (makes me want to go to the Yucatan) and the chemistry between Jacky and William as Maria Jose and Alejandro is second to none.
As somebody whose Spanish is not their first language (or second, or third); I always purchase the novela DVDs to get the English subtitles. And, like all novela DVDs, 95+ hours of the original run show has been cut down to 17 hours. While I knew that the slashing of the novela was going to happen; I was keeping my fingers crossed that some of my favorite scenes/parts/plot lines wouldn't get cut. Overall; the flow/comprehension of the storyline is good and what they cut made sense, but I was still seriously disappointed that some of (in my mind) the best scenes were left out. I am slightly biased towards the love story between Maria Jose and Alex, and some of their best scenes were omitted (ie. hotel scene, cenote) and some of the lighter moments with son Tony heavily glazed over. I would have preferred to have those scenes included and some of the parts with the b-storyline and secondary characters get the axe.
I'm not sure who decides to make the dvd 17 hours long; but a few more hours would have made the world of a difference in my mind--I've seen other novela sets with 20 hours or so, so it's do-able.
The extras include bloopers, "music video" to Il Divo's interpretation of the theme song (which you will hear over and over and over and over and over and over throughout all the discs) and a "making of" feature which basically is various vignettes that were created to promote the show. I wished novela dvds had some of the more higher-end features/elements of other TV show dvds...would have found some type of commentary interesting.
All in all, the DVD is a must have for Sortilegio fans. The story of Maria Jose and Alex is my favorite and always brings a smile to my face!

The Hollywood Mom's Mystery (2004) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have 3 words for those who are thinking of buying this movie: save your money!
Justine Bateman, who was so good and so cute as Mallory Keaton in "Family Ties" made a bad choice when she agreed to star in this bomb. It is badly written, amateurishly directed, choppy and disconnected. It goes from slow all the way to boring! The plot is thin, the dialogue worse.
Andrew McCarthy has almost a bit part in this waste of film, as Bateman's husband. Actually, he provides the best single scene in the whole sloppy thing, when Bateman dreams that her husband (McCarthy) is trying to kill her. He is fully menacing and intense, and this is the only good scene to be found anywhere in this nonsense.
The beginning is not so good, the ending is predictable and, well - boring!
I repeat: Save your money.
