My Thoughts:

This film holds a special place in my heart as it was one of my wife's favorite. While not the best film in the world I really enjoyed it. I liked both the setting and the story line. Matter of fact I think the last time I watched this one I rated it a little low. Well worth the time put in to watch it.

He's surely going to try!

My Thoughts:

No, this one is not as good as the first one. But like the first one this one holds a bit of a special place in my hert. Plus I like this one for the fact that it has motorcycles instead of cars. I have always liked motorcycles. So while I don't know that I would recommend this one to others....I enjoy getting to see this one every now and then.

My Thoughts:

I had no idea what to expect going into this one. I found it to be nothing more then an average film as I liked the story... but didn't care much for the style. I found it to just be a little too much on the weird side for my taste. I did like seeing Anthony Stewert Head in something other then Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

My Thoughts:

While I don't know I would call it one... but both Netflix and IMDB calls this one a musical. There is a couple songs in it is all. But what I did find here is a fun comedy... I enjoyed it very much. Lots of laughs here and lots of familiar faces. This is one I feel comfortable recommending.

While it was recommended to me by more then one person...this is just not one I could make it all the way through. Though I did give it a fair chance to I am including it (with Gen's agreement). I just found that one... I am just cannot stand this type of music. And two... I need at least some dialog that is not sung. It's just a must for me. This is one I will definitely NOT be adding to my collection.

My Thoughts:
So i've been in the mood for the "older classic" movies lately, and i decided to check this one out. Not sure if i've seen it before or not, but Steve Mcqueen is always a solid name. This is a typical old fashion gambler movie from the good old days. Really miss those movies. Again, a real good actionflick with a good Steve Mcqueen in the lead. And even tho you kinda knew how the movie would end, i still enjoyed it quite a bit. This blurayset offers great picture and sound, and there are some cool extras too. Check it out!

My Rating:
5/6

In person, Tara is as shy as they come, but on the air, Radio Rebel is the smoothest talker around – she gives voice to all kids, popular and unpopular alike, and she questions the status quo. As Radio Rebel's popularity grows, so does the pressure to reveal her true identity. Now, Tara must choose between keeping her on-air identity a secret, or owning her voice and risk losing everything.

My Thoughts:

I must say... I really enjoyed this one a lot. It has a great and fun story. It draws you in quickly and keeps your attention easily through to the end. They make it easy to cheer on the main character. This is one I definitely recommend checking out if you get the chance.
