A Child's Cry for Help review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 13 August 2011 11:08 (A review of A Child's Cry for Help)

In this 1994 made for television movie, Dr. Paula Spencer (Veronica Hamel), a recently widowed doctor, moves with her daughter to start at a new hospital. While there, a loving mother, Monica Shaw (Pam Dawber) brings her son in for treatment. Dr. Spencer suspects foul play when the child starts getting worse instead of better.

Very mysterious movie, as no one knows whats making the child sick. Dr Paula Spencer comes off as a little paranoid and controlling at the beginning, but we soon find out who's really causing the little boy to become sicker.

Based on a true story, this 1985 TV movie, stars Pam Dawber as Marsha Harper, a happily married woman with two children, who hires herself out as a part-time wife to a bunch of single men who are in desperate need of her homemaking skills. Unfortunately, her full-time husband (Robert Klein) is not too happy about her new career.

Quite funny and has a great group of actors.

The Man with Three Wives review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 13 August 2011 10:50 (A review of The Man with Three Wives)

Beau Bridges stars in this fact-based TV movie as Dr. Norman Grayson (Beau Bridges, a man who may destroy his life because he loves not wisely but too well--and too often. Hopelessly smitten by three ... read more different women over the course of several years, Grayson ends up marrying all three, then spends the rest of the movie trying to be a good and faithful husband to each wife without the others discovering his tangled web of deceit. Only when one of the women, Robyn (Pam Dawber), starts putting the pieces together, do the other wives Lillian (Kathleen Lloyd) and Katy (Joanna Kerns) even begin to suspect that Grayson's frequent out-of-town trips are not professional nature. Ironically, audience sympathy is with the bigamous Grayson throughout the film--especially at the end, in which the three woman turn upon each other over base financial matters!

Bastard Out of Carolina review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 13 August 2011 10:44 (A review of Bastard Out of Carolina)

Anney is a woman who has a lot of pride. She doesn't want her daughter Ruth Anne, nicknamed 'Bone' to be known as a bastard child, because the father up and left her, before the baby was even born. She marries the perfect man when Bone is around three, but he dies in a terrible accident, leaving her child fatherless again. Now Anney has two children, and no father or husband, so her brother sets her up with Glen, a no good man.

This movie is a little scary to watch when you're as young as I was when I first saw it, but the actors play their parts very well, bringing together this amazing story.

The Baby Dance review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 13 August 2011 10:37 (A review of The Baby Dance)

Stockard Channing and Laura Dern star in this touching movie about a poor woman, Wanda and her husband, Al trying to give away their 5th child, as they can't afford it. Richard and Rachel have been trying to have a child for many years, failing misrably, so they resort to adoption and come across Wanda and Al, the trailer park couple who have a baby that they don't want.

It's a very sad movie, because Wanda and Al want to keep the baby, but they can barely afford the 4 they've already got. Richard and Rachel desperatly want a baby of their own, fearing that the trailer park couple are the wrong ones for them, as they keep asking for money an their living conditions aren't exactly suitable.

True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 13 August 2011 05:43 (A review of True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet)

Pretty good movie about an Actress, Morgan Carter, who's the typical party girl, gets everything she wants and thinks that's she's more important than anything, until she ends up in rehab, then her mother and manager come up with a plan to send her away to her Aunt in Indiana, becoming Claudia Miller, just another highschool girl, where she struggles to make friends, get good grades and keep track of the lies she's telling everyone.
Not a bad movie, could have been better without the usual cliches.

My Baby's Daddy review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 12 August 2011 01:31 (A review of My Baby's Daddy)

Very funny movie, especially the new fathers responses for having to feed and change their babies. G's cousin no-good is very funny when he robs the baby store, demanding the organic food.

You, Me and Dupree review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 11 August 2011 10:08 (A review of You, Me and Dupree)

Finally got to watch it and it was hilarious! Dupree is really annoying at the beginning, you can tell that he's going to cause some troubles for this couple, but in the end he brings the couple together and gets his life back on track. Great movie, would have been even better if it were longer :D
I loved the tension between Carl and his father in law, and Seth Rogen's character was very funny, especially from his comic take on marriage that the husband does everything his wife says and obeys her rules.
