This one is a classic staring Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze and Whoopi Goldberg. The soundtrack is good too. Well worth a watch for those who never saw it.

The setting for this story was what my idea of paradise would look like. Even if the story had been bad, which it was not, I would have loved to watch the background. The story was much more complex than I though it could be. Both mothers who were best friends, are beautiful in spite of the fact that they were much older than their love interests. In the beginning of the story I really had a difficult time wrapping my mind around two young guys wanting to have a relationship with these older women. That it turned into more than sex for some of them made for complications. At the point when I thought the story came to it`s logical conclusion everything changes. This is mainly because emotions and people cannot be predicted nor can what one person thinks is best be forced on others.To some extent the implications of having an affair with two people with such a big age gap is predictable that there will be problems. But even there, the story has some surprises as to what the surprises were.
Thanks all for so many comments about this movie. They brought it to my attention. Priceless! It should be a mandatory watch for anyone thinking about adopting or buying a dog.
A fun conclusion to their half season. New Zealand was a great pick to travel.
Beautiful, informative, heartbreaking and hopeful. I really was glad I watched.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. It is an amazing look into the history of the music and the bands of the 60s. I found it incredible on how close all the bands were and how intertwined they were. I grew up as a little kid listening to my parents vinyl records of these bands and learning more of the origin of them all and how they started is just fascinating.
The basic story was much better than I though it would be. It was sketchy and scattered at parts. I think if they would have had a bigger budget it would have taken care of that. A one time watch for me with three stars.
I just heard of this series as the second season came out. it was nice to watch the whole first season back to back. Reminds me of old time westerns where the hero is clearly defined and wholesome. Good family show too. On to season 2.
Now we have the answer! They invaded because they like music, especially David Bowie! :)I thought the episode was good.
why didnt they just get off the damn boat in the day time if he was killing at night? duh
This was based on Bram Stokers book, so the outline was already set. Read Dime
s post above. Also, did you not realize they were trying to kill it before they left the ship. They did not want it to reach land and kill others. They also were too far from land in the beginning to abandon ship. Traveling during the day would not guarantee them surviving if they could not reach land before nightfall. It had wings and could they wait till night and kill them enroute to land.
I found this tonight. The beginning was maddingly slow, and I would have not stuck with it if I was not a big fan of Ben Kingsley. At first I did not recognize Mr. Kingsley with the altered appearance. It stated out as a silly story, but evolved into a collection of touching moments. The ending was emotional and somewhat sad to me. I am glad I hung in there and continued to watch. Link i had was clear with decent sound.
This was very well done. This film was nominated for 15 awards and won 1. Without giving away the story it is about three generations of a family. The actors were believable in their characters. The story seemed a bit slow, at least by American standards but was well worth the wait to get to where it was going. If you do not mind subs (It is spoken in French) this is worth a watch.
I just saw a commercial for this series on the beginning of the current episode of Outlander. I never heard of it, but am looking forward to binge watching season 1 and catch with season 2.
A young Alec Baldwin and Meg Ryan team up for this cute and funny film. I liked it.
So slow. You can easily take a long nap and not miss anything. Low budget and I did not like the main character. Time I will never get back.
As much as I love music I have never been a fan of show tunes and musicals. That being said, I have a friend who`s children are so thrilled with musicals that after a show they view and like, they have to go out and buy the soundtrack which is played over and over for months. I wonder if any of these songs will make it to that level of famous. Perhaps a parody done on one of these songs in the future.
I was wondering if an unemployed Broadway writer got hired for this episode. I was also wondering if when the recurring actors went for an audition they had to sing.
Overall, I think they all did a good job, with some being excellent with their singing voice. And even thought musicals are not my thing, I did watch it till the end. For real shock value, the Klingons singing were my favorite.
Religious propaganda film with no real storyline. Family is hungry and thirsty. Husband goes off to get medication for no apparent reason. Well is dry. No explanation as to why they are in these conditions. No explanation as to why there is little furniture in the house. Strange guy shows up claiming he is a prophet from God and convinces woman to feed him the last of the food she had for her and her son. Food magically appears the next day in cabinets. Kid falls out of a tree he did not even climb. Then they are praying he is not dead, instead of trying to get him medical help. Casting was awful too. If people are hungry and without water, they look dehydrated and thin. These actors did not. It bothers me to no end that instead of action to help oneself, people look to religious dogma as a solution of a magic wand. Have they forgotten about all the third world people who are without well water and food. How could IMDB rate this so high?
I really love this series. I think it could not be done any better. For a tv series its excellent quality. But, oh, the wait. After the next episode, (August 11) we will have to wait a year for the next 8 to finish out the season. Sometimes it is more than a year between seasons. Eight episodes done in less than 3 months; then another year to to continue the rest. Every time this comes back I question whether or not I want to get involved in watching because it
s so long in between. Here I am again glued to the story, not at all prepared for the long wait to come.
Multiple problems and cliffhangers, but the biggest one was the last moment of the episode. Excellent viewing.
I missed this one last week. The caring for the prisoners, the teaching of Gallic, and the talk discribing William, each scene got me choked up.
Glad to see Star Trek tackling some very serious subjects. Good episode.
A six episode mini series. The first few episodes seemed more like a soap drama. The last three were much better. I am doubting how historically correct it was, but it was quite entertaining to watch
It actually happened in Japan. Hachiko is pretty much a national hero there. He has his own bronze statue next to Shibuya Train Station in Tokyo.
I saw the American version of this story staring Richard Gere and it was excellent. Since the story is true and happened in Japan, I imagine they did a good version of the story.
I just recently watched โBird Box Barcelonaโ and during the discussion I realized I had never seen this film. This had a bigger story and much more drama, compare to the other film being mostly action. Very well done. A bit of trivia: The birds in the box were Pacific Parrotlets, but in the cage they were Lovebirds.
For all those who made comments about wanting to see this when links are out, it`s here.
I watched this film when it came out. Plenty of action and some dark zombie humor. Worth a one time watch.
Each time I watch this series I compare it to what Gene Rodenberrys series was like. I think these writers are coming very close. Often the episodes were a combination of science and emotions. The crew on the Enterprise in the future were a very close group and showed it by caring about each other in a personal way. I think James Kirk
s character portrayed with a combination of arrogance, compassion and humor is spot on. There is a nice development of quirky characters here too.I have been happy with the episodes so far as being a very good mirror of the first StarTrek.
Arty Indie film. Slow, low budget, with the two main actors both being husband and wife in real life. Nt much talking.Weird music in the background graded on me.
Did you see the 1st one? Iโve not & wondering if I need to see it in order to enjoy this one. Thanks in advance.
I don`t think I did see the first one. It did not refer to anything previous, so I would say it is not important to see the first to enjoy this one.
Solid movie i wanna know what they are without looking maybe a tiny quick peek ๐ watching it dubed
Contrary to IMDB I thought it was a solid four out of five stars. At the very end I understood what the title was about. Worth a watch, in my opinion.
Everything is is black and white. The conversations for the first half of the film are trivial. The females laugh at everything, whether funny or not. At one point red wine is ordered, but the they are drinking white. Maybe things are lost in translation, but I found it dry and boring as dust. Oh, and the subs are brite white on a white screen which makes it difficult to read.
Well, at least now we know at least one person will make it out of the war and back to Scotland. Meanwhile, back in the past, Jamie might do better with strategies if he goes directly to the General.A rather sad episode overall.
A fun episode, but I am guessing this version of Star Trek does not have to follow along the same lines as the first Star Trek. While watching this I kept remembering what T Pring did to Spock in the original series and it was a more dramatic and emotional situation.
Very good, but slow moving. A girl with a large, highly dysfunctional family is sent to a home of a couple who treats her well and loves her. Her going back to what she left behind is at the beginning of the school year is heartbreaking.
Great movie.
Yes, it is! And your comment might just bring it to the attention of someone me who would like it!
Reminded me of the Star Trek when Gene Roddenberry was still alive and writing them. Good episode.
Interesting, if not totally accurate story of a black composer who`s music was temporarily lost after the French Revolution, and rediscovered years later.
Directed by Scarlett Johansson just adds to the bizarreness.
Maybe they were both just bored and thought it would have be fun to make a hot dog commercial. But as commercials go, this one could put me to sleep.
This is a comedy skit where Keven Bacon directs a short film of a guy and girl are have sex, and a duck walks in the door and interrupts them.
Another good Sci Fi classic. Worth a watch.
