Re: MOM October 2010

Street Angel -- I had to split this into two sessions, which is something I don't like to do and it might have affected my enjoyment of the film. I thought the first half was great, but the second half was mostly unremarkable melodrama. The lead actress was consistently good. I'll give it a 73 overa...

Re: MOM October 2010

Re: Revisiting Movies from One's Childhood

My first movie memory is of Star Wars (ep 4 / A New Hope for you young'uns). Still love it, of course, but it's not really a movie you need to "revisit" if you grew up around that time, because it was always there. Most movies that I loved as a young child and have revisited have not stood...
