Passion of Mind (2000)
For those you like to remember
For those of us who like to remember loved ones, who believe movies can and must be more than just a laid back entertaining experience, but a voyage through our own feelings, imagination and the past images, people and moments gone by that make us who we are today, I would recommend this apparent portray of a woman's insanity between two lives that are, in reality, directly linked to explain who she really is. Yes the movie is sometimes difficult to follow for rational minds, but the final moments bring it all together. You may not like it from a rational standpoint, but from an emotional one, if you have found in a stituation someday where you've had to relive, accept and say goodbye to your past in order to really appreciate your present, then emotionally, you will understand and appreciate it. Demi Moore delivers a subtle and wonderful performance. I miss her. I wish someone would tell her (or Hollywood) that an actress should not be judged on the regularity of big movies she cashes in for them but on the quality of the movies and messages her projects deliver. Thanks for making me remember my mom again ;)
Shades of Love: Moonlight Flight (1988)
Go, Petey!
Soap opera goes to the movies. Nothing new there, but well acted. The Canadian scenery is well used and adds to the basis of the characters. Basically a plus to hear Reckell singing, along some humor and nice chemistry between the two leads. A rather stereotyped movie that could have had no charm without Peter in it. As usual, the bright spot in those Harlequin movies for adults is the love scene. This one is long and romantic, but very effective, even if rather tame, compared to the explicit sex flicks Reckell did along the way in his career. Interesting for those who haven't seen his muscular butt yet, but for those who remember just how "huge" Petey's talent is could be disappointed, for his "singing" has always been louder on the mattress than on the piano like in this movie.
