Catch a Falling Star (2000)
Overall, just what you would expect!
This was a nice, easy to watch Lifetime movie. There were no surprises, no real dramatic moments, nothing to take your breath away or to lose it from some emotion. But, it was light, and funny, silly, predictable - a chick flick. Who needs anything heavier? When I watch TV I don't want hard core real life. I want to have some enjoyment and to relax. I would have to say though, as a nurse, that hiring this women who only worked as a candy striper some 30 years earlier and calling her a "nurse" was a bit problematic for me. But all in all, it was good, clean, simple fun and a pleasure to watch. Personally, I couldn't wait until the end when she would come back and buy the mill!
Just Like Heaven (2005)
I just don't get it!
It was still an excellent movie, but why did it have to veer so far away from the book? I could tell from the trailer that it had, and it did. The book was simple, pure and real. The movie was still good, as I said, but someone please tell me, why!!!!!????? Reese Witherspoon is always my favorite actor and together with Mark Rufalo, well, I don't know if there is a better match! I have never seen anything I didn't like from either of them.
The movie is able to tug at your heart strings, certainly provides for good laughs and it's a pleasure to see Napolean Dynamites, John Heder again. And this time with his mouth shut more often!
I recommend everyone to go see it. It's not just a chick flick! It's a quality movie for everyone
