Love Song (2000)
Cute Interracial Movie
I am biased towards any interracial love story that does not have Whoopie Goldberg as a love interest (yeesch)or ugly or nerdy guy with black chick or fat black sista scenarios. This was a cute movie and Cristian Kane brought a lot to the movie. Again very good looking cast. I think Monica's handlers should have allowed her more leeway and depth to show passion between her and Cristian but I guess black girl and white guy together is still too much of a taboo than the reverse (i.e. NBA, Quincy Jones Lionel Ritchie). I could buy the whole social class difference and love at first sight story but they needed to have a good DNA swapping scene to give it that extra push, and Monica needs some more acting lessons. Also the friends and family not approving because of colour is soooo played out and boring since most of the time friends and family don't like the person your with even if they are the same race or religion. All in all cute flick for the G rated generation.
Mr. and Mrs. Loving (1996)
Really Good Interracial Love Story
This was a really good interracial love story that did not exaggerate stereotypes. The characters were actually good looking (hear that Whoopie Goldberg!!, and believable. The love story between Timothy Hutton and Lela Rochon comes across as two people who have fallen in love and its up to the rest of the world to get it. I did not like the scenes when they moved to the city and race started to interfere with their lives, but the movie is based on a true story and that was the only sad part. I like the fact that when Lela Rochon's character gets pregnant, there is no drama and Timothy Hutton's character thinks nothing about marrying her. If your a Gen X'r who grew up in a multi-cultured environment, try and get this movie for your collection. It really is a beautiful love story.
Nature Unleashed: Avalanche (2004)
Great to Watch If You Have Insomnia
I like sci-fi and the B movie genre so this movie was actually pretty good considering the obvious low budget shots. The acting was palatable the scenes OK except I got tired to the cracking ice shots over and over again. Typical cliché riddled B movie with a few twists. Spoilt daddy's girl is not a whiny brat and actually has some business sense. Greedy Real Estate Daddy Dude actually listens to the scientist and nixes the bottom line to help save the day. Really big whammy, the Hot dude makes it with the homely scientist chick who only has 6 toes. Yep definitely did not see that coming (toe shots either) cool looking ice bar, dumb tourists. Perfect movie if you can't sleep and are stuck home with the flu for Christmas.....again
