This Movie Is My Favorite, Starring Julia Roberts. If You Are A Woman, I Feel That You Can Relate To What She Is Going Through. You Do Not Have To Be
A Battered Woman To Feel Her Pain And Anquish. I Really Think That She Should Have Won An Oscar For Her Portrayal Of A Woman, Who Feels Trapped In A Marriage, And Desperately Needs To Escape!
Just came across some really cool info about Katharine Hepburn. Was browsing The New York Public Library website and noticed it has a series of new online videos that gives a snapshot of its research collections...including the Katharine Hepburn Papers.

She was an amazing woman both on the big screen and on stage! Let's keep each other posted on hidden gems like this we discover online...send links!
What's not to like about this movie? Anything Harrison Ford is in is an instant classic. Plus any Tom Clancy books always make for great screen plays. I love this movie because it is non-stop and action packed. Its filled with twists and turns and your always left wanting more. It has an all star cast with Willem Dafoe, James Earl Jones and Benjamin Bratt to name a few. This movie shows how corruption, money and power rule the government, but gives us hope that there are a few good men willing to do the right thing still out there. This is by far one of my favorite movies I could watch it again and again forever.

"That was the night that I died and someone else was saved. Someone who was afraid of water but learned to swim, someone who knew that there would be a moment he wasn't watching, someone who knew the broken lights would lead the way."
I love the movie Sleeping With The Enemy because it represents the struggle to overcome abuse. Julia Roberts takes us through the emotions of being abused and finding the strength within to change the situation. What better way to represent the change of picking a new life than dressing up and trying on different hats, so I guess I should have remembered how many...oops. It may have taken Laura 3 years 7 months and 6 days to find the courage but it is never to late to make a stand for you. I believe that many people can relate or wonder what they would do if put in those same shoes and that is why Sleeping With The Enemy is a Classic. We can all overcome whatever holds us back and find a new joy! Dress up and dance like Laura did...Believe!
I hope everyone enjoyed watching Cinemania as much as I enjoyed playing the game!
What's in a Name - I'm a newcomer to this blog and a passionate Mad Men fan. Has anyone noticed Matthew Weiner's clever use of names? For example, the office problem drinker is named Freddie RUMson. I also really like the nostalgic names: Peggy, Betty, Sally, Roger, Don, Hildy, Jane, Ken, Kitty - these are names that almost no one gets anymore. Further, I wonder if Mr. Weiner thought up Crab Colson just to accommodate the delightful Crab Duck, Duck Crab introduction. Weiner very correclty is poking fun at typical Wasp nicknames of that era.
So what's new about this movie? Picard embodies the perfect Starfleet officer. But take that uniform off and replace it with tattered clothes and remove that individual form his starship and place him in the deep recesses of a sunless world mined by slaves, tortured by Romulans and ...you get the picture.
What I think people missed in this movie was the big question: Are Picard and the clone so different? Shinzon even asks Picard that in the movie. Could Picard have changed or convinced the clone had he had more time? Could the original Picard in a similar situation become evil? Either way, it is the human element and conflict within each of the Picards and is what will intrigue an audience and is what I especially liked about this movie. It wasn't just some random bad guy.
What was also interesting, with all of the technology, sometimes you just have to solve things the good old-fashioned way: just ram your ship into them. I'm surprised that another captain never thought of that.
Great end to a great crew!

Yep, I am a Trekkie. Since I was a teen. This movie is my favorite because I have wondered if my DNA has been stolen and a nemesis of me is somewhere in the galaxy just waiting to surprise me. Captain Jean-Luc Picard was surprised by Praetor Shinzon as his nemesis. Picard is curious about where Shinzon came from and how much alike they really are, just as we as an audience are.
I think my favorite part in the movie is where B4's head is in the center console asking inappropriate questions, including the question about Picard's shinny head. The music and crew in this film continues the journey of Star Trek and they feel like my friends in space. This is a classic film that can be watched over and over and never tire of the conflict of good and evil. So enjoy the film with a cup of Earl Grey Tea, hot.
