Michael-Bay Movie Reviews

My great aunt is actually in the movie, which is why I've been dying to see it since I was 8 years old. My parents wouldn't take me when it was initially released (given my impressionable age) but I thoroughly enjoyed watching it as an adult. It's a pretty timeless commentary on love lives, marriage, infidelity, commitment, etc. etc. I'm going to recommend that my neighborhood video vault (that claims to rent every movie ever made, but didn't have this one in stock) find a copy to rent!

By the way, my great aunt plays Harry Guardino's mom. She always used to play somebody's mom...

I found this movie to be a splendid comedy, which kept me chuckling like I was on laughing gas. It's a spectacular comedy from husband-and-wife team Renée Taylor (The Nanny) and Joseph Bologna (Big Daddy). It's also a great thrill to see Golden Globe and Emmy-winning Beatrice Arthur, along with Bonnie Bedelia, Richard Castellano, Bob Dishy, Michael Brandon, a young future Oscar-winner Diane Keaton, and Oscar-nominee Gig Young in one of his last films. I recommend this movie for anyone who just loves movies in general!
~~As for that viewer from Seattle, I'm not mad at that particular section of his review, BUT [they] SHOULD take into consideration that the following statement:
****Favorite moment (for guys): a Steadicam shot of Bonnie Bedelia's face as she walks toward a bed. Not even Liz Taylor's face could rival Bedelia's for those few seconds. Favorite moment (for gals): Harry Guardino blowing a sweet, macho kiss to Anne Meara during the wedding ceremony.****
--Leaves out certain people.
I think, had they taken more consideration of other people into account, they would've had a stronger opening statement, which would've been written like this:
:._-~*Favorite moment (for gal-lovers): a Steadicam shot of Bonnie Bedelia's face as she walks toward a bed. Not even Liz Taylor's face could rival Bedelia's for those few seconds. Favorite moment (for guy-lovers): Harry Guardino blowing a sweet, macho kiss to Anne Meara during the wedding ceremony.*~-_.:
Now that's the way the review shoulda looked--at least mine should come-off better to the polite-at-heart.
----
Anyways, when deciding if you'd like to purchase the movie or not, I suggest you choose "Add To Shopping Cart"--because it will be a wise choice that you are heavily rewarded for!

A big wedding, funny relatives, bittersweet relationships, a very young Diane Keaton -- what's not to love? In crowded theaters, Bob Dishy and Richard Castellano stole the show. Castellano still stands out, as do Gig Young and Bea Arthur. Favorite moment (for guys): a Steadicam shot of Bonnie Bedelia's face as she walks toward a bed. Not even Liz Taylor's face could rival Bedelia's for those few seconds. Favorite moment (for gals): Harry Guardino blowing a sweet, macho kiss to Anne Meara during the wedding ceremony.

Holm does a good job in a difficult role, but he's not as good as Olivier. Holm's Lear is far too angry and headstrong to be convincing in his transformation. He lacks the fragility and emotional range that makes Oliver's Lear so believable. Act III in the rainstorm also came across as too stagy, not natural. Otherwise, a good production and worth seeing. But watch Olivier's Lear to see how it's really done.

The acting was fine. Edmund and the sisters, Regan and Goneril, were played with sufficient nastiness, and I definitely felt Lear's pain. However, there was just a bit too much screaming, and when they weren't screaming, they were mumbling. The set was obviously low budget, which you'd expect from the Beeb (BBC for you Yanks), but it seemed to fit quite well. There was a small discrepancy in the modern-ness of the costumes, some being relatively renaissance and some of them from the twentieth-century (ie. Lear's fool.) All else being equal, I didn't hate it, and that's the main thing.

Considering the fact that the characters in this 'King Lear' are played by some very well-known actors and actresses in England, I was a little worried at first that it would be spoilt as I had seen them playing several other roles on television. However, the acting, especially Ian Holm as Lear and Barbara Flynn and Amanda Redman as Goneril and Regan respectively, is superb, and you can really allow yourself to be 'swept away' with this production. The only real criticism is that Edgar may be viewed as a little too 'soppy' and gullible, and Edmund as being almost 'caricature-like'. The red sets reflect the general tone of the play very accurately, and the fact that it is adapted for television means that there is the bonus of having the storm scenes outside, as opposed to still being inside as is the case with a few productions. Certain parts of the original dialogue are cut, but although this may be confusing if you don't know the play well, the omissions do not affect the overall power of the play. This, along with the Paul Scofield and Laurence Olivier versions, and Jonathan Miller's 1980 film, is one of the best 'King Lear' adaptations around. Each has it's own individual strengths, but this version is definitely worth watching.

How much you enjoy this movie will depend upon how much interest you have in Amy Fisher's story. Absent the fact that it is based upon real events, it is not all that exciting. It is well acted and filmed and makes some interesting comments upon the media, but that's all. From the perspective of realism and professionality, it is the best film made about Amy Fisher, but as a result is far less amusing than the other two films made from the perspective of Amy and Joey. It is more difficult to find humour in the characters when they are more real. This film, vs. the other two, shows equal sympathy (and condemnation) towards all those involved. Thus, as an exploitation film, it is not that great. The liner notes in the booklet about what Fisher and co. are doing now is far more entertaining and bizarre than anything in the film. Regarding the few new minutes added, I can see why they would be edited out of TV broadcasts, but they barely rate anything more than a PG-13.

Watching this film did not leave me wanting to regain lost time, but it's not particularly memorable and I can't picture myself watching it a second time.

I watched this for Drew and she did not disappoint.

This was a very interesting role for her to agree to do...she was quite impressive. Her accent and the way she carried herself was fantastic. I wish it could have gone into more detail...I thought the story was too vague. If I had any questions about what happened they wouldn't really have been answered here...there are too many conflicting stories...it doesn't make sense to me that Amy Fisher was the only person convicted of anything...maybe that's the point?

Drew can do no wrong in my book...I'd watch her paint a fence! If you're an admirer I'd like to suggest you buy this film...if you're not, I'd like to suggest you'd at least rent it. It's worth a peek.

i have all 3 amy fisher movies still have yet to see the alyssa monlina one its coming in the mail soon exicted about that. First and formost i have to say this amy fisher movie is the best by far that i have seen drew was the best amy no one can deny that and the acting is fanstatic for a made for tv movie its incredible. The way drew potrayed amy is the way everyone saw her as a bitchy but innoncent girl who had alot of anger inside. You feel sorry for amy after watching this one (as you do in watching the other one with the one for nbc which i also wrote a review on) the movie potrays everyones acccount which i like it focous more on the scandel itself then the amy fisher story if you want to see that one watch lethal lotltia with noell parker great one also as i said. But by far drew is the best plain and simple no one did as good and no one can deny that!

And believe me, that's about all this movie has going for it. It's your typical low-budget freak/monster B-movie. There is little to nothing in the way of originality in this film and should be avoided by anyone who doesn't love B-movies. It lacks the humor and imagination of many other movies of this genre.

Having said that, though, it does star Bruce Campbell (star of the Evil Dead trilogy) as the hero and just about any movie starring BC is worth watching at least once. There's nothing terribly exciting about his performance here, but... it's Bruce Campbell.

It should also be said that this DVD comes with some excellent extras, considering that it's such a low-budget, relatively unknown, cult film. With many DVDs of this genre, you're lucky if you have any special features at all. Deleted scenes, trailers, commentary, etc. A very nice surprise.

If you loved EVIL DEAD you will like this movie. The DVD has a better quality than the old VHS, but it still could have been better. It also has a trailer. But it says on my DVD comentaries but there isn't any-that is a bummer. Overall good DVD buy it now.

If you are a big fan of action/horror then you should really check this movie out! It's got great acting, awesome action scenes and sometimes very subtle humorous actions by the "Maniac Cop" (Robert Z'dar). This movie is definitly a good one! The two sequels that follow are really good as well!

"The Mummy's Shroud", is one of the lesser known efforts by the famed English Hammer Studios who were responsible for some of the greatest horror films of the late 1950's and 1960's. Their productions were responsible for reviving some of the most unforgettable Universal Studios horror figures like Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman, and The Mummy", in beautiful colour productions that are as popular today as they were 40 years ago. Here it is the Mummy's turn in an admittedly lesser effort than Hammer's classic "The Mummy", of 1959 starring Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.

"The Mummy's Shroud", set in 1920 tells the story of a team of archaeology experts who come across the lost tomb of the boy Pharaoh Kah-To-Bey and unfortunately fall foul of the tomb protector in the guise of Prem, a manservant of the boy once the sacred words are read aloud off the shroud found covering the boy king by the team. The story begins with a flash back sequence to Ancient Egypt and we see the story of how Prem spirited away the boy when his father was killed in a palace coup and taken into the desert for protection where unfortunately the boy dies and is then buried. Returning to 1920 "The Mummy's Shroud", shows the expedition to find this tomb lead by scientist Sir Basil Walden (Andre Morell, a Hammer regular) and bossy business man Stanley Preston (John Phillips) where they not only find the tomb and remove the bodies and the sacred shroud but ignore the dire warning issued to them by Hasmid, a local Bedouin about the consequences for those that violate the tombs of Ancient Egypt. Resulting from this warning Sir Basil is bitten by a snake just after finding the tomb and after a number of days dies of the snake bite poison. Once placed in the Cairo Museum the mummy of Prem is revived when Hasmid chants the sacred oath on the shroud and then proceeds to go on a murderous rampage to kill off the remaining members of the expedition. One by one those who assisted in removing the contents of the tomb to Cairo are eliminated by such grissly means as strangulation, being thrown out of windows and in one terrible scene having photographic acid thrown in his face. Greedy Stanley Preston the real villian of the piece, after repeated attempts to evade the murder investigations and flee for his own safely is murdered in a Cairo sidestreet by the avenging mummy. All ends happily of course thanks to the intervention of remaining members of the party Paul Preston, Stanley's son and Maggie Claire de Sangre who succeed in destroying the Mummy in a very dramatic and beautifuly staged finale.

While the storyline of "The Mummy's Shroud",is the often used one of revenge against the violators of an ancient tomb it is staged in an entertaining manner which although not the best Hammer Mummy film, still retains the interest. The beautiful location photography gives the film an overall authentic look and the Mummy himself played by tall actor Eddie Powell is genuinely a frightening vision in particular during his brutal murders of the digging party. The film boasts some beautiful narration by the great Peter Cushing during the flash back sequences and any participation by this always letter perfect actor aids tremendously in creating the feel of the time. Hammer veteran Michael Ripper, who appeared in more productions for this studio than anyone else also shines in one of the largest and best written characters of his career as Longbarrow, Stanley Preston's nervous and very put upon assistant during his time in Egypt who eventually falls victim to the Mummy's revenge. A very talented character actor all too often playing poachers, inn keepers or grave diggers, Ripper had a long theatrical background that equipped him for far more demanding roles than those usually assigned to him.

While certainly a lesser effort by Hammer Studios and having the distinction of being the last of their productions to be filmed at the historic Bray Studios, "The Mummy's Shroud", does hold the attention and have the creepy atmosphere expected of any Hammer production. It can't compare with the 1959 Christopher Lee effort but in it's own right is an enjoyable horror film for those that like old fashioned thrills with a scary looking lead monster and plenty of background atmosphere. Beware "the beat of the cloth wrapped feet" when the monster seeks revenge in "The Mummy's Shroud".

I have to say, this movie is pretty scarie for 1967! I've seen alot of horror movies, and I find this to be the scarest!!
I don't recomend this movie for kids under 7 years old.
The best part in the movie is when in the end when the mummy comes after Claire {Maggie Kimberly} but of course the hero {David Buick} comes to rescue her. The music in this movie really gets you into the horror mood when Sir Basil {Andre Morrell} is murdered by the mummy when he's in the gypsy's tent.
This is really spooky!!! I feel sorry for one of the expiditioners who was murdered by the mummy in his hotel room. He is so fat and chubby and that's why I like him. Alot of people die in this movie because of the mummy's curse. The only reason why all of them die is because, they distrubed the spirit of the tomb. I feel this is a great movie with good music and acting.

Once again the high quality of Anchor Bay and the extra features turn an otherwise average DVD into something special. The picture quality is quite good and if you like Hammer horror this one is worth a look. I do feel however, that its not one of the better Mummy pictures. The bonus "World of Hammer" episode narrated by Oliver Reed is quite entertaining.

We got this out of the library a few weeks ago and I was appalled to see what counts as "getting along:"

- The big engines get miffed at everyone else and decide to go on strike (end of story).
- An engine is insulted by the helicopter; they have a race, the engine wins, and his engineer makes up a nasty little song to celebrate.
I do not tolerate this kind of behavior in my kids, and I will not tolerate it in a video - my kids have enough negative role models.

Look to George and Martha tapes for better role models in "getting along."

Thomas and Friends has a wonderful video for children to learn how to cooperate and work together. It contains the stories: Old Iron, James in a Mess, Duck Takes Charge, Down the Mine, The Runaway, Better Late Than Never, Tenders and Turntables, Percy Proves a Point, Trust Thomas, and Percy and the Signal. My favorite stories are Percy and the Signal, Duck Takes Charge, and Percy Proves a Point. The video sports George Carlin's excellent narrations. I really enjoy this video and I hope your children will too. I strongly recommend this video.

My son has been watching Thomas videos for about a year, and this one is one of the best. He particularly likes Thomas because of his cheerful manner. In this video, he was introduced to Harold the helicopter, who he also loves.

These videos show how the engines deal with specific problems that they face. I feel that overall the problems are solved in an acceptable manner for children. Sir Topham Hatt serves as a kind of parental figure for the engines and he points out any problems the engines might be having, but he also is quick to praise them for a job well-done.

George Carlin does an excellent job narrating the video, and there are six episodes on the tape. The length (36 minutes) is perfect for my son. He can usually watch the whole video in a single sitting, whereas he will lose interest in a longer movie.

Although there is some disagreement and arguing amongst the engines, this is still an appropriaate tape for young children. I think people will enjoy this and all Thomas & Friends videos as my son and I do.

Wacky! Goofy! Stoooopid!!! Fun! This slasher film parody has me in stitches everytime I watch it. Zane Busby as the cripple who sold her soul to the devil is one of the best character performers of all time. Her facial expressions and side comments crack me up. The late Ann Ramsey (Throw Mama From The Train)as the cafeteria worker brings back memories(?) of mystery meat lunches and creamed whatever that green goop was as part of the high school nutrition program. The few off-color bits in the film are done well and not disgusting or shocking. I've heard and seen worse on late night talk shows! All we needed now was to have Elvira show up as the guidance councillor or school nurse! A job well done on DVD.

Little known and little remembered except by those who used to watch HBO in the 80's. An early spoof of slasher movies, Class Reunion stands out for the very funny cast of well known character actors.

This movie is so funny! Totally corny, but take it and all other National Lampoon films with a grain of salt. I have fond memories of watching this with my mom and little brother when I was 10 or so. I just saw it again the other night on cable and you definitely need to watch the unedited version to get all the laughs out of it!

Tatum O'Neal never fulfilled the promise of her first, delightful role as a child actor in Peter Bogdanovich's Paper Moon. Although she grew into a pleasant looking teenager, some unwise forces -- parents? agents? -- allowed or pushed her into "sexy" roles in terrible pictures like this and 1980's Little Darlings. There seemed to be a very unwholesome interest back in the late 70s/early 80s in pre-teen girl sexuality -- look at movies like these and Brook Shield's Pretty Baby and Blue Lagoon. I don't think you could get away with this kind of leering nonsense in today's climate of greater sensitivity towards child molestation, Jon-Benet Ramsey, etc.

Not too surprisingly, this low budget Canadian mishmash was directed by an older (French) director. It's the ultimate in fantasy for a late middle-aged male -- that a nubile teenager would fall in love with you and throw herself at you (and you of course would heroically refuse to have sex with her). Also that it would rejuvenate you not only romantically and personally, but professionally as well.

Aside from Ms. O'Neal's horribly leaden and awkward performance, there is so much that is wrong and off-key here -- a dreadful script full of lame dialogue and pontification, implausible situations and a cast of supporting actors who look like deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming truck.

Tatum O'Neal (Sarah) is supposed to be a 15 year old girl -- which she probably was at the time of the filming -- but she dresses like an middle-aged woman in loose blouses, dressy shoes and long flowered skirts. Apparently neither the director or costume designer was aware that teenagers in the 80s wore jeans, t-shirts,and sweatshirts. As a result, instead of coming across as an authentic 10th grader, "Sarah" seems to be a adult woman with a high pitched squeaky voice. This takes our focus off the disheartening spectacle of her sexual involvement with a man easily old enough to be her grandfather.

Richard Burton (Ashley), who looks very handsome and fit here, and has a grand theatrical speaking voice, appears pained and uncomfortable (I imagine he had kids younger than Tatum O'Neal), and although he tries mightily to make the character human and sympathetic, he doesn't stand a chance with the lame & embarassing lines he has to spout. To his credit, he comes across as grandfatherly with his co-star and not lecherous, but that tiptoes around the basic problem that a 60 yr old man having a romantic attachment with a 15 yr old girl is sick and destructive.

Speaking of that, where are the authorities -- police, prosecutors, child psychologists etc -- in Toronto anyhow? When Sarah's parents find out she is seeing Ashley, they respond in horror...and lock her in her bedroom (a bedroom that has a huge unlocked window leading to a big branched tree that any teenager could skedaddle down in a minute) but they don't make the slightest attempt to file charges against their daughter's geriatric seducer. Also, Sarah's teenage boyfriend (Michael Wincott) attempts to rape her -- but her parents are unconcerned about this and don't apparently file charges against HIM -- and in turn she bashes him in the head with a large rock and fractures his skull and nothing happens as a result of this either. When she starves herself and threatens sucicide on her 16th birthday, instead of putting her into a psychiatric hospital, her parents allow her to see her elderly boyfriend again.

The worst thing about this type of movie is that it invites us to leer -- even showing us Ms. O'Neal in the nude, quite unnecessarily -- and then wants to overlay the whole thing with a smarmy explanation that it's "true love" and that Sarah is a "woman" because she really loves this senior citizen whom she has known all of one month.

Today this kind of film would probably be made for cable and shown on the Lifetime channel, but hopefully public consciousness is more sensitive these days and no one would make a film glorifying what in fact is not just a crime, but a destructive act of control and manipulation and the objectification of the bodies of very young girls.

In conclusion -- gross, but too dull to be porno.

I agree with another reviewer, this is one of my favorite hard to find videos. I titled this review an American French Film, because of the subject matter. Normally we Americans steer away from the older man, much younger girl romance story. Something the French do with ease. Look at Beau Pere, which you can get right here at Amazon.com. Richard Burton gives a fine performance as the older man while Tatum O'Neil gives us a look at what I consider to be one of, if not her finest performance. A love story for the ages, too bad most ages will never see this film. If you can find this film, buy it. It is a keeper.

This movie has been my all time favorite hard to find video. A story of an innocent youth (Tatum O'Neal) following her heart with no detour due to outside presures as the repectable aging man (Richard Burton) who recaptures his soul through her eyes which inspires him not only in his paintings, but in the heart and soul as well. A must see movie for all ages young and old alike.

Unbelievably awful. Don't be fooled-the ghoulies are hardly in the movie. And when they finally show up for about one minute, it's just sad. The ghoulie effects are pathetic. Avoid at all costs!

A
young inheritor named Jonathan comes into possession of a stately mansion which contains many secrets, inclusive of those kept by his mysterious father, who said to be involved with The Occult, who ran his cult from within the recesses of his house.

The movie begins with a scene of ritual taking place, complete with a huge Pentagram behind The Altar, and a Goetic sigil of Belial on the mantle, in which an infant sacrifice is to take place, which is actually that of The Sorcerer's son, because he fears that one day he will turn to the light and grow to overtake him. He commands one of the robed cultists to come forth with the infant, but she dares disobey, considering the horror of murdering a child; The Sorcerer enraged, telekinetically tears the heart from her chest. He then orders another member to leave his midst after an energy field surrounding the boy resists the death-strike. And so the kindly, though somewhat 'touched' old man sets to raise him as his own unto manhood. Upon maturity, he sets to explore the mansion, and begins finding elements of his father's legacy - in the library, books on Black Magic, ritual tools, personal artifacts such as several medallions, a conjuring staff, and a robe. Bit by bit his natural interests beckon him to experiment with The Dark Arts, with a cover desire to "know what his father was all about", whenever his newlywed wife bids him to be more reticent in uncovering the nefarious rites. But his curiosity drives him on - and then he discovers The Ritual Chambre, and begins making the necessary preparations which yields him almost immediate Power, most noticeable by his glowing green eyes, which in this case, denotes his oneness with The Forces of Darkness. His wife becomes increasingly frightened by his evilution until finally, she decides to leave when he devotes his life to the persuit of The Occult rites. But he invokes his two imps from a Magic Circle to do his bidding, and she is consequently under his complete control.

Next, he invites a few of his friends to attend a feast and revery. Two fool-hearty stoners, a pretentious and 'cocky' guy named Dick {but you can call him "Dick"}, and two vapid girls.

But there was a purpose for them all being there that night beyond the mere dinner and party. They are all to take the place of those cultists for the Necromantic summoning of The Master Warlock. They are all placed under a spell, various imps {"ghoulies"} are called forth, and with everyone's united call, The Sorcerer is brought up from the grave located on the property, which displays a really nice gravestone with a Pentagram crowning it. Afterwards, the spell is temporarily lifted, and they are prepared by going down to the basement as sort of a party ruse, likened playing with a Ouija board for kicks, and Jonathan decides to open a book to conduct a rite from therein, but what they do not know, is this is yet another preparatory procedure to place them in the proper frame of mind of what is to come. A triangle is drawn upon the floor, and the ubiquitous ceremonial magician blindlight garbage of calling forth the name of jehovah in hebrew inunciated 'J H V H' {"joh-heh-vau-heh"} turning clockwise, but of course, the group do not take it seriously, and mock with such things as 'the hokey-pokey', and one of the moronic girls even screams in jest. Quite a pathetic lot. After waiting a little while, it is determined that nothing will occur, so they all decide to return to the kitchen for more beer and marijuana. Unbeknownst to them, the ghoulies appear in the conjuring trigram and are released to roam the grounds.

Bit by bit, the 'ghoulies', which are essentially elementals, manifest one by one to cause havoc and spill the sacrificial blood until all of the guests are transformed into spechtrous participants in a hellish ceremony. The Master Warlock then sets out to reclaim his position as Prime Magician. First by entering the house with a mighty yell to stir the ethers, and one final sacrifice to bring him fully into the flesh, for at this point he resembles a decaying zombie - but with the application of a little transmogrification, a willing victim comes along - "Dick" - the strutting, boorish macho-man fooled by the Sorcerer's illusion of that of a beautiful seductress, followed by a deep kiss - the next thing which occurs, is he finds himself with a tentacle-tongue wrapped around his neck - and the next sacrifice is taken. So he is restored to full vitality, and heads straight to The Altar, where he reclaims his rightful place as Lord of The Manor.
So father and son eventually come face to face - a memorable line spoken by The Sorcerer comes to the fore - "I must admit you show promise, but at your age, I was much...better." A line I know too well. The battle is on, and the son is defeated, as he slowly sinks into The Abyss, but is rescued surprisingly by The Old Man in full ritual garb, who takes over the battle, so he and The Warlock battle Magically until someone is victorious. I will leave it up to the viewer to discern who, for it is actually unclear.

Considered a "B-Movie" by the masses, Ghoulies is highly entertaining, replete with occult themes, and quite comical at times, which makes it a favorite. Blackie Lawless of W.A.S.P. conducted a portion of the soundtrack for the sequal, which, in this reviewer's opinion, is not as amusing as this first film gem.

5 out of 5 Goat Skulls.

All I have to say is WOW. If you only see one movie this year, make it this unbelievably spellbinding horror-thriller about Jonathan Graves, son of Malcolm (the evil one), who calls upon the forces of evil, creating small mucus-covered muppet-type creatures. GHOULIES is the ultimate battle between good and evil. Brilliantly scripted and perfectly cast, the movie gives viewers plenty to think about. It addresses such topics as the supernatural, power, midgets, and parent-child relationships from a fresh and unconventional perspective. Peter Liapis's performance as Jonathan brilliantly juxtaposes the two conflicting sides of Jonathan's personality. If 6 out of 5 stars was an option, ghoulies would have received that honor, no question. Do yourself and all your friends a favor, RENT IT TODAY, or better yet, buy it. You will have no regrets.

"STAR" is my favorite book and I think that all the actors were cast perfectly and were wonderful but the movie and the book are sooo different! The movie was good enough that I read the book, but then realized the movie lacks so much of the detail that makes this story great-which I guess is expected for a TV movie. Knowing the full story makes it easier to like the movie-if you don't you'd think it was cheese. If you are a die-hard romantic, and/or a Jennie fan, this is definitley the movie you'd want to see.

_Star_ is a beautiful movie that can be seen before or after reading the book. The characters are chosen perfectly and the acting is beautiful. However, the chemistry between characters is not what is should be. The actor that plays Spencer Hill has more chemistry with the woman he was tricked into marrying than he does with Crystal, his true love. This video tells the story of Crystal Wyatt, a shockingly stunning true country girl who loves her ranch and Spencer Hill, a handsome veteran of the Korean War who does not like to let anyone down, which the reason why this story ever happens in the first place. The singing in this movie is splendid, as well; it put tears into my eyes. This is my favorite movie and I recommend it full-heartedly.

I love Danielle Steel books more than anything, i find them so intriuging, and star is one of my favorite books, and so i really want to watch this movie, although i have seen the danielle steel movies, fine things, and once in a lifetime, i recommend these movies (and books) to any avid danielle steel reader. If you have any information on where i can find this book, please let me know.....
