{August 28, 2008}   Wedding for Bella

This movie I watched last night.  It was a complete surprise because is it a good Scott Baio movie!  This movie reminds me of the Big Fat Greek Wedding flavor, but with Italians.  This was a very good and sad move.  Filed under romantic comedy, which I am unsure of why.  It was originally released with a different name, but a strong plot.  The development of the characters in this storyline was surprising and delightful.  I give this movie a 5 out of 5 stars.



{August 28, 2008}   Vanity Fair

This series I have recently watched was the A&E version.  Let me start by saying the acting and all was superb for this series.  I personally didn’t like some of the characters in the story itself, which is my personal opinion.  There is nothing wrong the series, but my dislike with some of the characters including the main character.  Also the secondary female lead seems to be a victim-like.  My rating: 3 out of 5 stars.



{August 21, 2008}   North and South

This is a BBC series that I have recently watched on Netflex.  It is a four part mini series in which a girl travels with her family north to a mill town.  Her father teaches and her mother ails.  Margaret Hale shows spunk and courage in helping the mill town.  She goes from helping the workers to helping one of the masters.  Mr. Thorton, shown to be harsh from the beginning, one starts to see the methods to his madnesses.  When Margaret suffers great losses, she moves to London with her cousin.  With the mill with money problems, it is hard to see the way out of the mess.  The show ends the happy ending of course, and it makes we want to go pick the book up that this is based on.  Five out of Five stars
