Where the Heart Is
This was one of those movies I saw on TV one time and really liked and then forgot about. I'm really glad that I rediscovered it! Natalie Portman plays Novalee Nation, a pregnant teen is abandoned by her boyfriend at a Wal-Mart in Oklahoma, where she eventually gives birth. It sounds weird but it's really touching.
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Last Monday I watched the new show Smash,which is about the process of making a musical about the life of Norma Jean Baker a.k.a Marilyn Monroe. It inspired me to watch this movie the next day. This was my first Marilyn Monroe movie and I really enjoyed it. it was just a fun movie. The plot wasn't intense or anything but it was very entertaining.
Much Ado About Nothing
I heard about this movie awhile ago but I couldn't find it anywhere-so I was excited that it was on Netflix. It is-of course- based on Shakespeare's play and has an all-star cast. Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington and Keanu Reeves are all in this movie as well as Kate Beckinsale in her first role( don't quote me on that!) I think it is set a couple hundred years after Shakespeare wrote it but other than that it is pretty true to the play. The verbal sparring match between Beatrice and Benedick is hilarious!
The Taming of the Shrew
This movie stars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton and was directed by Franco Zefferelli, who directed Romeo and Juliet in 1968. Need I say more?
That's it for now. Check back for more reviews because I'm definitely going to watch more movies!
