The Legend of Billie Jean (1985)
Never Sell Out or Give Up -Reliving my twenties with a smile and a nod to Pat Bentar
Some days I just want to take it easy and remember the good old days when I was a teenager and had no real problems. This film takes me back 20 years, when in the heat of the summer night we used to sneak out the 2nd story window to adventure and excitement.
The acting is believable, characters well cast and film nicely shot. Its a getaway for forty something women, with an awesome but not egotistical heroine, a solid loyal sibling and a sweet sincere romantic guy that we all dream of meeting someday.
The song "Invincible" from the soundtrack by Pat Bentar stirs up even more memories of a time when MTV was young and the short hair cut was a sign of rebellion and the contrary move for strong young women. Thank god I grew up in a time when I didn't have to tattoo my body or pierce my face to show I was tough or different or independent.
Sense and Sensibility (1995)
Well Done, Ms. Thompson!
I enjoy this film over and over again. I am into horses and driving, and the production dept. did an excellent job on all equine aspects. There are 2 lovely Freisians and 2 gorgeous teams, one chestnut, one grey. Period perfect vehicles, harness, grooms and livery. As for those of you who are not so concerned with the quadrupeds, well, there are still lots of wonderful eye candy......antiques, oil paintings and a lovely trip to the scenic UK, albeit a temporary one. No matter my mood, I always come away feeling better after watching this. Very few continuity problems, etc. which means I can look for nuances in the acting performances that I may have missed when I was multitasking during an earlier viewing.
