Dream for an Insomniac (1996)
90 minutes spent well
I really enjoyed this movie. Maybe it is not entirely realistic, but I don't watch movies for realism. I watch movies for entertainment.
Frankie (Ione Skye) chases after David (Mackenzie Astin), but David obviously seems interested and doesn't let his male pride hide his growing affections for Frankie. I have never seen Ione Skye in a film before, and I really liked her performance. I used to watch Mackenzie Astin on the Facts of Life, and I am glad to see that he has grown into a fine actor. I also liked the other characters in the movie, especially Jennifer Aniston's character. The dialogue in this film was funny and it reminded me of the way my best friend and I talk sometimes. This is a sweet, romantic film which shows the girl going after the man of her dreams (which in real life is so hard to find)!!! The movie is not something you would see happen everyday, but then again, what movie is? If you like romantic comedies, see this movie!
The Good Old Boys (1995)
SEE THIS MOVIE!
I rented this movie 2 years ago, and then I went straight to the movie store to buy it! Tommy Lee Jones is one of my favorite actors. I haven't seen him in a role I didn't like! I was delighted to see that he could write and direct so well. I also love Matt Damon's acting in everything he does.
Matt's character, Cotton, is the nephew of Tommy Lee's character, Hewey. Cotton has a hard time welcoming Hewey back after Hewey spent two years of seeing "beautiful country" on horseback. Uncle Hewey promised Cotton, 16, some things when he was younger and never came through. It's entertaining and enjoyable watching their relationship mend. This is a great family movie that I have shared with my family several times. I suggest you watch it and share it with yours!
