Wild Oats

I loved the first half of this charming comedy. Lange and MacLaine are both splendid in it, and sexy as hell to boot. The second half, though, turned into more of a crime caper which I felt derailed the charm of the first half a bit too much. Still, a really fun movie with some great comedy moments. 4/5

In Secret

This is a dark, depressing, tragic drama, there's no doubt about that. The innate misery of the plot seems to have turned off most reviewers, but I appreciated the tragedy of this film. Isaac, Olsen, Lange, and Felton all did magnificent jobs in the lead roles - you could almost feel their collective pain melting off the screen. I have always loved Olsen, but I'm a new fan of Isaac, who was a marvel in this. i really enjoyed this film, pay no attention to the naysayers. 4/5

Frances

Jessica Lange gives the performance of her life in this chilling portrayal of the life of Frances Farmer. Wow. 4/5

The Vow

This tender romance didn't set off any of my people-behaving-badly bells - it was sweet, charming & well acted. 3.5/5
