Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead PG-13

Not bad, a cute little 'As if!' movie...kind of entertaining along the way.

Running on Empty PG-13

First off...this says PG-13 but this is the first PG-13 I have seen that had 10 'F' words in it, so it is rated wrong. It was a pretty good story about a family running from the law for 16 years because the parents blew up a napalm lab in the 60's and injured a man...the man wasn't supposed to be there. They try as much as they can to live a normal life, moving from place to place with their two sons. The 17 year old son is played by River Phoenix...I haven't seen alot with him so it was interesting to watch him.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring PG-13

A troop of nine very different and appealing peoples, 2 Men, 4 Hobbits, a Wizard, a Dwarf and an Elf are chosen and come together... this tells the story of part of their long journey to take a powerful and evilly controlled Ring to a mountain to be destroyed. This is not the genre I normally get into, a very mythic tale, but I did read the book in school so I thought I would give the movie a shot, and WOW, I'm so glad I did!! It drew me in and now it is one of my favorite movies! The characters are SO compelling, the acting is great, the musical score is fabulous, the cinematography breathtaking, and the story just won my heart! Not to mention one of the best LOVE stories ever!! The second and third installments continue the saga of the friends and the Ring. I love the whole trilogy and I own all the extended versions. Now I can't wait for the next installment, The Hobbit!! On "My Favorite Movies" & "My 5 Star Action/Adventures" lists. DVD.

Dances With Wolves PG-13

What a masterpiece! The first time viewing this movie I was blown away by this totally intriguing story and cinematography! Costner and the rest of the actors are perfect! The war, the west, the Indians, the scenery..everything is perfect and very moving. Beautifully shot with such an emotional pull. I love the interaction of Costner, a Civil War Lieutenant and the Indian people.... their way of trying to communicate with one another and the friendship they create is wonderfully enjoyable! On "My Favorite Movies", "My 5 Star War Movies" & "My 5 Star Westerns" lists. Blu-ray.
