Legends of the Fall

R, 1994

     This was a great movie. Though it's more than two hours, it didn't really feel like it. I did know it was from a book without looking, just because how the story's told and everything. Brad Pitt is a tragic hero in this film, and he's a good one. Definitely worth watching at least once. I recommend for anyone who's old enough to appreciate the adult content and who enjoys a good story, with its ups and downs. This one's going on my shelf.

This movie is rated R for multiple reasons. I do not suggest for anyone less than the age of eighteen. Make sure you watch this before even thinking about letting your kids.

Dangerous Beauty

R,1998

     I loved this movie. Great for romantics, though one has to keep an open mind concerning societal values. Love condemns and conquers. A story of tragedy and triumph. I recommend for anyone over the age of eighteen, or otherwise old enough to appreciate a movie with adult content.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

R, 2010

     I liked seeing this trilogy onscreen, but I feel the opposite way about the movies as I do the books. I didn't really like the first book but I loved the first movie, and as the movies went on, though they were to an honest degree true to the books, I liked them less, unlike how I felt about the books, which I liked more as they went through the series. The characters' positions and relations are mostly unclear, and I could hardly keep one guy from another the further the story went. I think the series could've been better done onscreen, though the first (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) movie would be hard to beat. Oh, and the ending of the third book and series was much more powerful than the ending portrayed onscreen, it was played down way too much.

The Science of Sex Appeal

TV14, 2009

     I loved this film. I learned a lot and found this documentary very interesting and intriguing. Science at it's best: why marriages last, why marriages fail, why guys can't quite figure girls out - it's all here.
