I've gotten some reports that my last post was too negative. Sorry, I'm really mad and I won't talk to anybody around here about this so this blog is saving me! Besides, I changed almost all the names and identifying information. Put your hands in the air and sing with me, "that's what blogs are for........"

Okay folks, let's return to a happier, gentler time. A time for:

Mable's Movie Review 3

Here is the grading system, in case you've forgotten or don't want to go back to earlier reviews. That's understandable. I've made the peppers red! Ooooh pretty.

, the worst thing I've ever seen
,, barely watchable
,,, tolerable if multitasking
,,,, good, but still willing to pause for potty breaks
,,,,, Oscars! Oscars! Oscars!

I have several movies sitting here waiting for me to view and review, but I was only able to see one this past weekend:

I Am Sam
At the time this film came out I wasn't interested in seeing it. I loved Rainman and didn't want to see Sean Penn's version. Also, this just seemed like another in a long, boring list of Michelle Pfieffer movies that all blur together. What brought me to order this movie from Netflix was Dakota Fanning. She is currently my favorite actress followed closely by her little sister, Elle (see The Door in the Floor. No, first read A Widow for one Year, THEN see TDITF) Dakota steals any movie she's in. I love her. She is priceless and I hope she has a nice, normal life and doesn't turn into a monster. I Am Sam was was good if you can suspend your belief that this mentally challenged man (autism +) who bussed tables at Starbucks could afford his apartment and raise a daughter from infancy who turns out to be Dakota Fanning. I've had babies, it's really hard taking care of them and I was prepared. Well, except for the one born on the bathroom floor, but that's another post.... I knew everything was going to be alright when I saw Laura Dern, though. She just had to be what the situation needed to make it all okay again. Michelle Pfieffer is soooooo unlikable as a rich, selfish attorney and absentee mother. If you like Dakota you'll like this movie, she MAKES this movie. If you don't like her, skip it, by all means. ,,,
