Love’s Unending Legacy - 2007

Mystique — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:54:24 +0000

Are you familiar with the Love Comes Softly series of films based on books by Janet Ochs and directed by Michael Landon Jr.? Well, here’s to a group of films that seem to be a hotbed of controversy despite their simplicity and beauty. Maybe you don’t see how these movies could be controversial. Let me [...]

Unbreakable - 2000

Mystique — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 23:18:28 +0000

In what was originally billed as a paranormal thriller, Bruce Willis stars as David Dunn, a man who cannot be injured. It starts when he’s the only passenger on a doomed train to survive a horrific accident. He returns home to his estranged wife and doting son, only to have to face questions about how [...]

K-Pax - 2000

Mystique — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 19:01:42 +0000

I could not help but love this movie about a gentle alien (maybe) forced into a mental hospital. Kevin Spacey played the lead role of Prot. I can’t say enough good things about him and the role. Now I’m a big Kevin Spacey fan and have been scanning Netflix to order all the other films [...]

Commune - 2004

Mystique — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 15:11:14 +0000

I borrowed this movie from Netflix for two reasons. The first and most honest reason was that I’ve always been curious about communes. I was a San Francisco Bay Area teenager in the sixties and identified with hippies and flower children. But by the time I moved to the Haight Ashbury in the early seventies, [...]

Darshan: The Embrace - 2005

Mystique — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 06:40:15 +0000

I’m totally into learning about gurus these days. I created a Squidoo page called Gurus Online and added gurus and a big photo of Paramahansa Yogananda to my MySpace page. I even wrote a bit about Paramahansa Yogananda on my blog, Geniyyah Healing. So when I came across YouTube videos of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, also [...]

Concert for George - 2003

Mystique — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 11:05:13 +0000

Back in the day, George Harrison was my favorite Beatle. I was eleven years old on February 9, 1964, the day the Beatles appeared on American TV for the first time, on the Ed Sullivan Show. I reluctantly joined the rest of my family in front of the television set, not understanding what was about [...]

Who Killed The Electric Car? - 2006

Mystique — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 03:19:24 +0000

I drive a junker, and it is all I can afford at this time in my life. I would love to have a better vehicle. So when I watched this movie about beautiful, attractive electric cars being demolished by an automobile manufacturer, I was bug-eyed to be sure. There were hundreds of cars that looked [...]

The Descent (2006)

Mystique — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 05:18:42 +0000

The Descent answers the question: How tough can a woman be? Director Neil Marshall chose to make this movie with an all-female cast. The women depicted are brave to the point of being foolhardy nutcases, but that’s only my opinion. The movie starts with three friends having fun while whitewater rafting in Scotland. Sarah (Shauna MacDonald) [...]

Waitress (2007)

Mystique — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 06:36:08 +0000

A pregnant woman who doesn’t want to be a mother; a husband who doesn’t know how to care about his wife, two ditzy waitresses, a handsome doctor, and a sweet little old man. These are a few of the characters in the odd but intriguing chick flick melodrama, Waitress. Keri Russell stars as Jenna, a young [...]

The Appaloosa (1966)

Mystique — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 08:54:16 +0000

If you want to see a gorgeous horse, watch The Appaloosa. The horse is silky black in front with the brightest, most intelligent looking eyes. I was mesmerized by this horse and didn’t get to see enough of him. He kept getting kidnapped, which is what made the story move. The rear of this horse [...]
