    Under The Tuscan Sun

    2003, 1h 26m


    Genre: Romance, Drama
    TMDB Rating: 68%

    Our Comments: √ 06-30-2023. PS, HS in Niagara. Always a lovely movie with a nice story and beautiful scenery. But this last time, I have to say, I’m disappointed in the lax sexuality. Enjoyment rating: 3.5 star.

    TMDB: “After a rough divorce, Frances, a 35 year old book editor from San Francisco takes a tour of Tuscany at the urgings of her friends. On a whim she buys Bramasole, a run down villa in the Tuscan countryside and begins to piece her life together starting with the villa and finds that life sometimes has unexpected ways of giving her everything she wanted.”

    Enjoyment Rating: 3.5 star

    Clean Rating: not yet rated (but caution it advised on a morality level).

  • The Thomas Crown Affair

    The Thomas Crown Affair

    1999, 1h 53m


    Genre: Drama
    TMDB Rating: 67%

    Our Comments: 06-25-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS, NS). It needs to be understood that there are many moral issues (making a sport of theft, strong sexual themes and scenes, etc.). With these comments duly stated, and if the audience is well aware of these issues, then read on. It’s an entertaining premise and a fun, light-hearted exploration of the fantasy of pulling off the perfect heist, with wit and mastery by the wealthy perpetrator (Thomas Crown, played by Pierce Brosnan). Enjoyment rating: 4 star

    TMDB: “A very rich and successful [business man] amuses himself by stealing artwork, but may have met his match in a seductive [insurance investigator].”

    Enjoyment Rating: 4 star

    Clean Rating: 2.5 (not recommended from this standpoint)
