  • Three Amigos

    Three Amigos

    Three Amigos


    Genre: Comedy, Western
    TMDB Rating: 63%

    Our Review: ✔ Watched it on 12-01-2023 (PS, HS, CB, ASB in Burlington. Long family history with this movie! We are always entertained by the humor and joy of this fine comedy. Enjoyment rating: 4 stars.

    Clean Review: From a clean standpoint, there are a few issues; less than many mainstream movies though. There is some cleavage in places, brief references to unmarried sex, and there is violence in a few spots. It all fits together pretty well overall, and is still relatively “tame” for most audiences. Perhaps consider young impressionable children. Clean Rating: 3.5.

    TMDB: A trio of unemployed silent film actors are mistaken for real heroes by a small Mexican village in search of someone to stop a malevolent bandit.

  • Forgotten Love

    Forgotten Love

    2023, 2h 20m


    Genre: Drama, Romance
    TMDB Rating: 82%

    Our Review: Watched it on 11-12-2023 with HS, ASB, and CB in Burlington. It’s a Netflix film. “Forgotten Love” (Polish: Znachor, meaning “The Quack”) is a 2023 Polish film directed by Michał Gazda. It is an adaptation of the novel Znachor by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz. It has received very positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. It was a top film in 59 countries the first week it came out. A romantic drama, the film explores themes of love, loss, and the power of memories. If you’re a fan of foreign films, you’ll love this one! The story and acting are excellent. The main characters suffer incredible losses, yet a happy and emotionally moving ending comes to prevail. It’s an incredibly powerful film! Enjoyment rating: 4.5 stars.

    Clean Review: From a clean standpoint, there are a couple of scenes that portray couples starting to get intimate, but in truth, they are kept in their place so to speak. There is also great loss throughout the first 3/4 of the film, and some graphic scenes of medical procedures. On morality levels, this is a fairly average film. Adults, view it at your discretion and we hope these comments help you decide. Possibly not suitable for children or young teens. Clean Rating: 3.

    TMDB: A once-respected surgeon who’s lost his family and his memory gets a chance at redemption when he reconnects with someone from his forgotten past.

  • Little Women

    Little Women

    1949, 2h 1m


    Genre: Classics, Drama
    TMDB Rating: 74%

    Our Comments: 09-29-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). The checkmark means we own it. We enjoyed the loyal and loving relationships in the family and among neighbours. This is a tight-knit family that faces its ups and downs. Jo, played by June Allyson, doesn’t like change, and resists it. Yet so much change happens in the unfolding life of this family. The movie presents a complex and interesting thread of day-to-day life, defining moments, personality conflicts, illness, loss, and romance. The conclusion of the message is that there will be changes and challenges in life, but the human spirit must endeavor to prevail. We overlooked some of the melodrama, given the time in which the movie was made. To be sure, this is a film that has merit. It’s very good! We were torn between giving it a 3.5 or 4 star rating. We settled on 3.5 plus!

    The movie is based on the book. And several versions have been put to film. We will try some of the other releases of Little Women. There are several.

    TMDB: “Louisa May Alcott’s autobiographical account of her life with her three sisters in Concord Mass in the 1860s. With their father fighting in the civil war, the sisters: Jo, Meg, Amy and Beth are at home with their mother. Jo is an outspoken woman for her time. The story is of how the sisters grow up, find love and find their place in the world.”

  • Pillow Talk

    Pillow Talk

    1959, 1h 42m


    Genre: Classics, Comedy
    TMDB Rating: 72%

    My Comments: 08-21-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). Borrowed the set from ASB. A lovely little romp through Big City 1959 through the lives of two people sharing a telephone party line. Rock Hudson plays the playboy at the other end of Doris Day’s line. It’s a funny movie, with a pleasant glimpse back to the late 50’s: scenery, decor, and social setting of the time. Even back then, the sexual revolution was already emerging. And this leads us to the moral dilemma with this movie. A modest adult can certainly deal with the many compromised attitudes and innuendos (both sexual and in the portrayal of alcoholism), but this movie is probably not for impressionable young teens.

    Overall, we enjoyed the movie for its classic feel, its lively energy and comedic delightfulness, but were a bit disappointed in the lack of innocence you usually get with a 50’s film.

    TMDB: “Playboy songwriter Brad Allen’s succession of romances annoys his neighbor, interior designer Jan Morrow, who shares a telephone party line with him and hears all his breezy routines. After Jan unsuccessfully lodges a complaint against him, Brad sets about to seduce her in the guise of a sincere and upstanding Texas rancher. When mutual friend Jonathan discovers that his best friend is moving in on the girl he desires, however, sparks fly.”

    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.”

  • 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)
