Movie Review - The Notebook
Wonderful, Romantic and Touching
This has to be the most emotionally beautiful movie of the year.
James Garner and Gena Rowlands are outstanding as the romatic leads in their elderly years dealing with the wife's senile dementia. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are perfect playing the romantic couple in their younger years, as they first meet and are torn apart.
I went through nearly an entire travel-sized package of tissues during this movie. I just cried and cried. It is wonderfully romantic and touching. Just the story of Garner's character dealing with his wife's illness is moving enough. But then add in the story of their life together, and it is brilliant.
Everything in this movie is high quality - the acting, direction and script. I would give it ten stars if the rating here went that high. A definate "must see".

Movie & DVD Review - Pennies From Heaven DVD - Steve Martin
Good Steve Martin Movie
I really enjoyed Steve Martin's "Pennies From Heaven". It is a sad story line. But the songs and dance numbers keep the film moving. Steve Martin is great as the traveling salesman who is having a hard time getting his life together.
Bernadette Peters is fantastic as a women he meets and seduces. It was interesting seeing the choices her character makes. And I think Bernadette Peters did a good job here as an actress.
Also, outstanding was Christopher Walken's performance. Its amazing watching him dance.
The film is very interesting. And it is interesting watching Steven Martin perform in this dramatic role.

Book Review - The Mailroom: Hollywood History from the Bottom Up (New Millennium Audio) by David Rensin, Dan Cashman
Wild Amazing Real Stories of working for the Agents
I listened to the book on tape of The Mailrooom. Different mailroom employees from different Hollywood & New York Agencies give their stories of what it was like to work in the Mailroom and learn to be an Agent. The book starts with some of the older Agents who began way back when Agencies were first formed. Interesting stories about the stars of the 1950s all the way up to present times.
I really liked the stories of the pranks some of the mailroom employees would play on eachother. And some of the horror stories when they made mistakes on the job are really amazing.
The Mailroom is an interesting and amusing book about the inner workings of the Entertainment Business. The stories of how the mailroom employees make it to the top to become Agents are a real lesson in how the industry works.

Music Review - Movin' Out (Based on the Songs and Music of Billy Joel) (2002 Original Broadway Cast) ~ Billy Joel
Fantastic Rock Musical Soundtrack
I loved the soundtrack to Movin Out. If you are a Billy Joel fan you need to listen to this CD. It was great listening to the Broadway musical version of all of Billy Joels songs. Some of them are done in the original style. And other such as "We Didn't Start the Fire" and "Pressure" are performed even in a heavier rock style than originally done. I also really likes "Innocent Man" and "Uptown Girl" on this CD, they both sound great being done in this Broadway version. I am planning on seeing Movin Out when it comes to Los Angeles in the Fall, and I can hardely wait. Based on this CD, it will be a fantastic musical.
