Wait Until Dark, a review by Dragonfire

My Thoughts

This is a very well done suspenseful movie.  Some scenes move a bit slower while everything is being set up, but it works wonderfully overall.  All but a few scenes are set in Susy's apartment which helps to build the tension, especially later in the movie.  I didn't find the movie to be suspenseful at all, and I was genuinely surprised by a few things that happened.  At one point there is a..jump moment.  This one is very well done and works perfectly with everything that is going on that the time.  Susy's husband did annoy me a bit with his attitude toward her.  I get that he is trying to get her to be able to take care of herself and not be dependent, but he is a bit harsh at times.  Overall, this is a very well done thriller that deserves to be seen.

 

I did get a review posted on Epinions.

Legally Blonde, a review by DJ Doena

September, 7th


Reese Witherspoon    ...    Elle Woods
Luke Wilson   ...    Emmett
Selma Blair   ...    Vivian
Matthew Davis   ...    Warner
Victor Garber   ...    Professor Callahan
Jennifer Coolidge   ...    Paulette
Holland Taylor   ...    Professor Stromwell
Ali Larter   ...    Brooke Taylor Windham

Synopsis: Elle Woods's dream is it to marry her boyfriend Warner Huntington III. But he has different plans. He dumps her because he wants to marry "a Jackie, not a Marilyn". And because she wants to prove her worth to him she also matriculates on Harvard Law School. Elle is not dumb, but she is the prototypical California Barbie and most people make her feel it - until she accepts the challenge.

My Opinion: I love this movie. It's so perfectly harmless yet Reese is so cute in it. I especially like the time when she starts out at Harvard and is so different from every one else and nobody really knows what to make of her; or the scene where everyone has a black PC notebook and she sits between them all (already looking different with her parrot-coloured clothes) and opens her orange MacBook.
