Plot: Scott (David Selby - DARK SHADOWS, FALCON CREST, RAISE THE TITANIC) has it all - he's a well paid corporate attorney and lives in a nice apartment with a girlfriend who would do anything for him. But David is troubled. He has a vision of a beautiful blonde woman whom he saw four years earlier, but never knew. One morning, without telling anyone, David climbs in his car and sets out to look for "The Girl in Blue" (Maud Adams - OCTOPUSSY, TATTOO, ROLLERBALL, THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN). His search is romantic, exciting, funny and passionate.
This is a story of love and desire - of dreams and memories. It is unguarded ardor, both emotionally and sensual smoldering in the wake of the moment. THE GIRL IN BLUE is a love story of one man's search for the perfect woman and the perfect love. Scorpion Releasing presents this film's first official DVD release, in gorgeous widescreen and approved by the director!
My Thoughts:
It's been awhile since I did my last review, I know I'm very lazy this year on this aspect. For my return as a reviewer I decided to talk about a genre of film I usually don't watch : a love story...
The reason I bought it in the first place is the fact it's a canadian movie made in the seventies and in those years our industry was a good one. The film action happen at Montreal and Burritt's Rapids in Ontario (what a beautifull little town), so they don't try to make believe it's in the USA (for me it's the big reason why the english cinema industry is almost dead in the country now). It's a story about what could have been if...
Scott is a lawyer with a perfect life with his girlfriend (Gay Rowan), but a woman (Maud Adams) he saw very briefly 4 years before taking a ferry continue to haunt his mind. Is it possible that she could have been the woman of his life? This is what he will try to find in this film by researching this woman with the little info he had, but by doing so his actual union will be in jeopardy. Will he find her? Will his couple survive? Sorry I will not give the answers
Like I said this isn't my typical genre of cinema, but I was pleasantly surprise by this film. The story isn't too sugary for a love story and I was able to easilly identify myself with the protagonist and his quest (dreaming about a person briefly seen is something that happen to everybody). The chemistry between the actors (Selby and Rowan) playing the couple is excellent and Maud Adams give also a good performance (even if her part is short). The film location is also well choose (this little ontarian island town is really beautifull or was since this film was made 38 years ago). Good performance also by many character actors that we have seen often in our cinema but always forget their name (except for a young Aubert Pallascio who play the ferry driver).
Not a movie that I can recommand to everybody here, but certainly a film that Kathy or Marie could appreciate.
Rating :
Unrelated but the dvd also had a trailer for another love drama that looks really good : Fools a 1970 movie with Jason Robards and Katherine Ross that I will probably buy also
Mirrors Look deeper into the world of Mirrors with this thrill-packed DVD featuring an unrated cut of the film, plus over an hour of shocking special features, including deleted scenes and an alternate ending you've got to see to believe! Attempting to pick up the shattered pieces of his life, a disgraced former cop (Kiefer Sutherland) takes a routine job guarding the charred ruins of a once-famous department store. But the terrifying images he sees in the store's ornate mirrors will send him on a pulse-pounding mission to unravel the secrets of the building's past...before they destroy his entire life!
My Thoughts: This is a movie I got with a gift card I got for my Birthday. It was a complete blind buy as I never even seen the trailer for it at the time. I grabbed it for 2 reasons. First because a good friend of mine suggested it. and also because it stars Keifer Sutherland of 24 fame. The DVD has both the Theatrical version and the unrated version of the movie. I watched the unrated version. And let me tell you I loved this movie! It is a good story... it has atmosphere... and it does not shy away from the gore either. I thought Kiefer Sutherland was fantastic in it. I will say the movie lost a little something going into the ending of the movie. But not so much to ruin your enjoyment of the movie. I also didn't care much for the very end of the movie. I mean it wasn't really bad... just I would of preferred it to be different.
Guest Stars: Stephanie Romanov Jim Abele Jason Winer Michael Halsey Jonathan Woodward
My Thoughts: An interesting episode. And I like what they did for Connor's character. I remember back when this episode first aired. I was so worried all the way until season 5 started that they ruined the series by giving Angel and the gang Wolfram & Hart. But in the end I was surprised how well it actually worked out for it.
