Princess Protection Program (Royal B.F.F. Extended Edition) (2009) Disney has been hyping "Princess Protection Program" for quite some time.  If you ever tune into the Disney channel every other promotion is for this film.  I even caught promotions for the made-for-TV on the A&E and HGTV channels.  The promotions actually worked as I became at least semi-interested in seeing the film.  I have been a fan of Disney Channel Original movies for quite some time.  The Halloweentown series, "Cadet Kelly" and "Right On Track" are just a few of my favorites.  Unfortunately, "Princess Protection Program" doesn't quite live up to the Disney Channel Original standard. The film is entirely predictable.  This is usually to be expected of a Disney film as to keep it in the reach of children.  However, normally there is something in the Disney films that can keep adults interested.  This film however is purely for ...

Snow Angels "Snow Angels" is an independent film from Warner Bros.  It is based on the novel by Stewart O'Nan, which was moderately successful.  This film was released in 2007 as a limited engagement and barely grossed over $100,000 at the box office.  The film has all the key elements of a successful film, but in the end lacks that x-factor that keeps audiences enthralled. Writer-director, David Gordon Green, adapts the novel to the screen.  Green, who is more notable as the director of "Pineapple Express" and "Undertow," does an extremely good job of capturing terrific performances from his actors.  It doesn't hurt when you have some good actors. Annie (Kate Beckinsale) works as a waitress in a Chinese restaurant and raises her daughter, Tara (Gracie Hudson) by herself.  She left her alcoholic, abusive husband, Glenn (Sam Rockwell) and took on a married boyfriend, ...

I’ve been fascinated by Bettie Page for years.  I can’t really remember where I first saw her images—hot poses that were somehow laced with self-deprecating humor as if she and her viewers were sharing a private joke.  I’ve always viewed her as sexy, but not a sex object.  Betty was always the kind of girl I felt certain I’d like to get to know.  And weirdly enough, it’s always seemed that getting to know her would be easier than getting to know Marilyn Monroe, who was a contemporary and attracting the same kind of male attention. There was always something of the girl-next-door about Bettie Page—a feeling that if you left your house at just the right moment you’d be able to spot her either arriving or departing—but only for a moment because she’d be gone while you were still trying ...

Nicholls also directed a film adaptation of O’Neill’s “Mourning Becomes Electra,” in 1947. Superficially, the film is the story of the crew of the British freighter, “The Glencairn”, shortly after the start of World War II. However, “The Long Voyage Home” is less a story film, than a visual tone poem of men escaping the realities of life on land, through an addiction to life at sea.
