Movie Review: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (1947)

-

Synopsis: Walter Mitty uses daydreaming as a way to escape a life of boredom and verbal abuse from his mother, fiancée and others. His dreams of excitement suddenly become too real when he shares a taxi with a woman he met on the train and discovers his life is in danger. Who's in it? The movie stars Danny Kaye , Boris Karloff , Virginia Mayo, Ann Rutherford and Thurston Hall. Review: I remember first watching The Secret Life of Water Mitty about a decade ago with my wife. While I remembered liking it enough to want to see the 2013 Ben Stiller remake (something I have yet to do), I realized that was about all I could recall about the film. So, since I had some time before going into the office this morning, I gave it another try.  Now I remember why I liked it. I have not seen a whole lot of Danny Kaye films, and this is a movie that makes me realize that is a mistake. The movie's script and his role as the title character give him an opportunity to show off his wide range...

Synopsis : Constance Bailey is a talented detective who prefers to work without a partner. However, when a wealthy CEO dies under mysterious circumstances in Malta and she is recruited to help Interpol crack the case, Det. Bailey is paired with a dancer/actor, Sebastion Moore, to pose as one of the company's new executives and enter a corporate dance competition with her "husband." Who's in it? The movie stars Lacey Chabert , Will Kemp , Natasha Babic , Diego Wallraff and Claire Agius. Review: My wife and I recently watched another Lacey Chabert Hallmark movie and, when I saw she had this new one, I decided to add it to our library. My wife and I wound up watching it last night, and it turned out to be a decent choice. There were a couple things I liked about this movie in particular. One of the big ones was the murder mystery. Since the movie doesn't introduce us to the victim ( Steve Abela ) for more than a few seconds prior to his death, all the viewer know...

Synopsis: Mike Roark, the head of the Los Angeles Office of Emergency Management, has his vacation cut short when an earthquake triggers a volcanic eruption in the city. With no time to evacuate, Roark must find a way to stop or divert the steady stream of lava flowing freely through the city streets and the subway tunnels before thousands of people are killed. Who's in it? The movie stars Tommy Lee Jones , Anne Heche , Gaby Hoffmann, Don Cheadle , Jacqueline Kim and John Corbett. Review : I had an opportunity to watch Volcano again yesterday evening and, mostly because there wasn’t much else on at the time, I did just that. I had been a while since I had seen this particular film, and I didn’t remember that much about it other than not liking it as much as Dante's Peak . After re-watching it, I decided it was better than I recalled. I think if there is anything that makes this movie watchable, it is Tommy Lee Jones. He is an actor who is always at his strongest when playing...
