Schmitty at the Movies

Today, I review two films: Rachel Getting Married (starring the beautiful Anne Hathaway) and Nights at Rodanthe (Starring Richard Gere and Diane Lane). Although they fall within the so-called "chick flick" genre, I feel they appeal to men as well as women -- who are equal. And both deserve equal rights and equal pay for equal work.

Rachel Getting Married: This film is about a recovering substance-abuser who returns home just in time for her sister's wedding. It held me spellbound. Brimming with stinging laughs and tears, and swirling -- yet healing -- music, Jonathan Demme directs his best film in years. Five stars out of Five.

Nights at Rodanthe: Richard Gere is at his sexiest. Not since Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants II have I seen such a deeply moving motion picture about how important it is that we express our emotions to one another. Life it too short to keep our feelings bottled up. If you love someone (whether it is a same sex love or an opposite sex love) you must tell him or her. A genuine heartfelt romance for the ages. It sent me soaring to heaven. Five stars out of Five.
