Bed of Roses (1996)

In “Bed of Roses,” Mary Stuart Masterson stars as Lisa Wheeler, a career woman who has no interest in love. None. Whatsoever. When she receives a gorgeous bouquet of flowers at work, with no card, it drives her nuts – who would be sending her flowers, and why? Her boyfriend-of-convenience claims no knowledge, and she only has one good friend, who couldn’t afford that type of extravagance. Who sent them? Driven to the brink of distraction, she goes to the floral shop where the flowers originated. They can’t find any record of the order, and suggest that she talk to … Continue reading →

More on Elizabeth Taylor

Earlier this week, we lost a true legend – Elizabeth Taylor. I blogged briefly about her star as a child star then her transition to adult roles. I had just touched on her first four marriages when I mentioned Eddie Fisher. Oh, the Eddie Fisher thing caused quite a scandal. Fisher was good friends with Todd and when the young producer died in a plane crash, he offered consolation to Taylor, the young widow.

And while many of them will make more as high school drop outs that most of us with diplomas, there is a certain pride in finishing school. Christian Slater was one of those that realized that. The new star of NBC’s “My Own Worst Enemy” told Parade Magazine that he had to “swallow his pride” and go back to school with students much younger than himself … Continue reading →

Untamed Heart (1993)

I liked it—I liked it not. I liked it—I liked it not. “Untamed Heart” was one of those movies that left me confused. I really liked the parts I liked, and really hated the parts I hated. I guess I should elaborate, huh? Marisa Tomei stars as Caroline, a waitress in a seedy diner. Her best friend is Cindy (Rosie Perez) and together they try to figure out life—Caroline’s is a mess. She’s dumped by guy after guy, she’s trying to finish beauty school and can’t seem to manage that, and she wonders if she’s just doomed to failure. One … Continue reading →
