The Evening Star (1996)
It Gave Me Appreciation For The First Movie
I actually saw this movie well before I ever viewed "Terms of Endearment", a movie slightly before my time. I am so glad that I did! Although I was considerably lost during some of the plot line, especially concerning the personal histories of the characters, I am certain I would not have enjoyed it nearly as well if I had viewed "Terms of Endearment" prior. For anyone that has seen the other film and subsequently enjoyed it, I am sure that the sequel doesn't even begin to live up to their expectations. That's not to say that it isn't a movie without merit. There is quite a bit of subtle (as well as not-so-subtle) humor to be found in this movie, and since it is slightly more up-to-date, newer generations might even appreciate it more (GASP!) than the original. It does have a completely different feel to it than its predecessor, though. If "The Evening Star" accomplished nothing else, it peaked my curiosity enough for me to view the first movie, one that I have since fell in love with. "Terms of Endearment" being a film which, although hearing good things about throughout the years, I probably would have never even given a chance if not for stumbling across it's sequel.
Noises Off... (1992)
Whirlwind!
This is one of the best movies I have ever seen! It's very fast-paced, and the comedy doesn't really get going good until towards the middle, but if you just stick with it, it is hilarious! This is one you have to pay close attention to, because so much is happening and you can miss a lot of the action; so don't just half pay attention to it, or you're bound to not like it! The cast is absolutely fantastic in their roles, and play off each other wonderfully. There is so much humor packed into this movie, that I have seen it a number of times and with each viewing, catch something I had previously missed. Most of the people I have tried to get to watch it either just don't "get it", or completely love it! (Definitely watch if you're partial to the theater!)
