The Babysitter's Seduction (1996)
Decent...but boring
SPOILERS??? A movie about a babysitter who sits for two children of a well to do couple.
When the wife dies, they believe it to be a suicide, but then wait...there's no gun powder residue on her hands, so maybe, just maybe she was murdered. The Babysitter's Seduction was much worse than I thought it would be. It had a very obvious plot, and the acting wasn't much to cheer about. The movie itself just dragged on, and I found myself wondering if this movie would ever end. An okay movie for a dreary, rainy day, but this movie is on the low end of Lifetime movie ratings. It just wasn't very impressive and I'm surprised that it got the rating it did. The dad from 7th Heaven is the husband, so it was kind of hard to buy the murderer act.
Empty Cradle (1993)
Good Movie
SPOILERS..........
I watched this one on Lifetime the other night. I had seen the previews for it and thought it looked pretty good. It was. About a young woman(Lori Laughlin) who goes to the hospital to give birth. When she wakes up the next morning, they tell her it died 9 days earlier in her womb, and it weighed only 3 and 1/2 pounds. She finds this a little hard to believe, considering the baby had been kicking on the way to the hospital, and the doctor the night she came in said the baby would weigh about 8 1/2 pounds. Anyhow, mainly the movie is about the nurse who stole her baby. Then the nurse finds out her married lover wanted a boy, so she plans another snatch.
In the end though, it's a happy ending, and the nurse goes to jail. I wish they had showed more of the Lori Laughlin side, I thought they focused too much on the nurse, but overall very good, 7/10.
Taking Lives (2004)
Decent film...but could have been much better.
Possible Spoilers...
FBI Profiler on the track of a serial killer who takes identities. A movie done a million times already. But heh, it has Angelina Jolie and lets not forget Kiefer Sutherland(love that man). I put the DVD on, in the process of putting on my thinking cap to figure out who the murderer is, but wait, I know who the killer is in the first 15 minutes. So, as the movie drags on, I hope maybe Kiefer will bring some light into the film, but he appears for maybe 2 minutes of the film. I'll give the film credit, the beginning is good, but the rest is no fun, because anyone with half a brain can see the killer right before their eyes in the first 1/2 hour of the film. Anyhow, by far not my favorite Angelina movie. If your in an Angelina mood, put on The Bone Collector or Gia, not this. I give it 5/10...hey at least the movie had potential.
Heartbeat (1993)
Okay Movie, nothing to write home about.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS...
I just watched this movie and I thought it was pretty good. About a woman who's husband leaves her because she wants to have their baby, and the other main character, John Ritter, befriends her and eventually they fall in love. Good plot and story line, except the woman in this film was not very good at acting. Maybe it was her I've smoked 1,000 cigs today voice, but she had too much of a wine going on, needless to say, if your hopeless romantic, you'd probably like this film, but don't make your men watch it with you, they may start gagging. Happy ending as well, so that's good. I give it a 6/10
