Kit Kittredge: An American Girl

Friday, November 28th, 2008

This film moves at a fast enough pace to keep all ages happy.

It reveals the era of the Depression with total respect for the people of the era.

The film takes the high road in which moral decisions are clearly understood.

There is also a mystery and it is interesting.

All the acting is fine and there are a great variety of actors of all ages.

This film reminds me that movies are not suppose to be aimed at one particular age group in order to improve ticket sales.

This is just a good old fashioned movie.

10 year old Kit lives in a boarding house her parents own in Cincinnati, Ohio. She has a passion for writing, & dreams of having something of hers put in the local paper someday.

My Sassy Girl

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

All in all, it’s an OK movie on its own.

Not much different from other cheesy romantic movies, other than the fact that this is a remake of the immensely popular Korean movie of the same name.

However, if you compare it to the original one, the pace is much faster and the settings are very different.

I find that the American version lacks the charisma of the 2 main characters, and feels very rushed.

You don’t feel very intimate with them at all, it just feels like another romantic comedy.

The funny scenes in the remake aren’t as funny as the original; it lacks that pace and originality which made the first one so famous.
