Affair with a Stranger (1953)
Good movie
This is the first movie I ever saw Jean Simmons in. The movie is somewhat sentimental but still likable. I fell in love with Jean Simmons watching it. Her presence jumps off the screen and you can see the difference between a good actress and a great actress. Presence. Victor Mature is also very good in the role he plays. It is not his genre and you can see that he was wasted by not doing more of these kinds of roles. The rest of the actors in the movie do a very good job as well. I remember when I was watching the movie I really got into routing for their relationship to endure. I really liked the way the story unfolded and the way it came out with flashbacks. All in all a good movie to watch on a Sunday afternoon.
Imaginary Crimes (1994)
A very rare movie treat
To anyone who has ever had a disappointing father yet still was able to get past his shortcomings and love him this is your movie. The power to love is what this movie is about. It is not a cliché type movie though. The power of love does not include forgiveness nor going into agreement with or going along with the person. It is the ability to love what goodness there is available in a person despite all the reasons (their bad characteristics) one should not. This movie is a tear jerker but I found it very uplifting as well. Keitel, D'Onofrio and especially Fairuza Balk are all fantastic. The direction and writing are perfect. It is a rare movie. Because I wouldn't change one bit of it. I'd rate it in my top 25 of all time. It's that good.
