"A Lot Like Love" Is Light Enough to Fly Away and Never Be Missed By : Ed Bagley "A Lot Like Love" chronicles the indecision of two young adults who are misguided and muddled in both their careers and love life. They haul off and do nothing with themselves and then wonder why they are not happy. No wonder they are confused about love. They deserve each other. See this film once and move on. "A Man for All Seasons" Demonstrates What Integrity Should Be in the Middle Ages and Now By : Ed Bagley A Man for All Seasons poses the question: What would a man sacrifice for his principles? When Henry VIII seeks approval to divorce his wife and marry Anne Boleyn, his new Chancellor and Cardinal—Sir Thomas More—stands in his way. In the end, Sir Thomas becomes the only person in England who will die for his principles. A Man for All Seasons won 6 Oscars at the 1967 Academy Awards. "Bad Credit" Credit Cards: How You Can Avoid High Fees By : Jeff Weber Individuals with problematic credit histories often suffer unfairly from high mortgage, insurance, and car loan rates. On top of that, they have difficulty getting approved for credit cards. The whole situation can get extremely frustrating. Frequently, I get emails from consumers wondering what they can do to rebuild their credit. The first thing I tell them is to get a credit card designed for people with bad credit. The second thing I tell them is written in bold: READ THE... "Breakfast on Pluto" Is Really Not About an Alien from Outer Space By : Ed Bagley "Breakfast on Pluto" is a gender preference movie about a boy who really wants to be a girl, and settles for being a transvestite trying to find a place in a world that curses his very existence. I endured Boys Don't Cry and Transamerica and am pleased to say I did not have to endure Breakfast on Pluto. I think that Neil Jordan is the reason why. This film is worth viewing for its message: to thine ownself be true. "Coach Carter" Sends an Outstanding Message About a Coach with Integrity, Honor and Goodness By : Ed Bagley Samuel L. Jackson plays Coach Ken Carter in a good sports drama with an outstanding message for today's high school basketball players who see playing with the pros as their only objective in life.

"Ed Wood" Is a Very Strange Movie About a Very Strange Real Life Director By : Ed Bagley "Ed Wood" is a biographical movie about Edward D. Wood, Jr. who has been dubbed the worst director in the history of filmmaking.

"Lost in Translation" Makes the Meaning of Life Sound Elusive By : Ed Bagley "Lost in Translation" was written and directed by Sofia Coppola and won enough awards to fill a grocery cart. Seeing this film, I would not have guessed it would have won so many awards. I gave this film an average rating rather than a good or excellent rating. I wanted real substance in this film and I was left wanting. Learn why in my review. "Meet the Fockers" Gets a Real Boost From De Niro and Hoffman By : Ed Bagley Meet the Fockers is the best comedy I have seen in a long time. This movie could have been easily over-the-top with its descriptive title, but there is no hint of it in the presentation. A believable story line and an all-star cast with former Oscar-winners gave this comedy a real boost of professionalism. "Nanny McPhee" - An Excellent Movie with Magic and a Message for Children By : Ed Bagley In an entertainment world full of trashy and violent video games and movies, Nanny McPhee is everything good about movies for children. You and your children can watch this film without fear of unpleasant and unwanted garbage rooted in sensationalism for ratings and greed. Nanny McPhee is an excellent film with a wonderful message for all children to recognize and understand. "Note To Self" -- Creating A Wedding Time Capsule By : Blake Kritzberg One of the wedding trends that's really revving up brides today is the addition of a time capsule to the wedding prep proceedings. Yes, the wedding time capsule is a growing trend -- to the point where you can buy a pre-made kit from many web sites.

"Roughing" It In Style By : Amy Covington You've seen the Expedia.com commercials with the couple in the beachside bungalow with mosquito nets... and the thought of going on vacation to stay in a tent gives you the creepy crawlies already. Not to worry, you won't need a sleeping bag and a bottle of Off! for this exotic vacation. When was the last time you stayed in an air-conditioned, 790 square-foot tent with wooden floors, embroidered interior canopies, private gardens, outside deck for sunbathing, king size four-p... "Ryan's Daughter" Is a Love Triangle with Passion, Adultery, Rebellion and a Village Idiot By : Ed Bagley "Ryan's Daughter" is a love story that evolves into a love triangle set in the epic splendor of an isolated village on Ireland's scenic Dingle Peninsula.

"The Departed" Is Best Mob Film Since Mario Puzo's "The Godfather" in 1972 By : Ed Bagley Let me get to the most important thing first: Director Martin Scorsese won an Oscar for "The Departed". Scorsese, one of the most accomplished directors of our era, has been nominated for 7 Oscars—5 for Best Director and 2 for Best Screenplay—before winning with The Departed. The Departed is simply the best mob film since Mario Puzo's original Godfather in 1972. "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" Is Difficult to Understand But Rewarding By : Ed Bagley "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" is the story of Eddie (Jon Voight), a simple man living a simple life as a maintenance man who has a regret and an ache in his heart. He dies while trying to save a little girl in an accident, and does not know if he saved her life or not. He awakens in Heaven and finds out the real meaning of his life. A complex but rewarding story and movie. "The Quiet Man" Is a Love Story Set in the Emerald Isle of Ireland By : Ed Bagley No one ever said that filmmaking was easy, only that it could be very good and sometimes enduring, as in "The Quiet Man", starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara with legendary Director John Ford. The Quiet Man was the first American feature to be filmed in Ireland's picturesque countryside. Ford earned his 4th and last Best Director Oscar for The Quiet Man in 1952. See the film and understand why this love story will touch your heart. "Tipping the Velvet" Is First Alternative Lifestyle Film with an Educational Message - Part 1 By : Ed Bagley "Tipping the Velvet" is what some viewers would consider a terrible film about a sinful, raunchy lifestyle, and what I would consider an excellent film despite any apparent raunchiness. The BBC brought this controversial movie to a 5-millon strong mainstream television audience in England. Tipping the Velvet is an incredibly unusual firm because you rarely, if ever, see an alternative lifestyle movie with a happy ending. "Tipping the Velvet" Is First Alternative Lifestyle Film with an Educational Message - Part 2 By : Ed Bagley Based on Sarah Waters' acclaimed debut novel, Tipping the Velvet was adapted by Andrew Davies, an Emmy award-winning British screenwriter who has also written "Doctor Zhivago", "Bridget Jone's Diary", "Sense and Sensibility", "Vanity Fair" and "Pride and Prejudice". Davies is a very talented heavyweight. "To Kill a Mockingbird" Exposes the Destructiveness of Bigotry By : Ed Bagley Gregory Peck won a Best Actor Oscar in this adaptation of Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about white lawyer Atticus Finch defending an innocent African American man accused of raping a white woman. This is a story that illuminates everything that is wrong about hate, prejudice, bigotry, ignorance, stupidity, lack of backbone and lack of a heart. "Transamerica" Transsexual Tale Misses Opportunity to Inform and Educate Viewers By : Ed Bagley There are easier films to review than productions involving alternative life styles, and Transamerica is an example. It is one thing to make a comedy or romantic comedy with no other purpose than to entertain viewers, it is quite another to tackle a difficult, controversial subject without assuming some responsibility for making its presentation a positive, productive impact upon viewers. To do less is entertaining but useless. "Who Else Dreams Of Winning The Lottery? You Better Read These Tips..." By : Tanya Renner Who else wants to win the lottery?
