"Reign on Me" starring Don Cheadle and Adam Sandler
This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Cheadle and Sandler both did crazy impressive acting. This is the kind of movie that pulls you in by the heart and doesn't let go.
This is a definite purchase for me.

Country Girl Movie Review
"The Pursuit of Happyness" starring Will Smith
This movie was so heartwrenching and spirit-lifting at the same time. I found myself wringing my hands for the main character, just willing something good to come his way.
It is very definitely worth the rental. Possibly even consider adding it to your personal movie library.

Country Girl Movie Review
"Music & Lyrics" (Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore)
I really liked this movie for several reasons - and not all of them related to the movie itself. First I did like it for the story and the happy ending. Who wouldn't? Secondly, with a nod to Here's the 80's and its creators Lorraine and JP, the soundtrack was absolute heaven to this 80's era kid.
But you want to know what made me enjoy this movie even more? The fact that it reminded me that I still like Hugh Grant - despite his very public (and hysterically funny) solicitation incident while he was dating the unbelievably beautiful model Elizabeth Hurley. He's still a great actor and he nailed the has-been 80's pop star "spot on" - as those across the pond would say.
And who doesn't love Drew Barrymore? She's endearing (as always) and I totally related to her (based on previous personal experience during my single years). The funniest scene in the movie (to me) was the scene in the hotel ladies' room when she told Hugh, "Look at me, I can't go out there like this. I haven't showered in days, my clothes must reek, and there are bugs in my teeth from the helicopter!" To which Hugh says, "Wait just a moment. I'll be right back." He exits the ladies room and she has this hopeless look on her face and then does the "teeth sucking" thing in an attempt dislodge said errant bugs. Hilarious!! Been there, done that. (No helicopter but a motorcycle - same effect.)
So, although I don't allude to the eschelons pronouncing this movie dubbed with any number of Exalted Koi Heads, I do dub it a great movie that is totally worth the watching.
Maybe I'll give my movie reviews some type of designations - I'll have to think on it a bit.
