P.S. Movie Reviews: 'Passionfish' (1992)

Movie: Passionfish (1992)

Director:John Sayles

Rating: 3.5/5 Stars ***'

I have liked every John Sayles movie I have seen thus far, and this one continues with that pattern. A soap-opera actress is paralyzed from the waist down following an auto-collision, and has to face up with her new reality of being confined to a wheelchair and having a constant care-taker around. She meets up with nurse-carer Chantelle and the story goes from there. Check this one out, it is one of Sayles's more serious films.

Brief Movie Review for 'Return of the Secaucus Seven (1979)

Movie: Return of the Secaucus Seven (1979)

Director: John Sayles

Rating 4.5/5 Stars ****'

Well done for a low budget movie, and this was apparently director John Sayles's first movie! This movie is all about the dialogue and character interactions, so don't expect too much action or cinematography or anything of that nature. Apparently the 1983 movie The Big Chill was almost completely based off of this one, so if you liked it you will probably like the original.
