Movie Recommendation for Fans of Sophia Loren: Sunflower (1970)
But the sunflower has more than one love story.
Do you enjoy old movies? Are you also a fan of Sophia Loren? If so, you may have already seen this film, but if you haven't, it comes highly recommended. (That means my husband liked it! ☺) It's a very moving love story about a newly wedded couple. The woman's husband went to war and did not return home. Even though others tell her he is probably dead, she believes her husband is alive and sets out to prove it. "In the Soviet Union, Giovanna visits the sunflower fields, where there is supposedly one flower for each fallen Italian soldier, and where the Germans forced the Italians to dig their own mass graves." (Quote Source)
That's it! No spoilers. That's all you'll get out of me, except to say that, this movie would make a great addition to your personal video library. Ms. Loren has starred in many movies that just didn't enough publicity or airtime. This is one of them.

Review of Small Island (2009), a BBC Masterpiece Theater TV Drama Series
"Small Island" is a two-part drama adapted for television, included in the BBC Masterpiece Classic Collection, based on a novel by the same title written by Andrea Levy.
The setting is the 1940s; during and after the World War II - Jamaica and London.
* Naomie Harris plays Hortense. She is something else!!
* David Oyelowo plays Gilbert, the fiancé, scratch that ex-fiancé … dot dot dash … husband of “convenience”.
My one word to describe this masterpiece? Delightful!
Most memorable line? “Gilbert! I'm perishin' in this bed!” :)

Hollywood Screen Legends and Icons: Marilyn Monroe (June 1, 1926 – August 4, 1962)
♥
This marvelous timeline of photographs ~ "A picture of Marilyn for every year she was alive, 1926-1962." ~ source
How to watch and stream Marilyn Monroe movies
♥
1. Marilyn Monroe was born June 1, 1926, Los Angeles, California.
♥
2. Ms. Monroe feared that viewers would think of her as about a "frivolous fool", so she studied and rehearsed earnestly at various acting studios.
♥
3. Despite the fact that Marilyn Monroe is considered a sex symbol, she confessed in her diaries: "I was always very physically clamped. I have always been sure that something is wrong with me."
♥
Image credit: "A teenage Norma Jeane, later known as Marilyn Monroe. Circa 1940." Found on Pinterest
♥
4. Marilyn Monroe loved to read. More than 400 books were in her personal library. She did not finish high school and felt the need to continue her education on her own, not only to quench her thirst for knowledge but in order to be on par with others who were blessed to complete a formal education program.
♥
5. Before becoming a famous actress, she worked at an aircraft factory, during the World War II. Her job was crucial, She was checked the serviceability of parachutes. One of the photographers, who was looking for "fresh faces" noticed her there. The rest, as they say, is history.
♥
6. Marilyn Monroe ate very little and could spend an entire day drinking only orange juice. Yet she has never been skinny, according to today's “perfect size” standards (say size 5 by comparison to today's slim petite almost emaciated models who wear a size 2).
♥
7. In order to become the wife of her third husband, Marilyn Monroe converted to Judaism. She was fond of Arthur Miller and trust him a lot. It was his betrayal that completely undermined her faith in people.
♥
Over half a century later, Marilyn Monroe is still revered as a Hollywood legend, an ideal American beauty / diva. Her popularity has not dwindled. It is a pity that her life ended up so early or to quote another diva, Sir Elton John, she was like a “candle in the wind”.

Disney's Cruella Movie Review (Reblog)
If you watched “101 Dalmatians” don't expect the same kind of movie. In “101 Dalmatians”, the villainess was Cruella De Vil, the name is a derivative of Cruel Devil and she was really wicked! However, in “Cruella”, a baby named Estella is born who is nicknamed Cruella. She is an unwanted child, her own mother tries to dispose of her, but she lives. She grows up to be “opinionated, rebellious and strong-willed” and she's out for revenge.
Yeah. Uhhh … not a typical “Disney wholesome kiddie” plot. Sort of seems like it was made for an adult audience. I mean ... I would watch this movie. But I'm not sure I'd recommend it for children under the age of 12. But that's just me. Also, I would watch it because I'm a huge fan of Emma Thompson (not Emma Stone). Emma Thompson is an enormously talented British actress who brings class and elegance to any film she stars in.

Best Kevin Costner Movies (Reblog)
I always like to check the lists of others to see if I agree. I can't believe The Manual ranked "Dances With Wolves" as Number Two on their list of best Kevin Costner movies. I totally disagree! It's Number One! Nevertheless, they produced a great list. I've seen every movie on the list EXCEPT the one they ranked as Number One. LOL. ☺
I also agree with The Manual that Kevin Costner is the quintessential All-American guy. Even when he's not playing an American. Yes! There was a movie where he was not an American.
Do you know which movie I'm talking about? LOL.☺

Six (6) Movie Reviews from The Entertainment Factor (Reblog)
Every now and then I try to show some support for fellow bloggers who publish blogs using Blogspot. The Entertainment Factor publishes a wide range of reviews - movies, TV shows, music, and video games. I clicked on the link for FILM REVIEWS. There is interesting the posts in this section of the blog. By percentage. The reviews are sorted by score so I started with the highest score, 100%, and started working my way down. I searched for movies that I had watched to see if I agreed with TEF's recommendations. Found 6 movies that I enjoyed watching and it seems TEF agrees with me.
EXCERPT: "After the death of his father, and the abdication of his elder brother, George (Colin Firth), or Bertie to his friends, is forced to assume the throne on the eve of World War II. This is the true story of King George VI, who led Britain through war. However, he had a very difficult impediment to overcome before he could make his mark in history. A speech impediment. It's quite obvious that any great leader needs to be an equally great speechmaker, so, the stammering sovereign's wife, Queen Elizabeth enlists the help of australian speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) who, through some unusual techniques and by offering his sincere friendship, helps George overcome not just his stammer, but also the roots of all his problems, fear and insecurity."

Classic Movies: The Wreck of the Mary Deare (1959) (Reblog)
I heart classic movies.
- True stories about shipwrecks or ships lost at sea always tantalize you. You just got to know what happened! However, if you never really quite know all the truth, you can always make something up!
- The Wreck of the Mary Deare is a classic movie that stars two powerhouse American actors, Gary Cooper (1901 - 1961) and Charlton Heston (1923 - 2008). Based on a novel by Ralph Hammond Innes.

Black Widow was actually pretty good for a marvel movie. It’s a great spy thriller the stunts are outrageous and Pugh steals the show.

FLOWERS OF SHANGHAI (1998) - Criterion Collection (Reblog)
