Rating:  - Their Last Sunset Together
This is a charming film that is also inspirational and family friendly. It reminded me somewhat of a cross between a West Texas BREAKING AWAY and a PG rated THE LAST PICTURE SHOW. The movie centers on four young men who in their middle school years made a pact to leave their tiny town for LA the Monday after high school graduation and graduation weekend has arrived along with some doubts as to whether they all really want to or should leave town. The four boys are all quite different and probably ... Read More
Rating: - Good film from the maker of Secondhand Lions
After seeing the impressive and wonderful "Secondhand Lions," I was interested to see the director's other work. He mentioned "Dancer, Texas" in the Lions commentary, so I rented it recently.

Rating: - A Wonderful Place to Visit
I had never heard of this movie until its trailer appeared on another film I watched. It looked entertaining. I was surprised by how good it was. One of the reviews referred to it as being low key. It is. It's a quiet movie in that there's no violence, not much cussing and no sex. But, you know what? I like movies like that. This film takes a three day period of time in the lives of four high school grads who are determined to leave their hometown. In this period of time they consider reasons for leaving and ...
