Watercolor Postcards

Really enjoyed this movie.

Wish it went on into a mini-series.

I used to find IMDB reviews a reliable predictor of whether the movie was worth my time. I no longer feel that way. I'd taken a chance on a number of movies rated less than 6 and have been glad I ignored the low ratings of what turned out to be solid 6s or greater. Not all people like the same type of movies. Giving a movie a low rating just because it does not turn your crank or you don't like the ending or story line is a disservice if the actors do a good job and the creators have done a good job telling the story. This movie's present rating is a good example of what I am talking about. Another movie that I recently watched, "Dead For A Dollar" is another example of a movie I am glad I watched in spite of the low rating. This movie is also called, "The Home Is Where The Heart Is." I'm glad it was changed to it's present title as it is much more relevant to it's fine plot. I enjoyed watching it. The only actor that I recognized was Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul's Jonathan Banks. The story takes place in small dying Texas Town. I rate it a solid 6, avoiding the temptation to overrate it to counter act the undeserved low ratings. I hope my rate encourages folks to take a second look at lower rated movies.

A few stragglers with no jobs in a soon to be ghost town. The only good thing going for this movie was Bailee Madison's wonderful performance and her predictable tears. It was a horrible story line.

There are some good old actors in this, some good old environment : sunny places in Texas, some good old nice feelings, and some very good ways to shoot with a camera. That's why I wanna help it out here.

Now the young actress is a bad actress. You can see she acts. And that's the worse you can say about an actor. And there are lengths in this movie almost every five minutes.

But let yourself be touched by the tenderness underneath it all.

--- That's all, but here wants more, so I repeat :

This film was intriguing and the actors were very convincing. It appeals to all age groups; from assisted living to age 10 and up. Sunny and Butch aroused an interest as to what and how the film would end. The plot was carried out very well!! Would like to see more of the actors in another film. The relationship between Sunny and Cotton seems authentic and progressive as the situation would actually happen. One really feels for Cotton and wants to help resolve the situation. Jonathan Banks is always a treat and nice to see in a different role.The same with John C. McGinley as a completely different character. Butch and Cotton really click; you want to make everything all right for them. Very well written in that one did not know who was going to do what. Cotton's performance at the end brought tears to my eyes....very believable. Really liked the film a lot!!
