    I AM CRAZY ABOUT EMMY !!!

    We do not find these titles on the video stores here. So its a pain to find Nola as well.But After I'd watched "Mystic River" and "The day after tomorrow" I am completely nuts about Emmy. Thats exactly why I do not want to miss on anything which has anything to do with Emmy.(I definitely understand that this is not a Fan Mail site, But then I am a big bigger biggest Hollywood fan) The only thing that amazes me is the fact that there are not many people commenting on this movie.Just wonder why so? I wish to become a Director one day and direct a movie with Emmy playing the lead.Just hope thats not very long from now.If anyone wants to hear from me, they can contact me at the email address provided. HOPE TO MEET HER ONE DAY. though it sounds like wishful thinking...AMEN

    Wish I would HAve sen it when it came out!

    I just saw this movie on lifetime tonight; before this week seeing all the commercial for it on lifetime I would have never of knew it was out there to be seen. May I say this is one of the few jewels Lifetime has shown in a long time. Not only was the story line interesting enough to keep you watching the acting was great. I though the male lead Ben was great and nice looking in that down to earth boy next door way and not the I'm a male super model worship t my feet way, which is very unique for male role now days that have to be the knight and shinning armer type. Nola she was so much different from many of the charters out there and I loved how her character development through out the story and how she actually learned something in the end.People creating movies think that if th guy is hot or the women is hot and a story is horrible the the movie will still do good and yes that is true but this one had all thing tied in it!

    PLus the whole Ideal of a ***** ( not to let any spoilers out) being clean was real nice. I like the movie and the music to the movie it is amazing to see am movie where the actor actually sings their own songs and sounds good doing it. I would love to see this movie another time and I hope you also pick up a copy of it. If you like lifetime movies you will love this one so much better, it wasn't even made by lifetime.

    Comment on "Nola"

    I thought that "Nola" was a step or two down from movies like, "The Phantom" and "Mystic River". She should stick with feature films on the big screen and musicals. Isn't lifetime movies usually cast with actors that have been around for awhile? All I know is that after seeing "The Phantom" and then "Nola", I was just so let down:-( She seemed almost "average", which she is anything but!! I am hoping that the "Posiedon" will be great, with all of the great cast, including Emma. Kurt Russell and Josh Lucas are wonderful in almost everything they do. Well, I hope I didn't offend anyone, but I had to speak my mind. Emma is just too pretty and talented to be cast in an average, boring role!

    If you rearrange the letters of Nola

    You get Anol. Which pretty much says it all. (Thanks to TA for pointing this out to me).

    Yes, this movie is stupid. But not in the Troll2 funny kind of stupid. It is an hour and a half of pure boredom punctuated by brief episodes of incredulity. Let's get this straight guys. Lawyers in coffee shops do not save the day.

    They drink coffee and get stoned when they go home.

    Girls who work for escort services, are expected to service their clients. They don't get lucky shots with some crap in a sock.

    The average "madam" is not some sweet lady that cares about her workers. She's a user, just like the Johns.

    Almost forgot, the dialogue is just horrible.

    Not what I'd hoped...

    I wanted so badly to like this because I love Emmy Rossum, but seeing her prancing around on a bed in her bra and underwear, swinging a sock with a lock in it at a man in his tightly-whities.... it just sort of ruined it for me. The song she sings is beautiful and she looks lovely as ever, but it was just too implausible a storyline and the script was fairly weak, but Ms. Rossum was a delight, even in the midst of such faults from the script and story.

    I also am a fan of Mary McDonnell's work from Dances With Wolves, but her smugness her seemed rather 1 dimensional; albeit not a great role to begin with.

    I watch movies on Lifetime with some regularity, and this was above-average I'd say, but I can't say I'd watch it again. It's too bad - with this cast it could've been much better.
