Lady Sings the Blues (1972)
Did I see the same movie?
This was a wonderful star-making vehicle for Diana Ross but the worst thing that could have happened to the legend of Billie Holiday. Billie was big, bold, gutsy and full of life. Diana Ross plays her as a sweet aenimic victim. The look is great and the music, not bad, considering. But it has zero to do with Billie Holiday and it takes a lot of nerve to try and improve on the original.
A Walk in the Clouds (1995)
in a word: Yuck!
This is a plot? Why does the father have a thicker accent than the grandfather? Why do they have accents at all if they've been in Napa for years? Why is the girl in a negligee fighting frost when moments before she makes Keanu look away? Why is Keanu the only one to check the ancient vines after the fire?
How many Mexican families owned winerys in the Napa Valley in 1945? Very pretty in a Hallmark special kind of way but not much meat.
