(23,400 posts)"Undercover Blues" It's uproarious fun as Dennis Quaid and Kathleen Turner, ex-U.S. spies turned new parents, are persuaded to take on a case that soon has them juggling dangerous world affairs with diapers and 3 a.m. feedings. Our introduction to Stanley Tucci (he steals every scene he is in)
"Feast of the Seven Fishes" A slice of life story that follows a large Italian family on Christmas Eve as they prepare for the traditional Feast of the Seven Fishes. Big Italian family in West Virginia, featuring an evil-eye casting Grandmother, the uncles who take over the cooking, the bickering, the wine and a sweet love story.
"American Dreamer" 1984 This is a gem. We sat through it twice in the theater (back when you could still do that) Frustrated housewife/writer Cathy Palmer ghostwrites a story about Rebecca Ryan, a dashing international spy, and wins a trip to Paris. While there, she is involved in an accident, and awakens in the hospital believing she IS Rebecca Ryan. Much craziness ensues as she meets the writer of the Rebecca Ryan books, thwarts real international spies, and eventually gets her memory back. starring Tom Conti and JoBeth Williams I would love to find a DVD of this one.
