Seems these days there’s a million shows,
of every make and every kind.
Trying to find that perfect one,
it is enough to blow my mind.
I flipped though all the streaming stuff,
I admit I have quite a few.
Searching and scrolling, looking for,
something that’s exciting and new.
After what seemed like an hour,
I found the one I wanted to see.
I leaned back in my recliner,
just my popcorn, my blanket and me.
I woke up three hours later,
the movie played and was gone.
The screen said are you still watching,
would you like to see another one.
With all these choices I have now,
I am afraid I must confess.
I don’t search through them anymore,
I just watch reruns of NCIS.

It is a classic movie destined to be,
unless we all end up enslaved by a government as portrayed in the movie,
then it will be censored most certainly,
making it a crime to possess, never again to be seen.
Its main character is referred to simply as V,
a vaudevillian veteran,
cast vicariously as both victim and villain.
Seen as a terrorist by the government,
seen as a figure of hope to the general population,
seen by me as a powerful message, basically very simple.
"People should not be afraid of their governments,
governments should be afraid of their people."
V For Vendetta in my opinion,
is a movie worth watching for everyone,
even children,
despite the movie's mature R rating,
but I'll let you responsible parents make that decision.

While you were sleeping, 1995.
I am Sandra Bullock, feeling alive.
Whenever I am sad, in any way,
I become Lucy Moderatz that day.
Favorite all time movie and so much more,
Eliminates sadness from every pore,
I do not jump on tracks, but see who does.
Stalk him hard as any soul ever was.
Carpenter brother Jack is my hero.
Escaping my cat life, feeling loved so.
People embrace me. A family again.
This movie for me is a total win.
Movie I enjoy, so totally dear.
I probably watch it eight times a year.

MRS. DOUBTFIRE
There once was a lady named Doubtfire
Who was known to be a real spitfire
She was a nanny
Who would spank your fanny
And still be someone to admire
Mrs. Doubtfire was a real fine nanny
Although a little uncanny
She wore funny clothes
Had a large bulbous nose
And quite an oversize fanny

Poem based on the movie: "In Her Shoes"
Two special sisters
Connected by blood
Two bodies one soul
Exceptional laughs
Shared good times and bad
Big sister sad
Lil' sister fun
Beauty skin deep
Lost and alone
Sisters fight
Sisters love
same shoe size
Maggie
and Rose

Romantic with Action
Yeah that's what I like
Vampire's and Werewolve's
Who come out during the night
Love and Confusion
Fighting to get that girl
Vampire's and Werewolve's
Don't get along in this world
Bella chose Edward over a childhood friend
But Jacob never stopped trying to impress her in the end
Twilight is my movie
I watch it all the time
Vampire's and Werewolve's
I really don't mind
Watching them fight, over just one girl
Is really romantic
Even in this broken down world.

And Three directors
Pursued day and night

Favorite Movie
Ernest Hemingway's book,
"A Farewell To Arms" was
made for movie theaters
and stirred my emotions
in the year 'fifty-eight.
It was a big hit then.
Since I was with child,
Catherine awakened
such deep maternal
feelings inside me.
I felt how she felt.
Sad times ahead.
Baby born dead;
mother passes.
So traumatic.
Broken hearts;
sober scenes
full of grief.
My eyes,
full of
tears.

Pretty Woman
Oh, pretty woman
You have caught my eye
On a business trip
And need a tour guide
With beauty and wit
Week rendezvous
Evening delight
Dining, fine wine,
Falling in love
We're from two
Different
Worlds dear, but
Say you'll
Stay with
Me

better from the Administrators...
I have no idea where the results are? Nor where the contest is? Thank you all for
entering. Judy

Debbie Reynolds won my heart when I was twelve.
The Unsinkable Molly Brown, her role.
Her spirited acting did into my imagination delve.
Her voice and expressions shone on a grassy knoll.
Raw enthusiasm and dreams bubbled from Molly’s soul.
Reynolds portrayed her well; the character is woven in my mind.
Whether she was rich or poor, or burning up the bankroll,
I remember her well as through my memories I rewind.
She has played in several other movies over the years.
Choosing characters with valuable messages was her voice.
"A Gift of Love", the Daniel Huffman Story brought me to tears.
An actress with talent and values makes her my choice.
There have been many great actresses since movies began.
Stars like: Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, and Sandra Bullock
Brought in big bucks because of each supportive fan.
But with Debbie Reynolds, I remain awestruck.
