A real-life fairy tale! Grace Kelly was born on Nov. 12, 1929. She made more than 10 movies in her career before she married Prince Rainier of Monaco in April 19, 1956. She was one of Alfred Hitchcock’s favorite leading actress, with the movies “To Catch A Thief”, “Dial M for Murder”, and “Rear Window”. Her last movie was “High Society” and then she became Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco! At her wedding, she wore a bridal gown that was made by MGM designer, Helen Rose. It was made from 125 yards of silk, 100 yards of silk net, a 125 year-old piece of rose point lace that she bought from a museum and thousands of little pearls that were hand sewn on her veil! It was the most expensive gown the Helen Rose ever made! Grace Kelly died on Sep. 14, 1982 from a car accident that occurred while she was driving and had a stroke. A Grace Kelly stamp came out in the 90′s.
Joan Crawford, John Wayne, and Philip Dorn play in this WWII movie about Nazis. Crawford finds a fugitive RAF pilot (Wayne) who is trying to get out of France, but doesn’t have the papers to get through. I give this movie a B+
Angela Lansbury plays J.B Fletcher, a older lady who lives in a small town in Maine. She writes mystery novels, but always seems to be getting into real mysterys! She isn’t the typical decetive! She is older, old fashion, and dosen’t even carry a gun! She just uses her brain to solve mystery after mystery! The show started in 1984 and ran untill 1996! They made 163 1-hour shows, with guest stars like, Robert Walker, June Allyson, Van Johnson, Kathryn Grayson, Gloria DeHaven, Roddy McDowall, and MANY others! The first 6 seasons are out on DVD! Their are also books that are based on this series!
She made over 280 shows!! Her first show aired in 1950. Each was about 30 minutes long, and were like a mini movie. She was named America’s best dress actress, because at the beginning of each show, she would do her ‘famous’ swirl through the door to introduce the show, and she would wear a newest designer dresses. The first season is out on dvd, and I give it an A+! They really did a bad job restoring it though, which was dissapointing.

This movie based on the book by Frank Peretti, is really good! It was much better than the book! It stars David Keith and Mel Harris. Two parents with teenage twins are also an undercover investigator family! They go to Rogers High School to find that some of the students are mysteriously getting sick after they find a hangman symbol in their locker. This was much better than the book, which is a series of 2 books. I give it an A++!
I am SO excited that these 4 Nancy Drew old movies are now out of DVD! I have been wanting to see them for a long time! The first one was made in 1938. They star Bonita Granville as Nancy. I was disappointed that they didn’t have any special features in the dvd set, except they have the theatrical trailers. They didn’t do a very good job in restoring them either! I give the dvd quality a b-, but I give the movies themselves a A!
Nancy Drew; The Mystery in Hollywood Hills staring Emma Roberts as Nancy, came out in theaters a few weeks ago. Nancy and her dad go to California after she promised her dad no more sleuthing. Nancy rents a house with a mystery, a movie star use to live there, and after she disappeared for a while, she came back and was found dead in the swimming pool. Nancy kinda breaks her promise about no sleuthing (suprise, suprise) and tries to solve the mystery.
This movie was okay, I didn’t care for some of the characters, and their were some dumb parts, but all and all this movie was worth seeing. It was neat to see a modern day Nancy Drew. Her clothes in this movie are very cool! Retro, 1950′s type! Very neat!I give it a C+.
