  • Just Like Heaven

    This was cute, though not exactly medically realistic. It's a nice, light, feel-good movie. I did fall asleep for a portion of the middle of the movie, so I can't vouch for that, but I think that was more due to my fatigue than the quality of the movie. Reese Witherspoon was cute as always, and I liked her co-star, though I'm blanking on his name. It also had the guy from Napoleon Dynamite in it.

    He should just change his name to this, because something tells me that's how he'll always be known.

      No joke. It's the only way I ever remember that actor.

      I think that's why the guy who played Luke Skywalker saw his career basically tank after that franchise ended....

        Well, except it didn't, really. He got in a bad accident that messed up his face a bunch, and *that* didn't help any, but he still does a lot of voice work. Return of the Jedi is item number 136 on Mark Hamill's IMDB list, so he didn't exactly drop off the face of the earth.

          HA!

          According to wikipedia and IMDB, he didn't do the rest of the series because he wanted to concentrate on movies; he had a feeling star wars was going to take off.

          I was...alive, but still in the single digits, when star wars and eight is enough both came out. I remember watching both, though I don't think I ever saw the eight is enough pilot - didn't actually know Mark was David for it until I looked on IMDB today.

            I loved Eight is Enough! Was David the big brother--if so, then doesn't he host a show on HGTV? I can't remember which one, though.

              I loved Eight is Enough. I can't remember how old I was when it was on. I'm wondering if I also watched re-runs?

              I remember the brother David as the HGTV guy too. Must have missed the pilot. Wow, Tara, good memory.

              ETA: Per the HGTV site, he does the If Walls Could Talk, Homes of our Heritage, and The Log Home: An American Tradition. He also hosts Northwest Passages or something like that -- a travel show on the Pacific Northwest. I knew he looked familiar!

                Heh...a fan, but not a *huge* fan; like I said, I was in the single digits when star wars came out, so a little young for that...and even when I was the right age, I didn't read the teenybopper magazines (just not "the thing" in my family or group of friends, luckily)....I do remember having a huge crush on Christpher Reeve after seeing Superman, though.

                  I love the completely random turn that this movie review has taken.

                  BTW, we also saw this movie and thought it was ok. It is what it is, meaning it's a fluffy romantic comedy that will keep you entertained for 90 minutes. The medical stuff in it made us laugh though.
