Sarah Reviews "In Your Eyes"

"In Your Eyes" is about two people on opposite sides of the country who seem to be able to hear one another and see everything the other sees. It takes several years for the two to realize they have this telepathic link, but they inevitably fall in love while those around them are basically convinced they're crazy. While the basic storyline felt a little typical of every other Hollywood love story, the telepathic link gave it an interesting edge and the characters were endearing. I didn't feel myself getting bored while watching it. At first I thought the ending was a bit abrupt, but it was actually pretty perfect. I've given it the thumbs up, but it wasn't so good that it stayed in my Netflix queue for a second viewing.

Sarah Reviews "The Long Walk Home"

"The Long Walk Home" is a movie that has been sitting in my Netflix queue for months. Had I known I'd like it as much as I did, I would have watched it ages ago. Set during the bus boycotts during the Civil Rights Movement, Whoopi Goldberg and Sissi Spacek really brought to life the struggle that was Montgomery, Alabama, in the '50s. I love watching movies that center on a little piece of American history, and it was interesting to see one from the perspective this movie offered. Watching the movie made me wonder if I would have had the courage to make the choices Miriam (Spacek) did or if I would have kept quiet amid the social injustices of the time. It reminded me that we're all the same, and while we may feel that we can't individually make a difference, collectively we can.
