Being an
inquisitive boy Benjamin Franklin Gates (Nicolas Cage) was found in his
grandfather’s attic searching for information about the mystical
treasure his family has searched for so many years--- to find it--- and prove it was real.
Ben’s
Grandfather John Adams Gates
(Christopher Plummer) found him in his attic--- and told him he was undertaking the duty of the
“Family Gates” to find--- the most spectacular treasure in history.
Grandfather
Gates told Ben the story behind the search---how the treasure grew through the centuries
and was moved across continents---until it was hidden by American’s founding
fathers ---that left clues for us. It is our duty to find it and protect it, and today I hand this down to you Benjamin.
Years later---Ben still searched for the treasure---as he followed the clues of ten generations---he stayed
true to his promise to his grandfather. Ben’s father Patrick Gates (Jon Voight)
tells him it is a myth. But Ben has his own belief about the treasure and is determined to find it.
Ben is
hired by Ian Howe (Sean Bean) to find the treasure. Ben and his friend Riley Poole
(Justin Bartha) joined with Ian and his crew to find the next clue. Since Ben
was a boy he was told that "Charlotte" held the secret. But who was
Charlotte? Where was Charlotte?
After they found
a ship buried deep in the snow---everything went wrong for Ben and Ian. In their conversation Ben is the only smart enough to find the
conclusion to all the clues. Ben said the map to the treasure had to be on the
back of the Declaration of Independence and that is when Ian said they would
steal it.
When Ian
said that Ben said "No"---so Ian tried to end their Boss and Employee
relationship by killing Ben and Riley---only it did not work out that way.
Because Ben and Riley survived to fight another day.
Now they had
to protect the Declaration of Independence and they could only do this by
stealing it themselves before Ian and his crew steals it. And this is when they meet Abigail Chase (DianeKruger)
who works and protects the Declaration of Independence.
This is there the action, adventure, fun, and romance begins as the three of them team up to find the treasure and protect it and the Declaration of Independence.
This is a
great movie I’ve had my copy since 2004 and maybe you will get yours to watch
it anytime you like.
John McClane---when I hear his name I am ready for an action
packed adventure. From his original Die Hard to Live Free or Die Hard; I am a
Bruce Willis #1 fan. I watch his Die Hard movies when I need to relax and let him
perform the action as no one else can.
In this movie John McClane (Bruce Willis) is a tough
cop from the old school of getting the job done no matter what method it takes. His skills and experience saved
the day and lives in this film.
John is trying to make a connection with his daughter Lucy
Gennaro McClane (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) and communicate with her---to no
avail. His captain calls him as John is leaving his daughter’s apartment.
The FBI’s Cyber
Crime Division was hacked and the Director made the decision to pick up
all “Hackers” know to the FBI. And since it is the 4th of July most
policeman are off duty. So who do they want? They want Detective John McClane
to pick-up a hacker by the name of Matthew “Matt” Farrell (Justin Long) and deliver
him to the FBI in Washington DC.
The same
time John arrived at Matt’s apartment so did the Thomas Gabriel’s (Timothy
Olyphant) gang of Internet Terrorist to kill Matt as they had the other
hackers whom they used for their benefit.
The first shot was through the window---then all war broke-out
as the assassins broke in shooting and John shooting back and protecting Matt
at the same time it was war. Then suddenly one of the Matt’s trophies fell onto
the delete key and a bomb went off that was put in to especially kill Matt, but
killed one of the assassins. John and Matt got away after the two remaining
killers tried on last time to kill them.
Matt told John
after they arrived in DC that this was a “Fire Sale” that mean everything goes
so our Nation was in for a rough time.
This is a
great movie and I enjoy watching my DVD.
Next:
John McClane movie will premiere February 14, 2013 titled“A Good Day to Die Hard”
Henry Durand
(Colin Hanks) lived with his mother
Martha Durand (Meg Ryan) who is
grossly overweight, smokes, eats
sweets and evidently anything she can get in her mouth.
Martha drove Henry to
the airport for a FBI assignment and he reminded her that he will be gone
for three years and she says I know Henry.
After Henry’s
flight leaves Martha buys a dessert and a cup of coffee and sits on the floor
in the terminal and leans back against
the wall as she enjoyed her food. Martha picked up her cup of coffee and a man dropped
change in it---thinking she
was a homeless person.
Martha at that moment she had an epiphany---she changed her life around.
She lost over 100+ pounds
got into to shape. Traveled and played the stock market and made a lot of money and made many
changes in her life. One
important change---her name--- she now calls herself Marty in lieu of Martha.
So when
Henry returns home there are a lot of changes first he did not recognize his
mom---and was shocked to see her in
her bikini top. And she told Henry I am not covering them up---they were
expensive, and just smiles and then tells
him she is now Marty---not Martha.
Henry tells
his mom as they go upstairs that he is engaged to Emily Lott (Selma Blair) and she is coming today.
After Emily
arrives the three of them go out to for a walk on the town to enjoy the outdoors and its displays in Shreveport, Louisiana.
This is when the toy plane that Tommy Lucero (Antonio Banderas) is flying by remote control hits Marty in the head and knocks her out for a moment. And this is how the three of
them meets Tommy.
The FBI
thinks Tommy is the leader of a gang of art thieves and so they ask Henry to spy on
his mom and her new boyfriend.
The story
leads to a funny, romantic, adventure with a good ending.
When Logan Fallon (Brandon
Ryan Barrett) was ten years old his father Nicholas Fallon (MatthewTompkins) a prosecutor for the city of Chicago; was prosecuting a notorious gangster Albert Talgorno (R.D.
Call) to send him to prison for a long time.
Even though Nicholas Fallon had police around his house to
protect his family; young Logan was still afraid and worried. He told his father when he came into his room to say good night---he had a feeling---that something bad was going to happen. His father assured
him that he had nothing to fear because they were protected by the police. He
kissed Logan good night and everyone soon was asleep.
Logan had a rare gift of being able to sense danger before it
happens it the only reason the men who entered their home on the night his
family was murdered did not take them completely by surprise. His father got
his gun and his mother called the police; however that did not spare them.
When Logan’s
father was shot, Logan ran and hid behind a cabinet from which he could see the
killers through the holes in the wood work. There was four of them; Sal Mercado (Jeff Kober) with three other gangster who carried out the order
from Albert Talgorno.
Logan
watched his as mother was shot and heard the shots when his little sister was
killed. They could not find Logan and had to leave because the police sirens were
loud and near. Logan was the only one who survived that terrible
night.
Logan’s
Uncle Jake (Chuck Norris) his father’s
brother had the same gift as Logan of being able to sense danger before it
happened. He knew something was wrong so went to his brother’s as fast as
possible.
Logan was in
the hospital when his Uncle Jake arrived. Logan talked with Special Agent John
Downing (Joe Sano) and when he asked Logan did he see the killers, he said no.
Logan went
home with his Uncle Jake to live with him and Ben (James Gammon) who was Jake’s father-in-law. Logan had a lot to
filter and tried to understand it all. Now he had a new home with his Uncle and Ben. Both men helped Logan and he grew into a well-balanced
young man. A young man who had all the skills of a trained fighter.
The older
Logan is played by (Eddie Cibrian)
who became a ranger with his Uncle Jake's help. Logan now a man who
served his country with honor. Logan still has a vendetta that pumps through his very heart and soul; never leaving his mind. He will go after the men and the man who sent them to
kill his family. This is a Blood fued to be carried out by Logan and his Uncle Jake.
And now the
action starts as Logan and his Uncle Jake take care of business.
Natalie Jones (Melissa
Gilbert) who is the daughter of Judge Charles Evers Trevor’s is looking up
at her recently deceased father’s favorite painting; of two horses running and
playing.
When Abygail Jordon (Nan
Martin) the Judge’s longtime housekeeper who helped bring-up Natalie; walked
into the room. They talked a while and then she handed Natalie a locked wooden
box with a key.
Abygail told her--- your father had something he wanted you
to know---but being a man never got around to it.
Abygail left the room and let Natalie be alone with her
father’s past. After she viewed the information she called her friend Larry Gorman
(Robert Mailhouse) an attorney who
worked in the same law firm with her. Although Natalie was a top attorney in
the firm; she valued Larry’s opinion.
Natalie did not know her father was married before he
married her mother; to a famous “Rodeo Queen” named Maggie Mae Jarret. She
found a picture in the wooden box of Maggie Mae and her dad who she called “Charlie.”
Natalie Goggled Maggie Mae Jarret online and found she lived
in California also. So she planned a trip to find out more about her.
When Natalie arrived she stopped at the local restaurant and
ordered a bowl of Chili. Then followed the waitress’ directions carefully; she
finally arrived at her destination. She pulled behind an old work truck at the cemetery.
Natalie walked carefully on the dirt and grass as she looked
for the gravesite. Finally, Natalie stood at Maggie Mae Jarret’s grave. To her
right she heard a rattling sound then she saw a huge rattlesnake. She froze it
frightened her so; then all of a sudden a woman walked up behind her and said
do not move. It will leave when it realizes you are not going to hurt it.
"Are you here about Maggie Mae?"
Natalie rplied, "Yes I am writing an article on rodeo stars."
"My name is “Jess” Jess Jarret (Lindsay Wagner) ---Maggie Mae was my mother."
Natalie looked shocked, "I didn’t know she had a daughter."
"Yes I am her daughter--- and you look a little sick."
" Are you
ok?"
Natalie told her no--- she had eaten some Chili at the
little restaurant.
Jess told Natalie to follow her home to learn more about
Maggie Mae. But instead Natalie had to lie down she felt so ill.
Natalie met Lulu Nichols (Lindy Newton) after she arrived home from school. Lulu is Jess’
adopted daughter. Lulu had chores to do so she left Natalie on the couch with a
rag on her head.
This is how she met Sam Nelson (Brian Wimmer) the local Veterinarian who is part of Jess’ family.
And now the good part of the movie begins---so I will stop
before I spoil it for you. This is a very good movie. It has heart, kindness,
dedication, family values, fellowship, love and romance.
Lucy Hill (Rene
Zellweger) loved her life in Miami Florida as she worked her way up the ladder. She planned to
be even more powerful than her now consulting position. While in a meeting she
volunteered to mastermind the companies’ blue collar plant in a small community
in the frozen state of Minnesota; to downsize it to 50% of the workforce and
to reconstruct the operations of the plant.
However, Lucy’s company only looked at the numbers---and not
the faces of the people who she would soon find out about after landing on a
very cold day. Lucy arrived at the real estate office to meet Blanche Gunderson (Siobhan Fallon) and Trudy Van Uuden (Frances Conroy) who proceeded to the
house she would live in.
Lucy drove her rental car with Blanche as a passenger. Lucy
was cold, not used to the icy weather and she had the company business on her mind.
So Lucy was driving and not talking until Blanche started asking questions.
Blanche was such a sweet person who wanted to know more about Lucy. Blanche
asked Lucy if she was a scraper---Lucy looked puzzled. Blanche told her that she
made scrapbooks, and she belonged to a scrapbook club. After more personal
questions from Blanche they finally stopped behind Trudy’s car and the three
ladies went into the cold rental house.
Blanche invited Lucy to her home for supper (that is
dinner in small towns) and this is where she met Ted Mitchell (Harry Connick, Jr.) and his daughter
Bobbie (Ferron Guerreiro).
Lucy and Ted did not hit it off, because of their different ideologies.
Lucy was a big city girl born and bred and Ted was a single small town father
who was raising her teenage daughter with small town traditions.
The next day Lucy met Stu Kopenhafer (J.K. Simmons) the plant manager, and her life would not be the
same. Everyone in the town had experienced the presents of other consultants that were sent to their plant from the Miami Headquarters.
And they were not greeted with opened arms. Because the workers felt threatened
and feared for their jobs. Yes---Lucy was in for the fight of her life.
This is a good movie Renee and Harry sparked great chemistry
together. And it showed how people in small town American will band together to
fight for their rights.
Will Lucy's heart warm up to these people and will she help them in the end to save their jobs?
I love this
TV Series---it begins with an embarrassing when Ed Deline (James Caan)
President of Operations of the Montecito Resort & Casino
in Las Vegas--- walks in on his daughter---DelindaDeline (Molly Sims) and Danny McCoy (Josh Duhamel) making love.
Since Danny
worked for Ed Deline as one of his surveillance men it was a doubly awkward
moment when Delinda looked up and said---Hi Daddy.
Delinda did
not tell Danny she was Ed Deline’s daughter and since she had just returned home
from college he was not aware she was in the Montecito, nor, home for that
matter.
Delinda who
looks like a model is tall with long blond hair and a beautiful face with light
greenish-blue eyes. She is her daddy’s heart and anyone who even touches her is
in big trouble.
Ed Deline is
an ex-CIA officer who is in charge of running the everyday operations of the
Montecito. He is a dedicated,
hard, tough and very intelligent man. A man of connections and if one is smart one will not mess with
him. He is not afraid of anything in life---unless it has to do with his
family.
Danny is a
valuable member of Ed’s top surveillance team---that
observes all of the Montecito Resort and Casino---everything from valet
parking, restaurant management to casino security.
Danny was born in Las Vegas and worked for his father in his
construction business until he joined the Marines---his skills put him in Black
Ops---so he has an excellent background for
His job at the Montecito and is very good at it. Ed Deline likes
him a lot.
Mike Cannon (James
LeSure) is a brilliant MIT graduate who has degrees in Mechanical Engineering
begins as a valet worker then is promoted to Ed’s surveillance to work with
Danny. They work well together with the average discussion 0f who is the best
in their jobs. When actually they both balance out each other’s skills making
them an asset to the team.
Samantha “Sam”
Marquez (Vanessa Marcil) is has she puts it---she is the best Casino Host in
Vegas or the world. She has her “Whales” super-rich customers who she caters to
and this is how she earns her money---when they loss---she wins. Sam is a tough
cookie on the outside, but is soft and very human on the inside---which very
few people get to see this side of her.
Mary Connell
(Nikki Cox) starts out as the Special Events Director at the casino. She is a
life-long friend of Danny’s and
at one point she is engaged to him. Danny is her self-appointed protector and
feels more like a brother to her than a boyfriend.
Jullian
Deline (Cheryl Ladd) is Ed wife and Delinda’s mother. She plays a supporting
part as a wife and mother. She loves her other daughter that she and Ed raised
Nessa Holt (Marsha Tomason) who also works as “The Pit Boss” at the Montecito’s
Casino. Ed rescued her from his CIA days since her father was forced into the
CIA---and faked his own death--- which Nessa does not know about until much
later. Ed actually saved her life by bringing her home to his family to be
raised as a daughter to him and Jullian and a sister to Delinda.
Cooper (Tom Selleck) in Season Five buys Montecito and makes vast improvements and wins the respect of all his employees. Cooper takes great pleasure in everyone who visits his Resort and Casino enjoys their visit. Therefore, will want to return and play in the casino---because this is how he earns his money.
Mr. L’Amour before his death
on June 10, 1988, his good intentions were to write 7 or 8 more novels to add
to his series of
The Sacketts.
This is a TV version of the third novel in The Sackett Series, made in 1979. Thirty-three years ago, but just as popular today.
The Sackett Chronicles is about three Tennessee born young men who came home at the end of the Civil War. They came home to their Ma who was still living on the family’s meek farm.
The first-born Tell Sackett (Sam Elliott) left home a few years before the younger boys did to find his fortune in the Wild West. And while he is seeking his fortune in the gold fields---his younger brothers are still at home with their Ma.
We find Orrin Sackett (Tom Selleck) on his wedding day and everyone is having a great time at Orrin’s Tennessee home. With his Ma and younger brother, Tyrel Sackett (Jeff Osterhage).
Everyone was having a great time until a man steps from the edge of the house and says, “Orrin, you killed my brother Jeb.”
Orrin replied, “Jeb had a gun Long Higgins (James O’Connell).”
Long Higgins didn’t care he stated that Orrin took his brother’s life and he was here to make it even. And he fired his gun just when Orrin’s bride-to-be runs in front of Orrin to stop the shooting, because he was unarmed.
Long Higgins bullet intended for Orrin, killed his bride-to-be, and while Long reloaded his gun, Tyrel drove up in a buggy and kneeled down by Orrin and the girl.
Long Higgins said he would bag him two Sacketts today, and pointed his gun and Tyrel shot him.
Next we see a funeral of Orrin’s never to be bride with all her family and friends gathered in an old cemetery. Orrin is standing with his head down with a very sad expression as he listens to the preacher that was to marry them, but instead was burying his bride-to-never-be.
After the funeral Ma Sackett rushes Tyrel off with his saddle bags packed because he knows other brothers will come for him, and he was her baby boy. Tyrel finally agrees to leave after he tell his Ma when he gets settled he will send for her and then they kiss good-bye. A short time passes and Ma Sackett sends Orrin off to protect him. So Orrin goes out to the Wild West to connect with Tyrel.
Accumulating my research from many sources I have compiled a concise background on John Dillinger and some issue of the “Great Depression.”
Some history updates from the Depression Era and facts about the real John Dillinger. John’sMother died when he was three (3) years old.His father remarried years later so young John had a step-mother whom he a hated at first, but he soon become fond of her.
John Herbert Dillinger, Jr. was 26 years old when the “Great Depression Era” began in 1929 shortly after the stock market crashed, in October.
It wiped out millions of investors, because Wall Street freaked out and consumer spending dwindled; which led to massive layoffs. Unemployment was quoted--- 13 to 15 million people were unemployed--- when the Depression had reached its lowest possible point.
Some of the wealthiest people had lost everything and were now broke and broken; and the many who could not take the pressure or the shame committed suicide. Stories spread about the people who were once Millionaires now stood in food lines along with the ones they once employed. It was a sad and grave time and almost half of the banks in America had failed.
People blamed the banks for all their issues and when John Dillinger and his gang starting robbing banks the people cheered---Dillinger was their hero because he took was from the evil banks that took from the hard working people. He was like Robin Hood to them, because he never took from people, just the banks during a robbery.
Let’s begin our review for the movie Public Enemies the story of John Herbert Dillinger, Jr. (Johnny Depp). As the movie opens John is being taken back to prison by his friend “Red” Hamilton (Jason Clark) who was posing as a lawman as a setup for a jail break.
John had just gotten out of this prison eight (8) week prior to this jail break plan, but here he
was again here to help release his friends.During the prison break John’s friend Walter Dierich was shot in the back, so he did not make it. And the guy John blamed for this he pushed him out of the get-away car, after hitting him in the face a few times.
While all this was happening Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale) shot and killed Pretty Boy Floyd (Channing Tatum) and his name fit him because he was very handsome. So that was one down and two to go as per the FBI’s instruction from J. Edgar Hoover (Billy Crudup) to eliminate also, Baby Face Nelson (Steven Graham).
J. Edgar Hoover many were declaring was using the tracking and the murdering of these men for his own agenda of receiving more money to fund his FBI department.
John and his gang made it to Chicago, where they were enjoying dinner; drinking and the other gang members connect with the woman of their choice. While John sit alone at his table watching a woman who caught his eye. Then he walked over and asked her to dance, and she accepted his hand.
Her name was Billie Frechette (Marion Cotillard) and John Dillinger falls hard for her---she was the only woman he ever loved and with his dying words sent her a message to prove it.
Billie asked John his name and what did he do as they sat in a fancy restaurant eating their dinner. John told her---I am John Dillinger, I rob banks. Billie stared at John and said--- that is something to tell a person you just met. John told her he would never lie to her, and that the only important thing in life is where one is going.
This is a great action, crime, suspense and romance movie which gives input to many questions about what really happened in John Dillinger's life from this movie. I loved this so much because Johnny Depp was in it so I purchased the DVD.
I hope everyone buys a DVD and enjoys it as much as I enjoy all mine, especially by latest one Public Enemies.
Around 1876 a wealthy Australian cattle baron by the name of Elliott Marston(Alan Rickman) advertised for the best long distance sharpshooter in the World to travel to the rough and remote Australia countryside to kill dingoes for him. And he was paying a large amount for this service.
When Matthew Quigley(Tom Selleck) read this ad in Montana, USA, he answered the ad stating that he could hit a target at 900 yards. Elliott Marston sent word for him to come to Australia.
When the ship docks we catch a glimpse of Matthew Quigley’s temper as a rough overbearing passenger tries to depart the ship by butting in front of an old couple.
Matthew stops him with butt of his gun in his Netherlands region. Matthew smiled at the couple as they proceed down the ramp telling them the gentleman was not in a hurry.
No sooner has Matthew’s feet hit the wooden dock carrying his saddle and his gun; that he gets in-boiled in Crazy Cora’s(Laura San Giacomo) fight. She started calling him Roy as soon as she saw him telling one and all he is her husband.
Matthew tells her is not Roy, as he rescues her from the men who were trying to put her on their wagon.
After Matthew beats the guys up; they find out that Quigley is the one their Boss sent them bring back to the cattle ranch. Looking at Matthew’s facial expression one can almost hear him say, Oh no---I am going to ride this wagon with her—Crazy Cora.
Now the adventure begins with Cora and Matthew and if you buy or rent this movie you will not regret it, because it is a great movie with great Australia countryside.
In the beginning of the movie we see Joe Bill “Rack” Racklin (Toby Keith) an Oklahoma Deputy Sheriff, in Greer County which is known as the Crystal Methamphetamine center of the region.
Rack works with his best friend Lonnie Luther Feldman (Rodney Carrington) who is funny, but equally a few bricks short of a load. The change in his pocket is probably a higher number than his I.Q. score.
Rack’s was late to his girlfriend Cammie’s (Gina Gershon) birthday celebration, so when Rack got home she was leaving him. After she had a few heated words Cammie backed over his lawn mower and then left.
It didn’t seem to bother Rack as looked down at the uneaten celebration food on the table; he took a drink of beer and said, “It looks like Daddy needs to buy another lawn mower.”
Rack heard that his high-school sweetheart, Annie Streets (Claire Forlani) is back in town. Annie came home to take care of her mother who was ill or so Annie thought at the time.
Rack goes to see her at her step-father’s ranch. Her step-father Buck Baker (Barry Corbin) is anything but a father to Annie. Buck is a man who is for himself and his crooked dealings, because all he cares about is money.
I like it when the Sheriff Wilson Landry (Tom Skerritt) gives the toast—Whiskey for my men, and beer for my horses.
Another deputy who is simply in his own orbit is Skunk(Ted Nugent) one reason is his badge is tattooed on his chest, and he carries two guns stuck in his belt—no holsters.
Charlie (Willie Nelson) is a guy they met on the way to Mexico to rescue Annie. Charlie helps them repair Luther’s truck, because Luther went off the highway looking at a girl when she pulls her t-shirt up to show her breast.
Our movie begins with Beck (The Rock—Dwayne Johnson) who is a hard-hitting wannabe chef trying to finish an assignment for his mobster boss Walker (William Lucking) as a bounty hunter.
Beck (The Rock) is sent to collect $50,000 from a football player who owes the money for a gambling debt. After the football player chose the wrong way to solve his issue. Beck retrieves his Super Bowl Ring for collateral until the debt is paid. However, before Beck can get in his car another guy Walker sent as a backup man shoots him with paint packs and takes the ring.
When Beck arrives at the Walker home he is not in too good a mood to say the least. He tells Walker he wants his money and he wants out. That he wants to start his restaurant, but Walker tells him--- if he will do one more job for him; he will have his restaurant.
Walker gives Beck an envelope with photos of a young man, and Walker tells Beck it is his son, Travis (Seann William Scott). That he wants him brought back to California. And he will find him in the Amazon.
This is where the fun begins, as Beck tracks down Travis Walker the fun begins. Beck has to deal with keeping Travis and outrunning Hatcher (Christopher Walken).
Mariana (Rosario Dawson) who is a bartender and leader of her people who are being used by Hatcher to dig in his mines and are paid very little for their work, and if they often beaten with whips if they disagree in any way.
This is a fun movie, with fast action, and a story with a heart and one of my favorite films, which is out on DVD. However, having The Rock in it did not hurt.
Broken Bridges is a great family movie. As the movie begins Angela Dalton (Kelly Preston) who is in her office preparing for her T.V. show as a reporter, when Charles (Jeff Portell) the manager of the station walks in and asks Angela what she is wearing for a meeting tonight. Angela replies that she is wearing what she has on.
Then Charles tells her to wear the Armani suit, as she should dress for success. After that scene Angela goes home to change and is reading what Charles ask her to read for an interview. Then her daughter Dixie Leigh Dalton (Lindsey Haun) walks in, and starts telling her mother the great news that she and her boyfriend are playing in a Club next Friday night.
Her mother reminds her that she is on restriction, because she was caught drinking a beer in school. She and Dixie have a few words, and Dixie told her mother that she could not stop her, and leaves the room.
Just then an announcer on T.V. announced that five young soldiers were killed in a training accident and they were all from Angela's hometown in Tennessee.
The phone rings and it is Angela's father Jake Dalton (Burt Reynold) who says I guess you hear that we lost Bobby and four other boys from here, but you wouldn't remember them.
Angela said she did remember them. Then her father hands the phone to Angela mother, Dixie Rose(Tess Harper).
She calls Angela--Angel--and says we lost our Bobby, and your Daddy wants you to come home for the funeral.
The next day Angela and Dixie Leigh are riding in a convertible to Tennessee, to Angela's Hometown. Dixie cannot believe that her mother grew up here, as it is so different from Miami Florida. Angela has a lot to contend with after reaching her hometown, as her father is very short with her and still angry with her after sixteen years. Because her bestfriend told him she was afraid Angela might do something to the baby, when all she really wanted was Bo.
So Angela and her father had a big fight because he believed someone else over his daughter. Angela ended up leaving home alone because her boyfriend Bo Price (Toby Keith) did not show up as he promised to leave with her. This movie is full of family and family values, the singing is great, and when Dixie Leigh sings for the town everyone is amazed. Special appearances by Willie Nelson and I recommend this to everyone who likes romance, and how sometimes one has to go back to proceed forward in their life.
