My Little Girl (1986)

One of Masterson's masterpieces!!

[18 June 2003]

I strictly watched this movie because Mary Stuart Masterson was in it. My Little Girl had a pretty weird plot, having a rich girl(Masterson) helping out poor kids doesn't sound right. You would think rich people had more self-centered things to do like going to the mall or something. Anyway.... the movie as a whole was very good and realistic. And the best scene by far was the part when Masterson is dancing on the boat, showing off some of that 80's break dancing technique.



9/10 stars

Immediate Family (1989)

Another movie proving the 80's era of excellence.

[15 May 2003]

The movie Immediate Family is one of those rare films that never reach the public in a big way. But, the people that do see it are usually impacted greatly on the way to handle adoption and pregnancy at an early age. The cast:Glenn Close, James Woods, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Kevin Dillon are just the right mix to produce a movie of this genre. If you like baby flicks, I suggest you try out this one. Yet another example of 80's greatness.

Rating:8/10 stars

Heaven Help Us (1985)

A catholic comedy with a dissapointing ending...

[12 May 2003]

"Heaven Help Us" in a nutshell is about the Catholic Church in the 60's and how some boys go through puberty. But all that goes down the drain when all your concentrated on is the cute girl at the malt shop. Danni is her name and she is acted by Mary Stuart Masterson. This was one of Masterson's first movies that she played in. The only thing that made me mad was the ending of the movie. They could of at least showed them partying at Woodstock. I mean come on! Whats a movie without Jimmy Hendrix!

Some Kind of Wonderful (1987)

MSM makes this movie the best teen flick ever

[10/10 · 10 May 2003]

I must say the first time I saw this movie I was amazed. Not only was it the first movie that actually made me cry, but it was also the first time I saw the most beautiful woman on earth, Mary Stuart Masterson. She made this film a classic and the best of the 80's teen flicks. My thanks goes to her.

Mr. North (1988)

I almost stopped watching this movie until Mary Stuart Masterson randomly appeared!

[7 May 2003]

Mr. North is not a movie for most people unless you love Rhode Island or have a weird sense of humor. Im not saying this movie isn't good.....it just made me really tired. Almost falling asleep at 8:00 on a saturday is not regular for anyone! Until I saw a person I never expected to appear on this film. Mary Stuart Masterson(IM REALLY IN LOVE WITH HER)! Playing a girl named Elspeth Skeel. By the time I finished this movie, the only scene I really enjoyed watching was MSM smiling after feeling the touch of Mr. North's hand on her head. I love it when she smiles.

Some Kind of Wonderful (1987)

One of the best movies of all time.

[10/10 · 7 May 2003]

Some Kind of Wonderful is by far the best movie I have ever seen in my whole life! John Hughes has written yet another excellent story about a classical tale of teen romance. The first time I saw this movie was on t.v. at 2:00 in the morning. And I stayed up for every last minute of it. First of all, the cast is great. Howard Deutch pulled together some really remarkable actors and actresses for the roles of this movie.

Lets start with Lea Thompson playing the popular girl, Amanda Jones. She did a fine job playing the poor girl who hangs out with all the rich kids. This role must of been really hard for her because she didn't look like a poor girl at all. I mean its Lea Thompson for christ sake! And in my opinion we have to give her alot of credit for having the guts to do this role. She came through with it and that is all that matters!

Next is Craig Sheffer acting as the antagonist, Hardy Jenns. This guy did a pretty good job of acting as the rich, handsome, popular school boy who went out with Amanda Jones. In fact he did such a good job at acting his part that I wanted to punch the t.v. when I saw his face pop up on the screen. Hardy was a real a**hole!

The shy kid Keith Nelson acted by Eric Stolz, definintley reminds me of myself. That is one of the reasons why this movie really inflicted a lot of trauma on me from the beginning. We are both shy, independent, nice guys. I also look alot like him too! Except I have green eyes! Kinda scary if you dont mind me saying. Anyway, Eric does a marvelous performance as the protagonist of this film. Good job man!

Last but not least we have the beautifull,breathtaking,astonishing, Mary Stuart Masterson! This movie was the first time I saw her. And she took my breathe away!!!!! Playing the short blonde haired tomboy Watts, she has got some real talent. After I saw her in this movie,I knew I must see the rest of her movies she has been in. And I must say, she looks the best in this movie without a dout. Its just the fact that you can see that face of her's and see her smile. She definitley has the best smile I have ever seen in my entire life! And that is saying a lot for someone I don't even really know that well. Maybe sometime later in life I can meet her in person. I think we would do well together. No offense Damon. LOL!

But in all the movies I have seen, Some Kind of Wonderful touches me from the heart and reminds me about life and all the hard times that come with it. This is a landmark movie that will never leave my shelf.
