thumb up for "Evelyn" and thumb down for "White Orleander"

Two movies, "Evelyn" and "White Orleander" released to the theatre everywhere last year, at about same time, one based on true story of Irish single father fighting government and catholic church to get back his kids, and the other about a teen age girl's relationship with her troubled mother and her life story after her mother's sent to jail.

"White Orleander" based on a popular book, received wide audienceship and much good reviews, and was definitely a chic-flic movie. On the other hand, "Evelyn" didn't have as much hype nor as many followers although both movies had top-notch actors under the belt, to fight the ticket office with.

When Castro Video on California St. near Fillmore St. began close-out sale, and had pre-watched VHS for $1.00 and pre-watched DVD for $6.00 I pickedup at least 2 dozen VHS and DVDs, and had to struggle a bit to pick only 7, and these two movies made the final cut. Though I was quiet interested in seeing both movies, the interest wasn't achingly sharp enough and for some reason time just flew so quickly and left me out; both movies were taken off the theatres and went to video before I realized I didn't get to go. Thus, I was eager to check them out.

"White Orleander", as I suspected, was quiet dry and serious. In a way I was glad not to have gone to big-screen to see it.
"Evelyn", however, is quiet to my liking. Including every so reapeated "however" the supreme court judge mentioned at the end of the movie. The formula and plot weren't as shocking, but it was quiet heart warming, and it wasn't as boring, nor dry. It would have been nice to see it at the theatre, and I'm quiet glad to have DVD in my collection.
