Terry on the Fence (1986)

This is another CFF movie worth highlighting. Kids just can't keep out of troubles, and this film portrays such a kid very well. The acting is just great.

It would be rated 5 or 6 out of 10 for a regular movie because some parts of the plot seem unconvincing. But such flaws are often found in this kind of films. So, as a CFF production this gets 7 of 10 from me.

Where Pigeons Go to Die (1990)

Just a good movie. [1] It's a sentimental drama dealing with family values and relationships between three (actually four) generations. It deeply touches your heart and raises a lot of emotions. Make sure you have some Kleenex nearby before watching it.

Considering the topic of family values, Avalon (1990) comes to mind. This is the second time I mention Avalon on this blog. The first one was in the review for Son of Rambow (2007). Should I write a separate review for Avalon? Well, it's a rather long tale depicting the decay of family values over the 20th century. And that's all about it. Enjoy reading two reviews in just one blog entry. :)

[1] Reviews that start with a phrase "Just a good movie" are going to be short, simply stating that I like this particular title. They are not really reviews, just a few notes describing what is this movie about or why I think it's worth watching.

PS. No, this blog isn't dead at all. Stay tuned. :)
