According to Mrs. Hoyle (1951)
My mother's favorite movie...
My mother loved this movie and whenever it would show on TV she would stop what she was doing and watch it.
I saw this movie maybe 8 to 10 times by the time I entered high school. Mom was fan of Spring Byington because she was an early TV comedy star. But there were other reasons as well. For one - Mom had met Ms. Byington in person on at least two occasions while living in Hollywood during the early 1950s. But it was also because she married my father and our family name was --- yes, you guessed it --- Hoyle, So my mother was also "Mrs. Hoyle." There was another reason as well: Before my mother met my father and took on the surname "Hoyle" - she met Ms. Byington in person while working at a cleaning business in North Hollywood, right across the street from a major movie studio (now a studio and theme park). Ms. Byington (along with many others working at the studio) would bring some of their personal laundry to my mothers business since it was so close to the studio. I loved watching her movies her show with Mom. Sadly she has become forgotten. Rest in peace - we loved you.
Battle: Los Angeles (2011)
Very believable and well made!
I missed this movie when it first came out and caught it on STARZ. From the very beginning it was credible and the acting was credible. Special effects were convincing and the aliens were realistic and believable. I really enjoyed it and thought the story moved along at a fast and yet reasonable pace. As with most movies of this type you have to suspend some of your common sense, but still very entertaining. If you are either a fan of science fiction or the Marine Corp, you'll like this movie a lot.
