An Officer and a Gentleman (1982)

Hmm. War training movie romantic comedy? No, that doesn't sound like my type of movie, does it? And it really wasn't. It started out interesting but then got very disjointed and wandered all over the place. Couldn't decide on a sensible balance between the two genres, mostly. Plus, you can't really take any movie ALL that seriously when it includes a guy in a Navy uniform yelling, "I don't want you to love me! I don't want anyone to love me! I just want out!" 2 stars.

A Raisin in the Sun (1961)

Plot: A substantial insurance payment could mean either financial salvation or personal ruin for a poor black family.

This was a really interesting play - I enjoyed reading it - and I really enjoyed it as a movie as well. Really well-done as an adaptation. Definite classic. 3.5 stars.
