Confessions of a Movie Addict (Book) - 6/6/2002 8:33:27 AM
A Funny Look at Movies
by James Colt Harrison, editor of National Film PreVue Magazine
If Oscar's were given for the funniest book of the year, then "Confessions of a Movie Addict" by Betty Jo Tucker would win hands down! Film critic Tucker is as star-struck today as she was as a little girl when she was frightened out of her wits by FRANKENSTEIN and later in high school when she did impersonations of Rita Hayworth singing "Put the Blame on Mame." She fell hopelessly in love with the movies and movie stars. The affection she developed warped her mind from that point on to her present day success as a film critic. It has been said you have to be nuts to be a movie critic, and Tucker would probably agree.
Tucker takes us through her life in a chatty, gossipy way that serves the book's topic well. She regales us with hilarious personal encounters with movie stars and directors. Her unique and jolly way of looking at films is sampled in the reviews that are also included in the book.
If you love movies as much as I do, you'll love CONFESSIONS OF A MOVIE ADDICT. I haven't had so much fun since I watched a Laurel and Hardy comedy. Short of doing pratfalls, Tucker will set you laughing out loud with her confessions.

Singin' in the Rain Movie Review (Article) - 4/5/2009 10:45:29 AM
Hi, enjoyed this review. I really liked ,Singing in the rain. I never realized Debbie Reynolds did not know how to tap dance . She did a good job in the movie . I think Gene kelly was one of the best dancers around. I liked him best in Brigadoon with Cd Chyrise.Donald O'connor made his own mark in the movie world . The reviews of the older movies bring back many good memories....

Twilight: Movie Review (Article) - 11/23/2008 6:35:48 AM
I just saw Twilight last evening. I was captivated by the chemistry and love between Edwin and Bella. Edwin was gorgeous, and very sexually appealing. Not sure if a second one will be as good or well received. It was quite out there in parts. This is a very good review of the movie. I would see it again on DVD at home when it comes out.
Thanks for the review,
Peace, love, and light,

Betty Jo,
Another great review as always. I'm looking forward to seeing this one as it runs a similar theme in my first book "Rigby's Roads"... see "My List of 50 things" on this site. Keep those great reviews coming.

The Golden Compass: Movie Review (Article) - 12/10/2007 12:35:49 PM
Good review, I just saw this movie with my 8 year old and she did not like it as the movie did not keep her attention and was more for adults.

Thanks for the reviews. Funny, I forgot all about some of these movies - I suppose that's a sign they won't be mentioned at the Oscars!

Debbie Reynolds: In Person (Article) - 1/2/2007 1:54:15 PM
My wife and I were only talking about Debbie recently while watching one of her old movies. So great to hear she is still so active, being about the same age as Debbie I can relate. She was one of my wife's favourite actresses and we sure enjoy watching reruns of her movies, especially "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" and "Singing In The Rain". Such fabulous memories of a talented lady. Thanks for writing this article.
