Roger Ebert

An Officer and a Gentleman is the best movie about love that I’ve seen in a long time. Maybe that’s because it’s not about ‘love’ as a Hollywood concept, but about love as growth, as learning to accept other people for who and what they are.



There’s romance in this movie, all right, and some unusually erotic sex, but what makes the film so special is that the sex and everything else is presented within the context of its characters finding out who they are, what they stand for and what they will not stand for.”

The original Officer and a Gentleman is one of my favorite movies. I have watched it over 50 times, and that’s downplaying it. This book did NOT disappoint. It has all the feels and made me laugh and cry! Boy! Did I cry 😢 There are many times he brings the movie scenes into the book. I love how you get those memories. 

Zack Mayo is back, and now he has a daughter! They have a terrible relationship, and for most of the story, Mayo is trying to make amends. Stg. Foley is as likable as ever and is back in a significant role. Mayo’s daughter is trying to become a fighter pilot and falls in love with another fighter pilot in training. Can their relationship last when they are both after the same thing? Will she be able to make her father proud? Will he finally accept her? 

Douglas Day Stewart did it right. You never know it’s a sequel, but I am thrilled with this book. I hope you can make this into a movie so the world can enjoy it as much as I did! 

I know it’s only February, but I can already see this will be a top 10 book for the year for me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The only thing I’m sad about is I finished the book. Oh well, I’ll reread it!

An Officer and a Gentleman’s Daughter is the sequel you’ve been waiting forty-two years to read. This book delivers!”

I saw [Thief of Hearts] in 1984 and loved it. To this day, every time I see Steven Bauer, David Caruso or Barbara Willians I flashback to this film. It left a lasting impression on me both for its chilling concept and it’s execution of the story. The acting, soundtrack, locations and cinematography were all great and the film was both intimate and erotic yet as chilling and scary as a Hitchcock film. The chemistry between the leads was electric and believable. Steven Bauer’s looks certainly didn’t hurt either. …it’s one that will always stick in my mind as very entertaining.

[Boy in the Plastic Bubble] Absolutely a lovely movie to be watched..!!!  cried when I saw the little TODD in  the bubble and seeing my favorite actor from The Brady Bunch in the cast…. The movie is (tear jerking) and… David Vetter was such a sweet-looking and lonely child in the bubble… loved it.

Love [Blue Lagoon]~!  I have been watching this movie since I was a child and it never gets old! Perfect for a rainy day relaxing at home. Put on a low fan for a breeze and dim the lights. Popcorn at the ready. A classic film for the whole family to enjoy. Brooke Shields is amazing with her co-star! So realistic, you forget it is a movie. Beautiful splendor of the beach atmosphere gets you craving some fresh seafood! Just an all-around great film that never gets boring.
