Roses Are for the Rich (1987)

Roses are for the rich is a drama movie directed by Michael Miller and it was released on 17 May 1987. The movie was filmed in Birmingham, Alabama, USA and it was a good hit when it was released. The cast of the movie is rather unknown except for Bruce Dern who played Douglas Osborne in the movie. Bruce Dern has won many prices for best actor and in this movie he shows us exactly why he won those prices. However the main roles are played by Betty Buckley as Ella and Mary Conley as Hostess.

Jaws of Satan
This is a good movie directed by the rather unknown Bob Cleaver. This was also Christina Applegate’s film debut. Except from Christina Applegate the rest of the screen play is unfamiliar. The movie was filmed in Alabama and the plot is simply about a small town in Alabama getting overrun by snakes.

This is a great movie from director James Goldstone which was filmed in Gadsden, Alabama, USA and won the Won Primetime Emmy award. Kent State was released on 8 February 1981 and it was maybe Goldstones best movie in his career. The actors in the movie are unfamiliar to me except for Charley Lang who played in series like NYPD Blue and other new series.

The Grass Harp was directed by Charles Matthau and released in 1998. Charles Matthau won the Family Film Award for this movie in 1996 for best director. The movie is however based on a novel written by Truman Capote. The movie was filmed in Wetumpka, Alabama, USA. The cast of the movie is not good but far from bad. We have actors like Piper Laurie, Sissy Spacek, Walter Matthau, Edward Furlong and Nell Carter. The rest of the cast also okay but nothing to brag about, Piper Laurie also won an award for Best Supporting Actress by SEFCA Awards in 1997. She really deserved this reward, her performance in the movie is really good.
