What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Director: Robert Aldrich
Cast: Bette Davis, Joan Crawford
Release Date: 1962
Rated: PG(?)
Age Rating: 8+ 
My Rating: 8 stars







Two aging film actresses live as virtual recluses in an old Hollywood mansion. Jane Hudson, a successful child star, cares for her crippled sister Blanche, who's career in later years eclipsed that of Jane. Now the two live together, their relationship affected by simmering subconscious thoughts of mutual envy, hate and revenge.



      Review:
Did you hear that Joan! Sam hates me!
When it comes to old movies, Samantha (my younger sister) and I can agree on alot of things (like Gidget, and etc) but when it comes to Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, that's where the line stops.  Bette is the best of the two women, the neat one and Joan, not the neat one. But Samantha *gasp* hates Bette and thinks that Joan is way better! and watching "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?"didn't help improve Bette in Samantha's eyes.
  There is only one thing that Samantha and I can agree on about this movie and that is, this movie is awesome! It's the kind of movie with black humor, the kind of movie that I LOVE to watch and it makes my mom wonder for the millionth time again if she is raising a daughter or a psycho girl.
And the two main actresses (Bette & Joan) makes it 75% more awesome (of course they do). So here we have, Bette, the vinegar, the one with the talent and brains. then there is Joan, the tight-lip martyr.  And they are both in the "same' movie! and somehow, they made the movie without killing each other!
I'm not crazy, am I?
  Now onto the movie, the pace can be alittle slow for those who aren't use to older movies but it's worth watching. I know that this isn't Forrest Gump or Inception or some really good movie but it's.......fun to watch for sure. This movie does take some time to sink in but after it has sank in, you'll be up here with me singing how awesome this is. :D Now I am not going to go over the story or the plot because I know that if you are reading this then you can read what the movie is about for yourself.
            I give it 8 stars




btw, I know that this review sucks but I'm just starting to get into all of this writing reviews thing.

Sorry, there's not a very good trailer for this neat movie.
