Also...wanted to say that I'm going through a really hard time in life right now. Some doctors made a bad call when I went to the ER one night and now I have all sorts of health problems because they messed up. It's been hard going from being healthy and normal to now having issues. Your content has been helping me pass the time and take my mind off it all. So...just wanted to let you know that you're helping someone!! I hope you ( and all your other patrons as well) have a wonderful New Years!

2021-01-02 07:56:48 +0000 UTCIt was great to watch this again. I hadn't seen it in years and it was fun to watch along with you. I love the heart this movie had. Modern movies don't seem that have heart at all. If this were a modern movie they definitely wouldn't have made the ending dark and depressing. Likely he would have lost both his parents. I miss the days when movies could have happy and uplifting endings. Life sucks enough without having to see it on film constantly. I loved how they took the time to develop the relationships and build the characters in the first half of the film. This is also something they never bother to do anymore. This is especially true in American films where they just jump right into the action and you never really end up caring about the characters. Heck... I'm lucky if I know the characters name by the end of the movie these days. It's sad. I miss old movies.

2020-12-31 16:45:20 +0000 UTCI love this movie! I think I saw it not long after it came out (I was probably about 12) and I watched it so many times over the years, but never knew people outside my family that liked it! So this was such a nice trip down memory lane!

2020-12-31 08:56:31 +0000 UTCFrequency- Yay!!! I'm so happy you loved this movie so much! It is one of my all time favorite movies, so thank you so much for watching and reacting to it for me, Liam! Frequency not only has a phenomenal storyline from start to finish between the father and son as their lives are shown in two different time periods as they fight to save their family, but this movie also has so much heart. The relationship between father and son is beautiful and heartbreaking, as we see their struggles to not only survive the threat risen against their family, but also their struggle to right their wrongs that came from the consequences of them changing the past. Jim Caviezel plays John Sullivan and I absolutely love his performance. The emotion he shows in his character... he makes me cry in this movie. Not only is he phenomenal at showing just how desperate he is to save his father and mother, as well as the innocent women who died as a result of their actions in changing the past, but his emotion comes across every time he speaks with his father through the radio. Especially in the moment John is talking with his father after Frank survives the warehouse fire because his son saved his life. I love seeing the tears in John's eyes at the end of this scene, and hearing the breaking in his voice as he tells his father he loves him too once Frank tells him he loves him as well. Words that John hasn't heard for thirty years. It's so heartwarming. Jim Caviezel is my all time favorite actor, and has been since I first saw this movie many years ago, and then several movies such as The Count of Monte Cristo since, as well as a TV show titled... Person of Interest too. I just love the strength, heart, and emotion he brings to each of his characters. And he brings this kind of quality and strength into every character he plays. I just absolutely love him. :) When you're ready to choose a new show to begin reacting to once some of the shows you're currently reacting to are finished... I would love it if you could please consider watching and reacting to Person of Interest with Jim Caviezel! It's an absolutely phenomenal and beautiful show and since you enjoyed Jim in these two movies, I think you would absolutely love him in another of my all time favorite shows outside of Once Upon a Time too!! Thank you! :) Back to Frequency... Dennis Quaid is an amazing actor too. I love him as Frank Sullivan. I love Frank's drive to get to know his grown up son and to protect his family, while also doing all he can to right their wrongs with his son's help. In consequence of him doing so, Frank is later accused of being involved with the serial killer, or of being the killer himself, and is nearly killed a number of times. Yet Frank still fights to clear his name and brings justice for his family and the innocent women who had been killed because of their mistakes in changing their past. I can't imagine the emotional pain John must have felt from not only suddenly becoming bombarded by all the new memories he receives after they continue to change the past and having to live with both sets of memories in his mind, but also the pain that comes from having to wait by helplessly after he overhears his father fighting with Satch and his partner, then having to read that his father's been accused of being their killer. And Jim Caviezel truly brings out how John is feeling in every scene. It's heartbreaking. As for the overall storyline with John and Frank trying to take down the Nightingale Murderer... I love the combination of this story along with all of the family storyline. And I love, love, love the addition of the time elements crossing over and being altered as we see father and son fight to change the past and their future to save their family. The dynamic between Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel is phenomenal, and their father/son relationship between their characters is just beautiful. I am always in suspense throughout the whole movie, and the ending always makes me cry because I am just so excited and so happy it ends with Frank surviving, and killing... or at least hindering the serial killer cop in order to save his son in both timelines. And Frank calling his adult son Chief and saying he was still there as they hug... beautiful!!! Julia Sullivan, young John, Gordo, and young Gordo, and Satch are all also great characters too. I really enjoy seeing the changes in their characters and in their lives that they're completely unaware of, every time John and Frank change something. Julia Sullivan is played by actress, Elizabeth Mitchell, who does play the Snow Queen in Once Upon a Time just like you mentioned, and again... she a very talented actress whom I love in a number of shows and movies I've seen with her in them. Oh... and in case you were confused as to why the killer was able to kill ten women when the first changes occurred instead of just three like he originally did... it's because Julia (John's Mom and Frank's wife) saved Jack Shepherd's life in the hospital the night Frank went to visit her in the hospital after he survived the warehouse fire, when she wouldn't have been there to save the killer's life originally if Frank had died. And Jack had killed his own mother who was also a nurse like Julia, after the original three women he had been killed, but changed his MO so that no one would look at him for the murders. John had spoken to both of Jack's parents earlier on in the beginning upon finding the bones nearby, before Frank's survival from the warehouse fire changed everything. This is how John knew where to come back to in order to try to find Jack and why he recognized Jack's picture when he got the information about the killer from his prints John took from the wallet, and why he came back to talk to them again only to discover the mother was now dead. Sadly, by them changing their own lives, it caused the killer's mother to lose her life too. Also... the music throughout this movies is really good too, as well as very fitting not only for the time periods, but for the overall storylines throughout the movie. And I especially love the song played in the credits sung by Garth Brooks called, When You Come Back to Me Again. I don't know Garth Brooks' music all that well, but this is definitely one of his songs that I really do love. And lastly... I love the scene when John has a moment to talk with his mother in the past, as well as himself and his long time best friend from childhood. I love seeing and hearing Julia assure John that her mother is surely proud of him and that she knows he loves her, then the moment when John pretends to be Santa Claus for his friend, Gordo so he can give him the best advice he could ever give him. In the beginning of this movie, Gordo states he regrets not buying stock in Yahoo, as in Yahoo.com. And because John remembered this, he tells young Gordo that yahoo is a magic word he needs to remember for a long time. And in so doing, we see in the end that Gordo's past has been altered upon seeing in the future that he now owns a fancy car with a license plate that says Yahoo, indicating he had actually bought the shares in the company that he didn't initially do, making him fairly wealthy. Brilliant!! Thank you very much again, my friend! I love this movie so much, and I truly enjoyed your reaction for it. It means a lot to me that you are continuing to love and create the reactions for the movies and the shows that I love too. I truly hope you'll like my next recommendation just as much and will continue to do so in the future too. I'm happy to keep making good recommendations. So, until next time... Be happy and stay healthy. And Happy New Year!!!! :) Sincerely, Heidi
