Hannibal (2001)
10/10
I love this movie!
11 February 2001
I thought this movie was totally great. But I must warn you though, you should really read the book then see the movie. It's not a necessity to enjoy the movie but it will help you understand it a little better. It seemed that splices of the necessary scenes to help you understand what was going on were left out when the script was written. Of course this would have made the movie significantly longer. I think for the Florence scenes you really have to have an appreciation for history and Italy for that matter. Of course many people were bored during these scenes. Myself included at a few points. The Florence scenes had me wishing for the climax. As a previous person commented about asking why, I honestly just have to say READ THE BOOK. You will know why then. And it all really won't seem like "an episode from Tales From the Crypt." If you read the book and still didn't understand, well then I pity you. The script managed to weave humor into the plot very well. Tony Hopkins played Hannibal Lecter once again very well. But this time round I think the screenplay was trying to make you dislike Dr. Lecter more than the first. And for me it succeeded. I honestly didn't like him at all. But in the book I was rooting for him. All in all this is an enjoyable film. Don't let the ones who were disappointed by the fact that they were going in for "The Silence of The Lambs 2" but got "Hannibal" a film that can stand on its own and doesn't need its predecessor instead.

Three Sisters (2001–2002)
Interesting
9 January 2001
This is an interesting comedy I'm willing to watch. It isn't the funniest thing I've seen, but it is definitely better than most of the comedies NBC has churned out. It is worth a try and hopefully NBC won't go on another cancelling frenzy in the near future. In my opinion this show is worth your time. There are a few laughs.

Margaret Bourke-White (1989 TV Movie)
10/10
Great!
16 December 2000
This movie is indeed a wonderful movie. We had to watch this film in a Journalism Class. I wasn't expecting much from it, but oh how I was wrong to expect so little from this great movie! Farrah Fawcett is excellent in her portrayal of the woman photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White. This is a very well done movie. If you are given the chance to watch this movie, don't pass it up! You will be truly entertained from beginning to end!

Earthquake in New York (1998 TV Movie)
Awful!
12 November 2000
This is an awful movie. Avoid at all costs. The effects are terrible, plot is unoriginal, and acting isn't all that great. All in all terrible movie. You really shouldn't waste your time on this poor excuse for an action film. While watching I kept thinking how stupid the movie was and how fake the effects were. The silly poor effects distract you from the silly poor storyline. You can't help but think what a stupid movie this is.

Terror Train (1980)
Very Good
26 July 2000
This movie is really good. It is a very creative idea isolating people on a train. I really just love this movie. Good acting, some suspense, and I loved how the killer was there the entire time. This movie really surprised me. I've seen comments these other users have made, complaining about how it was a Halloween rip-off. Don't base the fact of whether or not you're going to view this movie on these opinions. This movie is nothing like Halloween and it isn't so much trying to be Halloween. If you say this movie is a Halloween rip-off you may as well say that about every other slasher movies. It is silly to not watch this movie because some other person who had way too HIGH expectations about this movie says it was bad. It is a great movie, but if you watch it with high expectations of another Halloween you'll be disappointed.

Very Poor Sequel
8 June 2000
This movie was very poor. And the reason is two words : STEVE MINER. This guy is known for ruining Friday the 13th whichever installment it was he "directed." This movie was too short and completely ignored Halloweens 3-6. It has little going for it even though Jamie Lee Curtis did return. The least she could have done was wait for a good script. If you like the Halloween movies and Jamie Lee Curtis you should like this movie. But it is a big disappointment to die hard fans. KEEP STEVE MINER AWAY FROM HALLOWEEN 8!!

The Better of the Halloween Sequels
7 June 2000
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, is in my opinion, the better of the Halloween sequels. I think a lot of you would like this installment if it were released as intended. The film was so drastically edited that it's "Producer's Cut" is nearly a completely different film. A better one at that. It is a bit scarier. I cannot understand how some of you don't like this one. It's really a good movie. I think a big problem was the director. I guess he wanted to leave a mark on the series. But instead kinda messed the movie up, Some. As for those of you that don't like the newer Halloween sequels, dont' go see them! It is a known fact sequels will not be as good as the original. I don't understand why there are some of you who go in the theatre thinking these sequels will be the greatest and come out complaining. It's kind of a drag. But you are entitled to those opinions. But there are some Halloween fans who still try to enjoy the sequels without complaining much. Anyways Halloween 6 is a really good movie but if you are one of those people who just expect it to be just as good as the original you will be dissatisfied.

Scream 3 (2000)
8/10
Better Than Expected
30 April 2000
Scream 3 has so much secrecy surrounding it that many people had really high expectations for it. Which is why those people are disappointed by it. I honestly thought the film was well written and nicely acted. The characters of course are another story. Ehren Krueger obviously showed a weakness here. The new characters were poorly developed throughout the course of this film. With the exception of Parker Posey's Jennifer Jolie. But even her character development is limited. Scream 3 could have saved money by not including the useless characters. The plot is of course growing tiresome. The script is very good. The movie in all was better than I expected. I expected it to be very poor because it is of course a sequel. But it is worth your money and 2 hours and some odd minutes to view it.
