I missed the original run of this awesome show, but then USA re-ran the first 4 shows, so I snapped them up on the DVR. Michael Westen is a spy, but he’s been burned and he doesn’t know who did it or why. All he knows is that he has to rely on the few friends who still speak to him, and that he’s stuck in Miami. The show is very good, which was a surprise to me, considering the crap shows that have been invading television the past few years. The concept is sound, and some of the situations that Michael and his friends get into are pretty funny. It’s a good show and I’d suggest that if the kids are in bed, violence is shown in this show, you take a good look at it.
I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
No, not the movie. I read the book if you want to know. It was a very refreshing story. For once, you can actually come to understand what made Hannibal Lecter the way he is. You get to crawl inside the past, and see what brought Lecter to his twisted mind.
There are moments of sadness, moments of joy in Hannibal Rising. There is also that feeling of completion when you reach the end. You know that the story is finished. There is no need to bring about yet another sequel, the story is properly ended. Wonderful story, well written.
I give this 5 out of 5 stars. This is a definite must read.
Ok, I have to admit first and foremost that this move was not what I was expecting. To tell the truth, I was looking for something funnier and more kid-like. What I got was a sweet, heart-warming story that had it’s funny moments. With so many actors and actresses lending their voices to the various characters, I was expecting a much funnier movie.
While the fact that it wasn’t as funny was disappointing, the movie itself wasn’t a disappointment. It truthfully called attention to what very likely is a growing problem with the food chain of the penguins, but that is neither here nor there. Happy Feet is sweet, heart-warming, and cute.
I give it 3 of 5 stars.
