Caught in the Act (2004 TV Movie)
Nice...
17 May 2004
Warning: Spoilers
It's nice to see a light hearted movie made about a husband cheating. Lauren Holly plays Jodie Colter a housewife with a horrible southern accent out for information on her cheating husband after the PI she hired cheats her! Along her way, she makes friends with her lawyer and another woman who's husband did the same thing. When her friend winds up dead, Jodie must find out information on her husband as well as the why her friend died. Jodie uses her own smarts to find out information about her husband without him knowing. She goes to lengths to contact the husband's new girlfriend and pretends to be her friend all the while gathering information to use against him in court. When her court day happens, it was nice to see the woman win out in court. Watching her husband squirm on the stand provided laughs when confronted with the evidence against him.

This was a cute movie, aside from the horrible southern accents on the show.

Titanic (1997)
10/10
Amazing...simply amazing.
27 April 2004
Rarely has a film as long as Titanic kept my attention span for the full length of the film.

I didn't even want to go see this movie in the theater. My sister, who could not drive at the time, and her friend wanted to go and offered to pay my way in. I figured what the heck, a free movie.

Within the first 10 minutes of the movie, I was hooked. The scenes between Rose and Jack were very well written and everything about the movie was great. Jim Cameron truly showed what life was like on the Titanic with the steerage people (3rd class) being the low men on the totem pole. The tear jerking scenes between the Irish woman and her 2 children and the elderly couple in bed towards the end were probably some of the best scenes I've viewed in a long time.

Great movie!

Due South (1994–1999)
Such a great show
27 April 2004
Why is it all the good shows get canceled early?

Due South was no exception.

I didn't even watch the show's first season. I had never paid any attention to it being on. Only after catching an episode of the second season on tape at a friend's house was I drawn into this quirky show.

Who would have thought that a TV show starring a Dudley Do Right cloned member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (a mountie) who lives by the rules and a sharp tounged Chicago Detective who lives to bend the rules could be such a fantastic show? This is a prime example of a fantastic show that was canceled way too early.

But we had it for 4 years and that is better than nothing.

Backdraft (1991)
Nice enough, but far from the truth
26 April 2004
After growing up in a firefighting house hold, the first thing I noticed about this movie were all the goofs that the firemen in the film did vs what goes on in real life. Anyway, with all that aside, Backdraft is good for entertainment values. But if you are thinking on becoming a fire fighter and watch this movie, trust me when I say this isn't even close to how it's done in real life.

Billy Baldwin and Kurt Russell put in a convincing performance of feuding brothers who grow up to be firemen themselves. Donald Sutherland also shines as the resident pyromaniac, Ronald. All in all, it's a good film that is worth seeing.

From someone who lived through this
11 March 2004
I've seen both documentaries about the Robin Hood Hills murders. I witnessed them first hand because I live in the city where those three little boys lost their lives. Only three people know what really happened on that fateful day: the victims.

Over the course of the past ten years, those self proclaimed innocent yet still in jail murderers have gained a lot as far as the lime light is concerned. What people fail to realize is that families were robbed of their children because of those three cowards. Miskelley

Echols and Baldwin permanently robbed the Byers, Branch and Moore families of watching their children grow up.

The film is basically a look into the lives of the detectives, families and police officers that were assigned the awful duty of finding out who committed the crimes. I believe that part of the film was done beautifully. One of the best parts of the movie was one of the little boy's fathers blasting pumpkins with a shotgun and claiming they were the heads of the ones in jail.
