err...right. technically its probably as bad as they say, at least, its not a particularly *bad* movie, it just doesn't seem to fit the description "movie" at all. it doesn't flow, the acting can't be believable because i felt i was watching people acting in drama class, i felt i was actively watching, going through the story with them, waiting to see what the storyline would be, waiting for them to tell me what would happen next/to see what they were going to do... in other words, i didnt get drawn into a whole other world, i didn't get lost in it, i never left my iMac (well i was going to say sitting room, but i was watching DVD on my computer) i still don't feel i've watched a movie, or that it waaz a movie. but it was nice, and enjoyable. and there are some nice songs, and interesting outfits (nb see it was also like sitting in front of a fashion show waiting to see what they were going to show me next) so if you want a hollywood blockbuster give it a miss if you would like to spend an hour or two with the divie Mariah Carey and the gorgeous (though less so in this) Max Beesley (think Tom Jones) seeing what they've got to show you......

fantastic series inspired even if not adapted from Wuthering Heights I was glued to the screen for the first episode and was distraught to find I had to wait a whole week for the conclusion. gripping, dramatic, emotional. the two lead characters had few scenes together, yet the connection between them was unmistakable. A review in the Newspaper was scathing, mocking the writer for claiming it was a modern day Wuthering Heights; I found this odd - the similarities are plainly obvious for anyone to see. Maybe its better to say it was beautifully inspired by the classic, which is itself woven throughout the programme. From the trailers I expected Sparkhouse to be an average run-of-the-mill story of teen lovers, but I was wrong. It is a brilliant dramatisation of TRUE love.

Will Smith. Matt Damon. Jack Lemmon. inspirational film about a heroe who is broken by the war, helped to become great again. it should have been fantastic. epic. sensational. but somehow it wasnt. and i have no idea why. i remain extremely grateful a film with such ideal elements was made, but go away feeling i didnt quite get it. anything.

maybe it was because the style was comic-strip. if they'd made it to seem real maybe it would have worked. there was something missing.
