The Fugitive (1993)

Crooked Cops

[10/10 · 5 October 2008]

This is a wonderful movie. The story goes to show you that even in 1993 cops and prosecutors were just as crooked as they are today. Cops will twist the truth and make innocent people look guilty so they can "pretend" to solve a case and become a local hero. It is really sad how the law works. Most cops spend weeks not months or years in school and then all of the sudden they have a badge and that makes them invisible, above God. It's disgusting. I'm so sick of hearing about how cops care about the city, they protect you, blah, blah, blah. I have never once been in trouble with the law, and yet, the few I have met have been rude, ungrateful jerks. Maybe this post really has nothing to do with the movie, but people need to know that most cops are crooked jerks. As for 9/11, the real heroes that day were the fire fighters, not the lazy cops.

Faerie Tale Theatre (1982–1987)

A blast from my past

[9/10 · 13 February 2006]

I remember watching Faerie Tale Theatre as a child and in my opinion some of them were awesome and some were OK. I remember my parents renting them for me and my brother and watching them on TV. I watched all of them as a child, but only a few stuck in my mind over the years. My favorites: Rapunzel, Rumplestiltskin, Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel & Gretel, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstalk & Pinocchio.

I liked the other tales as well, but we all have our favorites. The actors are amazing. This show came out when I was two years old and I didn't know who any of these actors were. I just loved watching them. Looking back, all of the stars were very well known at that time and today, some are still famous, while others sadly died but are legends we will never forget.

I have to admit that the special effects and props are a little cheesy. They didn't have the special effects and technology back in the early 80's that we have today but everyone involved in this classic series did an amazing job making all of the tales come to life. This didn't stop me from enjoying them as a child and now as an adult.

I was in shock to find out that all twenty six episodes were released in a DVD collectors set last year. I just had to have them for me and for my unborn child due this summer. I am glad that I came across this set. Now I can enjoy them again and I hope my child enjoys them as much as I did one day. If you get a chance and want to get a taste of your childhood, watch them. If not, I think you are missing out. Enjoy!!

Growing Up Gotti (2004–2005)

Gotti

[10/10 · 1 February 2006]

This show is great. I have to admit I became addicted to this show. Victoria is a very educated woman who loves her children very much. I liked Luigi, he brought most of the comedy to the series. I was disappointed when A&E canceled it, but in reality, good things must come to an end.

I think it is horrible that people judge the Gotti family for honoring and loving their father & grandfather, John Gotti. Critics who claim this show is horrible and that they show off with so-called "blood money" are jealous who do not have the luxury and the lifestyle that Victoria and her sons have. Enough said.
