I think it was on Fox, and it was called, "Just One of the Girls". I only saw the last half of it, but I think I got the basic jist of the movie. Corey Haim was afriad of some kid at his school, so he (this is great!) he dresses up like a girl so this guy won't beat him up. Good enough, right? Ok, so next the guy who's going to beat him up falls for him, and starts sending him flowers, taking him out to dinner. etc. His parents think he's gay, some guy he's afraid of wants to jump him, and the girl he's after is his roomate at cheerleader camp. In the end of the movie, he gets up in front of the whole school, and whips off his cheerleader costume and embarrasses the hell out of himself. So the chick he was after slaps him; the guy who liked him is still going to kill him, and the whole school thinks he's a transvestite. But it's ok; because he's the keyboard player for a really cool band, and they play at some school event, so in the end everyone likes him again and nobody wants to beat him up. Did you get all that? Good. Definitely a must-see. Two snaps up. Oh yea. They had RuPaul playing in the background at all the commercial breaks. ================================================================================ Note 40.51 Movies! Movies!

JURASSIC PARK was not a great movie! Anybody who's read the book can tell you what a horrible adaptation it was. And if you're like me, and happened to read it before you saw the film, you'd a been incredibly disappointed, as I was. The movie had about half the # of dino's, decreased the roles or totally left out major characters, left out the entire beginning and ending of the story, and didn't kill all the people who were supposed to die! Lame indeed! If you really wanna see an excellent film, though, check out "HARD BOILED" by John Woo. Don't see it if you're offended by gratuitous violence, though, as more innocent bystanders get killed in this film as in your average action movie. Hong Kong film making at its best!

It was an excellent book, as was the movie. It is virtually impossible to reproduce any movie of film as it was written. You need to worry about time constraints, toning it down for younger audiences, and such. You have to admit, there are some things people can write that just can't be put on film. And likewise, there are cinematic pieces that can't be put in script. You can't fairly compare a book to a movie without looking at the whole picture.

Why would I want that? What I go to a movie when I have already seen it in my head. I liked the changes, and it kept me off balance because I did not know what to expect. Rising Sun on the other hand, is not a movie you could go to see if you want . . . anything. Except if you voyeristic and like watching the same sex seen over and over and over and over again. And of course, the other gratuitous nakedness they had for no reason whatsoever (other than to keep the audience in their seats instead of getting up and walking right out). It doesn't keep the viewer informed enough, even for a mystery. Although, it is a good plug for the book, because if you were interested in what happened and wanted to find out what the hell was going on, you'd have to read the book. Suggestion : read the book, rent a porno. -- Sceadeau ================================================================================ Note 40.64 Movies! Movies!

Both were great in their own right. I read up on the movie enough to know that they would have LOVED to throw in the rest of the dinosaurs, but they were ALREADY over budget as it was, and that new technology they used was _really_ expensive. Sigh. (Oh, and the kid's roles were changed a bit because they wanted the women to have a bit more of a role in the movie than they did in the book... which I don't mind. Nice to see a girl save something for a change... :) ) Liz ================================================================================ Note 40.65 Movies! Movies!
