An American Christmas Carol (1979)
Not just another Christmas Carol movie
First saw this many, many years ago, have always liked it. One of my ONLY Christmas traditions is watching a Christmas Carol, this gives me one more to view. I LOVE this movie, i purchased it on VHS for my wife, quite a few years ago, then hunted down the DVD version when VHS went our the window and NOW I own the blu-ray version and watch the online version every year, at least once usually I watch it three to four times.
This movie is worth watching, but do yourself a favor, forget about The Fonz for at least the time it takes to watch the movie, do not be the typical jerk who sees Henry Winkler and immediately says "Fonzie"
The Outsider (2020)
Great book, decent movie
Liked this movie, but was upset about them changing the Holly Gibney character that already existed. Holly in the books was not an alcoholic, and she was not afraid of flying and the character was just so different from the one in the book. If the new actor had played her correctly the movie would have been much better.
Mr. Mercedes (2017)
As always book is WAY better!!
Liked these movies, but they changed so many things. Added characters who did not exist, added a ton of stuff that did not happen and kinda ruined some of the theme of the book.
Loved the characters of Holly, Jerome and Bill, but why write out the character of Mrs. Robinson, why kill off Pete Huntley and why add Ida (Holland Taylor, great actress but why?)
So many changes that were unnecessary, what makes a Hollywood writer think he can make a Stephen King book better??? Sheesh.
The Legend of the Lone Ranger (1981)
Haters gonna hate
I first saw this movie when it came out in 1981, I was 12 years old and at that time there was a Lone Ranger cartoon on every saturday plus you could still sometimes see Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels early Sunday morning. I absolutely loved this movie as a kid, spent a lot of years trying to find it on VHS and later DVD, with very little luck.
Was the movie great, no. But I loved it and still do, in my opinion it is leaps and bounds above the Disney one released not so long ago.
Spenser: A Savage Place (1995)
reply to original poster
You have obviously never read a Spenser novel, if you had you would not say that Joe Mantegna was a good Spenser, and the guys who played Hawk were useless compared to Avery Brooks. Ernie Hudson as Hawk, come on, what a joke. He's a great actor, but he's no Hawk. Anyone who has ever read a Spenser novel will agree Robert Urich WAS Spenser, and Joe Mantegna isn't.
Saying that the A&E Spenser is better than the Urich Spenser is just nuts, and shows no taste at all. I agree with the second guy who said that it was an asinine comment, there was only one good Spenser, and he died a few years ago, it was a sad day for all Spenser fans, no matter what anyone says Spenser on TV died with Robert Urich.
