Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

BlackJack_B My brother and I discovered Sidney Sheldon's books in 1995. Make no mistake about them, though: they're not for kids. People have called him a schlockmaster; that all his books are trashy soap operas filled with goody-two shoes sexpot heroines, nasty villains, very little logic, and plenty of steam. Yet, once you start reading one, you won't stop; it's lurid fun and he has a way with words to describe what's happening. With his patented "italics", which describe what the characters are really wanting to say or are thinking (much like Martin Tupper from "Dream On") and his exotic locales, the man has been a success. Yes, his books are sleazy, nasty, sex-filled escapades, but they're great fun. A guilty pleasure.I was looking forward to seeing this T.V. miniseries because "Nothing Lasts Forever" was the first book we bought. The story is about the lives of three women doctors from different backgrounds who work at a county hospital in San Francisco. Granted, there was stuff in the book that couldn't be shown on T.V., but most of the story was compelling and tame enough to show. Instead, somebody decided to completely re-write the story in some half-assed fashion, and the result is awful for anyone who was a fan of the book. It would take "forever" to mention the changes, but the one I love is the casting for Dr. Betty Lou "Honey" Taft. Ms. Taft was described as an average-looking woman. They cast BROOKE SHIELDS! BROOKE SHIELDS!! Well, I guess those crazy eyebrows hurt her looks...I don't think this miniseries is on video or DVD, but if it is, and you haven't read the book and you'd like to see Gail (NYPD Blue) O'Grady, Vanessa (Mrs. Rick Fox/Penthouse Scandal) Williams. Brooke, Gregory (B-Level Hunk/Gonzo) Harrison, and Chris (Sex And The City) Noth in a tame film with horrible fully clothed sex scenes (the one with Noth and Williams is pathetically done), go on ahead. Otherwise, read the book and just imagine.

Streetwolf Okay the casting is confusing at the beginning, but it gets easier later on. Paige(Gail O Grady), Beth (Brooke Shields) and Kat (Vanessa Williams) are 3 brilliant doctors each with a different life story. Paige is a compassionate woman, whose father died in a plane crash and she is one of the best surgeons around. Beth has a family of top doctors known all over USA and lives with the constant defeat of having to live up to her family name. She also has bad taste in men at the beginning,she then gets involved with Ben Wallace (Gregory Harrison) who is the hospital administrator and let's not forget he is a married man as well. Kat is a young beautiful Afro-American doctor, whose background includes violence in her family, which has led to several scars to her adult life. She gets involved with another doctor at the hospital named Ken Mallory. So life isn't hunky dory for them, but they do their best everyday and as time goes on their roles as doctors lead them in their own separate ways. Paige gets chosen to work under the best surgeon, Dr. Barker, but he is a pain and pushes Paige to the limit at every turn. She then gets a patient named John Cronin (Lloyd Bridges R.I.P)who is dying of cancer and is always in great pain. A bond between doctor patient slowly changes and becomes a good friendship, but when Cronin's medicine doesn't help anymore he turns to her to kill him in the name of mercy. Kat meets a young boy named Aaron, who is badly beaten by his father. She tries to help out, but fails and the second time she tries to help she gets involved in a car crash and later on dies. At the time of her death she is pregnant by her boyfriend Mallory, who doesn't want to be in the child's life, but after Kat's death he decides to step in. Beth tries to stand up to her father and Wallace is constantly trying to pretend that he is saving her and himself from humiliation now that Paige has been arrested for murder of John Cronin, apparently he was rich and his wife seems to have a problem with Paige getting some of Cronin's money. It's worth a watch, but it is quite confusing the first episode and the second episode was too fast. They were making a two-episode mini series, I think they should have made it a 3-episode mini series so that they could cover the parts that were important. Beth and Kat's lives aren't much of the issue in this mini series, it's focused on Paige mostly.

gazineo-1 Boring adaptation of a Sydney Sheldon novel about the lives and the relationships of three young interns (Grady, Shields and Williams) in a great hospital in São Francisco. Overlong and without nothing to appreciate; the story is lame and predictable and the cast gives cardboard performances all around, especially the three lead actress. Only Lloyd Bridges and Mc Raney gives some sparky moments in their scenes. I give this a 5 (five).

Knight Of The Cross Of course, Sidney Sheldon's novel was much better than movie. Gerald Di Pego made too much changes in the plot. If you've read the novel you can notice many differences. For example, in movie Ken Malory didn't kill Vanessa Williams' character and there wasn't a character named Alfred, he was the first Paige's fiance. Yes, I like the novel more than movie, but I can't say that this movie is bad. If you haven't read the novel and will watch this movie first, I think, if you like romances, you will like this movie, especially women.
