Stephen King calls this the best film based on his works. It is easy to see what he likes about it.
Frank Darabont directed this short film at the age of 24. At about 30 minutes in length, it tells the story of a man who is watching his mother slowly die in great pain. He must make the decision of whether to allow her suffering to continue or to help release her from her pain forever.
The story was a tough one for King to write, and was loosly based on his own mother's death. The acting by Michael Cornelison is fairly good and the performance by Dee Croxton, who relies on simple facial movement, is also done well.
Don't watch the film if you are looking for King horror, for there is none (except one nightmare sequence). Darabont, in his directing debut, shows why he became such a force in the film world. His style here is very good, and forshadows his extraordinary King adaptions, The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.
An interesting side note, is that Croxton later appears in The Green Mile. Brian Libby, who plays a prisoner in Woman, also reappears in both Shawshank Redemption and Green Mile.
If you are a fan of King's short stories or a film scholar who wants to see how a short film can be done right, check this out.

WCW Monday Nitro is a good WRESTLING show. Old School Wrestling fans would like the wrestling action by such performers as Sting, Booker T, Lance Storm, Jeff Jarrett and others.
It is not as risk taking as it's rival WWF, but the story lines are much better than they used to be. The federation is struggeling to keep it's intensity with troubles within the company costing them many performers to the WWF. WCW Nitro is necessary to keep the intensity level high in both this show as well as it's rival RAW is War.
Don't compare WCW with WWF. Take WCW Nitro for what it is - it's own show with it's own brand of story telling that may not be as controversial as WWF, but is exciting in it's own right.
If WWF Raw is a 10 out of 10 then WCW Nitro is a 8 out of 10. Don't listen to everyone else's opinion of it, judge for yourself.

First of all, I go to a movie to be entertained. By that measure, Dracula 2000 was a success.
I think Gerard Butler was a good fit in the role of Dracula. Who said Dracula was not supposed to be good looking. He is a classic vampire who not only can strike fear in victims but also seduce the women as well. Dracula had his "harem" and they were also played well in the movie, as jealous and cruel vixens.
Justine Waddell was a good fit for the protagonist, as she fit the typical "woman in distress." My only qualms about the film was the typical horror plot devise that the people went to the one place they never should think of going. Justine went straight to the bedroom when she knew there was something wrong up there. One of the early victims went into the casket after the leach attacked his eye. How can you sympothize with a victim that stupid.
Jonny Lee Miller (aka. Sickboy) was a pretty good fit as the co-protagonist. I was disapointed that Christopher Plummer did not have more of a role.
And the ending. No one liked it. I loved it. The plot twist was genious. I predicted a similar twist half way through but it was still carried out well and was good symbolically. If you want a exciting movie with a good story, check this out.
