When I heard that Director, Peter Jackson, was indeed going to film his version of King Kong...I was so excited. When the film came out, some of the reviews were not as positive as I expected. Once I saw the film..I was overwhelmed by its beauty and power. I was crushed and confused and dumbfounded, when the film was not nominated for Oscars...for..Best Director, Best Picture, etc. What happened? There must be a lot of jealous feelings in Hollywood, towards Mr. Jackson. He won so many Oscars for the.. Lord of the Rings.. trilogy, that I guess they felt he had enough. It is pitiful. King Kong.. deserved to win the Oscar for, Best Picture and Best Director. Peter Jackson rocks!...he makes better movies than anyone else in Hollywood. I don't go to the theater much anymore. It is easier to watch films, rented, from the local video store but, I would go to see any film with his name attached to it. What a genius. Keep making movies that folks want to see, Mr. Jackson. I also buy your films so that I can watch them over and over again. You are making classics!

I really enjoyed the storyline..but, of course, it would be interesting to see if the old boyfriend still loved her if she had not looked like, Lisa Hartman, who....ANYONE..would want to reconnect with!. Seriously, I like Dale Midkiff because..(yes, he IS handsome)..but he knows how to be vulnerable in every role that he plays. You can't help but notice his charming good looks and then he keeps you interested in the story, simply because the man is a good actor. Is it me?...or does he possess an 'Elvis' quality that is pure magic... Whatever it is...Mr. Midkiff..you have convinced me. I am a big fan now. Keep on making those lovely, family-oriented films on Hallmark...stick with Michael Landon,Jr....who, himself,is following in his father's remarkable and capable footsteps. June Robertson...Memphis.

How wonderful to see the re-runs now of "Cheyenne". Clint Walker was my mother's favourite western actor. She loved the way he looked and the way he talked and his soft-spokeness. I don't think she would have cared if Mr. Walker could even act because he was so 'gorgeous' to her. Fortunately, he was terrific in his role and we never missed an episode. Those were the days of real television..the 'Golden' days, I think they call them and you can see why. Families could sit down and watch such great shows together and not worry about bad language or overt violence. Since I was growing up in England, I learned a lot about America and the old western days. It was fascinating and gave me the courage to come over and see it,years later. It is still fascinating and thank goodness we can all see these shows again and truly realise how great they were.
