Mermaids (2003)
Could have been worse...
I had the opportunity to watch this movie one night on PAX tv. It is about three mermaid sisters who are looking for revenge on the fisherman who murdered their father. One of the sisters lives on land, the other comes up every now and then for a "good time" and the third has never set foot on the ground before and hates all human beings. This provides some extra conflict when deciding what to do about the fisherman, which I have to admit really helped the story along. There are several subplots of sibling rivalry, romance, etc. some of which probably could have been left out. The special effects really were not bad for a low budge-made for tv movie. They also explore a lot of old mermaid lore, which was pretty interesting. All in all it really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. If you liked the movie "Splash" I would give this one a chance. Who knows; you might get HOOKED. LOL
The Ghost Writer (1990)
When I fell in love with Anthony Perkins...
I remember this show vividly because I had taped it when it aired and watched it over and over again when I was a kid. To the best of my knowledge there was only one episode. It was about a really eccentric author played by Anthony Perkins who marries your all around average woman. Both had children, who were also radically different from each other. Everything is just peachy until Perkins' ex-(and I should mention deceased) wife decides to have her say in his remarriage.... It's like the Brady Bunch meets The Munsters meets Ghost. I loved it for the cheesy special effects, the corny jokes, and for of course, Anthony Perkins. If anyone out there is able to get their hands on the episode, I would definitely give it a try!
