Mermaids (2003)
Mermaids Excellent TV Series Pilot.. If Only!
We watched an excellent movie tonight on Sky. it was called MERMAIDS. it was a TV Movie, which was designed as a Pilot for a series. However the series has not yet been picked up. I wanted to tell you because people on IMDb were saying how it is similar to Charmed..It is about 3 Mermaid sisters. who come to dry land to avenge the death of there merman father who was murdered by a fisherman. Its very funny as one of the sisters has real trouble trying to walk in heals.
Everyone on IMDb were talking about it becoming a series. but it never got picked up. People are saying when Charmed finishes they wished this could have replaced it.
I totally agree. i would loved to have seen this movie as a TV Series. You could totally tell it was designed as a pilot to a series to. so its a shame.
Grave Secrets: The Legacy of Hilltop Drive (1992)
One of the Best TV Ghost stories around...
I first saw GRAVE SECRETS about 10 years ago and recently bought the DVD here in the UK. I myself am a paranormal investigator and found this movie to be one of the best movies based on a factual ghost story I've ever seen, Yes it is a TV Movie, So if you are expecting Special effects galore and Hollywood-ised horror then you wont get it here.
This is one of the most realistic movies based on ghosts and is mostly like how it really is. The story is based on actual events "the legacy of hilltop drive" and stars the amazing actress "Patty Duke" who is well known for all her excellent "based on real events" TV Movies.
This movie has an excellent story, and what makes it even more gripping and interesting is that its based on real events that happened to the whole neighbourhood at hilltop drive. Every house hold had a ghost and eventually the whole neighbourhood was empty as everyone eventually moved away as they could no longer take living with the ghosts. It is fact that the real Hill top drive is now a abandoned neighbourhood and no one lives there.
I highly recommend this movie to serious Patty Duke fans, and people who like a good ghost movie that doesn't have all the scary factor thrills that come from Hollywood movies. Although the movie IS SCARY, it just doesn't need special effects to make it scary!
The Raggy Dolls (1986)
Best Kids show of the 1980's!
The Raggy Dolls was the best kids show of the 1980's, I grew up watching the show and my parents bought me the dolls when they where released.
My favourite character was Lucy (the sweet one who kept falling apart at the seams) I think every child could relate to one of the characters because they where all so different and unique.
Lucy and Princess shaped my life as a child! It sounds silly now but when your little your life can revolve around certain things. And they had such a big role in my life and made me so happy as a child.
If only they would release the raggy dolls on DVD!! like that have so many other cartoon series' from the 1980's! If there is anyone out there listening.. We gotta see the raggy dolls on DVD it was massive when it was on TV. I think it would be just as popular on DVD.
