Supertrain (1979)
Too bad NBC didn't get it right
Supertrain looked like it had potential but NBC screwed it up big time. I remember seeing promos with train racing out of the Grand central tunnel all the time and watching Express to Terror then it disappeared. If NBC hadn't rushed it through production and let the writers make decent material it might have lasted longer. I wish someone would bring it back and get it right this time. Retooling a show is usually a death sentence for it. Why did they change things after three episodes? If your gonna spend that kind of money on a show you have better keep at it until it works. NBC put all their effect into getting the effects to look realistic but never tried to fix all scripts before any were filmed. I am guessing most of the screenplays were first or second draft versions.
Anastasia (1997)
A great movie ruined by the ending
warning possible spoilers
I know about the real history of the Romanovs , its possible the real Anastasia survived ,because two Romanov bodies are missing , ALexei and one believed to be Anastasia or Maria. THe movie was great , however if FOX is going to change history they should go all the way and let her keep her crown and Dimitri. I feel the plot was wasted by the ending. She goes on a journey to Paris to find out if she is Anastasia or not. Vlad trains her to act like a Romanov. She meets her grandmother and finds out she is Anastasia. Marie throws a big ball and dresses her in a beautiful gown and crown ,all for nothing!!! She never goes to the party or even returns to her life as Anastasia. At the end she doesn't even look like she cares if she is Anastasia or not. Sadly a movie who's plot and effects by the characters is wasted by a lousy ending.
