Murder in Mind (2001)
"O.M.G!"
Having been a fan since the start of this series, it's always interesting to see who the next victim is. Those who are unaware, the actors / actresses of these 'Murder In Mind' shows are in fact famous TV Actors past and present.
One show I remember in particular was Steve McFadden (Phil Mitchell is Eastenders) playing the Husband of a cheating Wife. He hired himself a guy (Keith Allen - comedian / 'Fat Les' front man) to kill her but with a twist that made himself the murderer. How? Well thats the cleverness of the story / plot. The 'hit man' had a name that when the letters were re-arrange, spelled out the Husband's actual name... and when confronted ... the hitman never existed. Cool or what? More to the point, it was nice seeing 'Rodney Trotter' playing a devious landlord. Shows the actors true potential and also shows they can cope with any role and be convincing. I certainly was, because I was gob smacked at the end. As I was after every Murder In Mind show.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)
Lack of Ooompf!
I feel that had James Cameron been involved in this film, it would have been a different story altogether. I have always loved Mr. Cameron's work and I know that himself and Arnold Schwarzenegger make a good team. When I found out Mr. Cameron was not working on T3 I knew it wouldn't have the same 'feel' to it as T1 and T2 had. T1 had a scary / fearful-like sensation. T2 was the same, where by Sarah Connor, John Connor and the T-101 were running away from the T1000. Good storyline and plenty of plot and action. T3 as soon as it started u could feel it was not going to be the same. The past two Terminator movies started with a future image, the began showing the Terminator arriving. Then seeing the enemy. In this case we saw John Connor's life, the TX arrive cause a stir. The see the Terminator arrive, to then take part in a humorous plot.
I loved every minute of the movie because I was excited to see it. But in comparison to the last two, I was disappointed in the storyline / plot.
I sure hope there is a T4 or that James Cameron does a remake of T3. His way!
