Love this movie! Seen in before probably close to 10 years ago now and it still fascinating to watch the story of Dian Fossey and her beloved gorillas.

Sigourney Weaver was the perfect choice to play this driven, tenacious and eccentric woman who went to extreme lengths to first study and then protect these endangered primates. Weaver has always pulled off roles as tough as nails women and near the end when she is starting to lose her grip, being ferociously protective of her gorillas her acting is brilliant.

Bryan Brown, a favorite of mine and one of the most underrated actors out there gave a great performance as well as the National Geographic photographer who falls in love with her but eventually has to leave her behind as he knows that he will always be second fiddle to her obsession.

Fossey's murder still remains a mystery but there was certainly no shortage of suspects including the poachers whom she tried her best to eradicate, the government who tired of her running off the tourists and some speculate even the men who worked for her may have killed her as they feared both her and her wild actions that could have rained trouble down on them all. Her actions defied all and angered many people but her sacrifice saved the species.

Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, a review by addicted2comics

Dr. Suess' How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Plot: The classic story of a creature in Whovile who plots to stop Christmas from coming, brought to life by none other than Jim Carrey.

My Thoughts: First let me start off by saying Jim Carrey is one of my favorite comedy actors ever. I like how the writers went into the Grinch's past, explained why he hated Christmas, and gave him a love life. It was hilarious at every turn in my opinion, but nothing really made me laugh out loud.I'll give this movie a 4 out of 5.

A great series which sadly only got one season. This series felt more real than any other TV series about high school life that I have seen. I was constantly reminded about my own school. Nothing specific but the general feel to it.
This series also introduced me to a lot of actors who later popped up in many movies and TV shows. Like James Franco, Jason Segel and Seth Rogen.
