Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing Story (2000)
Where did our Anne go?
I just saw the film and I have to say that I was a bit disappointed.I had waited for long time to see the new Anne.There was not the same atmosphere that had been in the two previous films. There was no more beautiful scenerys,beautiful scenes or the same warmth.Anne seemed to have lost her imagination and she wasn't anymore that sweet,romantic person that we got to know almost 15 years ago. The fact that Colleen Dewhurst wasn't in the new Anne changed the whole atmosphere.As a credit to Kevin Sullivan I have to say that he understood that no one can replace the sweet and charming Colleen as Marilla. No one cn write like Lucy Maud Montgomery and it was clearly seen in this new film.Kevin Sullivan is very gifted writer and director,but no one just can write like LMM.I hated the idea of Jack Garrison and especially that line when Anne says to Jack that she'll always think Dominic as their child and later adopted the baby.Anne's true love was Gilbert.We all know that.Even Megan Follows said that.What was the idea of Jack??!!!?? It would've been wonderful to see a film based on "Anne's house of Dreams". I have to admit,though,that this new movie also made me cry.When Anne walked in Green Gables and suddendly we heard Marilla's voice and saw all those beautiful scenes I just had to cry.But this movie touched me only when Anne was talking about her life in Green Gables.I missed Colleen so much when I was watching this film.The film would've been so different if she'd been in it. I have to give credit to Megan Follows and Jonathan Crombie for their marvelous work.There is so much chemistry between them.They are the only Anne and Gilbert that there ever will be. I wish that they will still make Anne 4 and that it would be made according to LMM's books.And hopefully they would show that this Anne 3 was just a nightmare. In total,disliked the storyline,loved Megan,Jonathan and Schuyler and missed Colleen. I'm glad that I know how the real Anne story goes and I know how happy Anne and Gilbert were after their engagement.
Santa Barbara (1984)
The greatest Tv show ever
Santa Barbara was very unique.Its great writing and amazing cast were something that has never been seen on TV. Santa Barbara created couples that will never be forgotten. Actors like Harley Jane Kozak,Lane Davies,Marcy Walker,A.Martinez,Jed Allan,Judith McConnell,Robin Mattson,Nancy Grahn etc. were outstanding.Cast like that will never be seen again. Through Santa Barbara we were able to live through most wonderful feelings and see the most beautiful lovestories. Santa Barbara will never be forgotten! We,the fans, will always be grateful for those beautiful memories that SB let us have.
