here's a little about that one

The Christmas Shoes

1hr 35min

Shirley Douglas, Dorian Harewood, Rob Lowe ...more

This sentimental made-for-TV drama was based on the bestselling novel by Donna VanLiere, which in turn was inspired by the popular song of the same name. Rob Lowe stars as Robert Layton, a workaholic attorney who sorely neglects his family, even during the Christmas season. Clearly, Layton is overdue for a "humanizing" treatment, which comes in the form of a little boy named Nathan Andrews (Max Morrow). Learning that his mother, Maggie (Kimberly Williams), is dying from congenital heart failure, and unable to financially rely upon his underemployed father, Jack (Hugh Thompson), Nathan goes about collecting tin cans ...

Nathan's plight not only touches Layton, but also has a heartwarming trickle-down effect on the lawyer's estranged family. The Christmas Shoes debuted December 1, 2002, on CBS. ~ Hal Erickson,

hope this helps

Where the first is nice, sweet and melodramatic [and, yes, extremely well photographed], the latter transcends its melodrama and becomes something else together. And in terms of its photography, it's simply astounding.

I haven't seen Black Narcissus but I will if I get the chance. To tell you the truth, The Red Shoes was a bit too melodramatic for my taste, but it looked damn good. Especially the famous dancing scene was breathtaking.

now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.



Oooooh, good one, Silver, real good. No joke, buddy, no f_cking joke. You have noticed Internet lingo. So what if I choose to write in short sentences, live with it. It's shorter and easier for everyone [except of course, those who are forced to read it]. Tell me something here, do you expect everyone to type in proper grammar ONLINE, the one place where no-one has to? Maybe if I was writing something serious, but not in a two-line post, buddy.

EDIT: Now, doesn't that look a whole lot nicer? Don't make me do this again, Bubbles.
