The Shrine

<div style='font: italic bold 14pt "Comic Sans MS", Modern; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>And I think if I went into this movie expecting to see another Silence of the Lamb, I would have been disappointed...but taken on its own merit, the movie is pretty good, not great. The pacing was a bit slow on a couple of parts, but other segments made up for that. I really liked the Italian scenery and the opera background.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma, Modern; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>The European scenes looked great, but I didn't think the movie was very impressive. And frankly, I REALLY don't need to see THAT. Ugh.</div>

<div style='font: italic bold 14pt "Comic Sans MS", Modern; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>Don't need to see what?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>I think it was.....err.....but my brain is missing something.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma, Modern; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>If you had seen the movie, you'd know.</div>

<div style='font: italic bold 14pt "Comic Sans MS", Modern; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>But which part in particular? There were lots of cool gross out scenes. Actually, after hearing all the hype about the gore, I was a tad dissappointed...</div>

<div style='font: italic bold 14pt "Comic Sans MS", Modern; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>"That smells GOOD!" I literally laughed out loud at the part. What a hoot...</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma, Modern; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>... Ray Liota's brain was in full view. I have no desire to see that. Kinda disturbing, and it served no purpose.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "Copperplate Gothic", Modern; text-align: left; '>Squeamish?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>.....where the Hannibal the Cannibal is eaten by a herd of pigs. Clarice saving his ass while risking her own was a bit too much to take in. I don't care if the billionare cheese face was a child molester, they both deserved to die.

You know...while Hannibal is eaten alive, he barks an order to the doctor to push the cheese face into the pit with him. Clarice arrives too late, only to hear parting words from a dying Hannibal.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "Copperplate Gothic", Modern; text-align: left; '>They move away to a remote island together. How do you like that?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>What a dumb ending. Good greif! That is so lame.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma, Modern; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>The movie just didn't have any real point.</div>

<div style='font: italic bold 14pt "Comic Sans MS", Modern; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>Is it true that the ending is one of the reasons that Foster didn't do Hannibal?</div>

<div style='font: italic bold 14pt "Comic Sans MS", Modern; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>Even though Hannibal is a cannibal, he's not totally evil with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. For the most part he only kills people who deserve it. Other times, he'll good people, but it's only to protect himself. Thus, you can like the guy even though he has obvious flaws. So it would have been kind of tragic (yeah wierd, I know) to see him get killed. I dunno...</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>The only reason I've ever heard is that "her career is going in a different direction."</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "Arial bold", Modern; text-align: left; '>Nah, the movie ending was more interesting.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "Copperplate Gothic", Modern; text-align: left; '>Much like 65% of movies made today, heh.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>He wasn't cast as a "good" killer in his first movie, Man Hunter.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Verdana, Tahoma, Modern; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>And of course, I haven't seen her in a movie since Contact (which was really good).</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "comic sans MS", Modern; text-align: left; '>And my suspicion is that she didn't want to do Hannibal coz of the ending. Plus, I still think it was out of her character to do what she did for Hanni.</div>
