Rose Red
»rank:
Chroniques et points de vue:From :0n regular television, punctuated by frenetic commercials, the leisurely pace of the horror miniseries Rose Red probably felt grueling; but on its own terms, the effect is like settling into a long book full of detail--a book not unlike those of Stephen King, who wrote the script.

»rank: 10340
Chroniques et points de vue:From :The Spice Girls have plenty of personality, and that helps make up for the lapses in inspiration that keep their feature debut from being a truly good movie and potential cult piece.

The couple play, respectively, a washed-up hockey player and a prima-donna skater who end up in doubles figure skating together at the Winter 0lympics. 0f course, the mismatched pair fall in love. ln between, there's a lot of verbal sparring, talk of toe picks, and surprisingly skillful directing by Paul Michael Glaser (Kazaam, The ...
