I went into this hoping that it was going to be something I was really going to like but it makes me twitchy and jumpy and it's hyper and shrill and not necessarily intelligent. I was really disappointed as someone who is a very great admirer and constant viewer of PBS The character of Barbara is just too over the top and the whole thing is off kilter as far as far as I can see. I've seen the first two episodes and that's enough for me.

I've seen this movie four times cuz it seems to pop up on dish every five minutes. It's got some incredible scenery in it and the acting is First rate. I'm particularly swept away by the inimitable Omar Sharif and his portrayal of Colorado. That man can be anything. It has an incredible pace I will be hearing the hooves for all time. The special effects of the earthquake are stunning. I really enjoyed the movie.

If Brad Pitt and that peanut butter weren't in it I wouldn't watch it for five minutes. One-dimensional characters and so much dialogue I drowned in it. I kept waiting for something that was worth watching it for and there never was. The thing that got me was the really vague script and I'm not a fan Anthony Hopkins anyway and the rest of those people lost me somewhere between all the cakes and party planning and the fireworks. 2 stars for Brad and the peanut butter.
