The Cutting Edge: Going for the Gold (2006)
Who was Kate?
For what it was, it was OK...a lot like the original movie especially with the spoiled-ness and getting everything handed to her. The same on the flipping the skirt up. It did clear up the ending of the original when it was left unclear whether or not Kate and Doug medaled after their program. I did think perhaps the original Kate and Doug would have captured more attention and maybe made the ratings a little better. Little disappointed on the new Christy Carlson-R...hard to see her go from a sweet innocent girl to a girl drinking and swearing. But who was Luanne in the movie? I had seen Christine Larkin in "Step By Step" but didn't recognize her in this movie. And who played Kate? I didn't see her character listed in the cast credits...maybe someone can shed some light on this.
Little House on the Prairie (2005)
Excuse me...are we missing a child???
Hey...I watched the series and read the books! Where is Carrie??? Am I the only one that remembered the lost child? Carrie really existed so where is she in the movie??? For those who don't know, in Laura Ingalls Wilder's books, Carrie was a baby when they left Wiss! In Laura Ingalls Wilder's first book, "Little House In The Big Woods", in chapter 1 on page 2 in the beginning of the third paragraph, it reads, "So far as the little girl could see, there was only one little house where she lived with her Father and Mother, her sister Mary and baby sister Carrie.". And what's with this "Jack"??? Jack from the beginning was a bulldog! In the same book and the same chapter on page 3 in the second paragraph, it reads, "Her father's gun hung over the door and good old Jack, the brindle bulldog, lay on guard before it.". I let this go in the series that their Jack was a sheep dog mix but the Australian Shepard/Blue Heeler mix does not cut it...if they say they are going to base the movie on the books, then shouldn't they? I understand that for those of you that have no real appreciation of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her books, you probably could really care less but I just feel that if you're going to base the movie on someone's writings, at least they could have done was follow the book the best they can! Would it have been a real problem for them to have used a baby for Carrie? It seems to me that using a baby for Carrie would have really captured the true challenge to travel across undeveloped territory in a covered wagon with a baby instead of their Caroline riding carefree up with Charles. And would it have been a real problem for them to have used a real bulldog?
