darkavenger77 I enjoy both Lifetime movies and the TV show Supernatural. I often use terms from the latter in reviews of the former, such as gank when someone is killed. This one tries to combine both and fails. It's stupid, but not in the normal cheesy way some of us have come to love about Lifetime movies, it is a bad stupid.This movie starts out standard Lifetime fare with Shannon Elizabeth as the female in jeopardy. Even her quasi-amazonian beauty (she's taller than almost everyone else) can't pull this one above 1 star. It's obvious who the Lifetime psycho (LP) is early on despite an attempt to paint the ex-husband as the culprit. This would have made a decent hour long episode, but it went off the rails in the second half.Alex was in jeopardy once from LP Michael and then he fell off a cliff. His spirit then jeopardized her and others. She lets a low budget Miss Cleo instruct her on dealing with the LP, or the spirit that is the LP. Bad advice, as it didn't work! She should have called Sam and Dean Winchester! In the end, she ganks Michael's spirit and accepts the ongoing marriage proposal from Chris.The plus side- her boyfriend has a cool C2 Corvette, but of course he's not smart enough (despite being a lawyer) to use jackstands under both sides of it.It's something of a running joke that many Lifetime made in Canada movie actors have guested on Supernatural. It's kind of like the Canadian Law & Order in that respect. I got a chuckle out of the fact for this one out of the main cast, only the villain/spirit Michael (Christian Campbell) had played on Supernatural.One other observation- this situation brings to mind and reinforces Barney Stinson's hot/crazy scale from How I Met Your Mother. Alex is hot, so she's expected to be a lot crazier than the average Lifetime heroine.Regular movie score: 1/10 (higher is better). Lifetime movie score: 2/10 (higher is stupider).

Leofwine_draca Another piece of junk TV movie from Canada, YOU BELONG TO ME is a film of two halves. The first is a typical and cheesy stalker thriller in which a young mother, played by American PIE's Shannon Elizabeth, finds herself stalked by persons unknown, a psycho who stands around outside her house and provides a few POV shots.This being a made-for-television movie, you know things are never going to get too serious or violent and so it proves. There are sex scene cutaways and about two non-violent deaths in total. The writer gets bored with the whole predictable stalker plot around halfway through, so throws in a twist and then turns the film into a supernatural horror film. Elizabeth's character is consistent in that she still isn't believed. There's one special effect in the film, right at the climax, and it's very cheesy indeed. Elizabeth was pretty much the worst actor in the American PIE films and so it proves in this hopeless effort.

dnewwmann The first half of this TV film is pretty good. OK, well at least it is watchable and interesting. However, right at the 56 minute point, the film takes a turn that makes the rest of it almost unwatchable. The actors seem to know the story has gone astray, because their once fine acting in it, becomes really sophomoric. While not a total waste of time, it comes very close. Too bad! Shannon Elizabeth, Christian Campbell (Neve's real life brother) and the actor who plays Chris really deserve better than this piece of junk! It's also unfortunate, though understandable, for the actors and actresses who are in films for the first time. This won't look good on their resumes. Save time, look for another LIFETIME film to watch. Some are quite good, but this one isn't.

Murli I feel sorry for TV movies- honestly I do. It's as if they were made for one reason only- that they were not good enough to bring out on the silver screen i.e. movie cinemas in wide releases, and most seem to be targeted towards a single demographic audience- mature women. Many new TV movies (and I've unfortunately seen more than my fair share) have a woman as the lead in some sort of sad, pity-me tragic sort of role which requires them to take a huge challenge/mystery upon themselves and try to solve it and save themselves and everyone else that matters to them. The writers seem to give them the qualities of Xena, a model like look, and the skills of Nancy Drew which means that the police "detectives" in the movie are either too stupid or don't really have a clue as to how to do real police work.I have yet to see a really good female led TV move (and I really want to see one as I'm not a sexist pig!) but as far as this movie breaking new ground it actually takes a big leap backwards.Shannon Elizabeth looks good. And that's the only positive thing I can say about her. The plot, which started out interestingly enough, descended into the depths of garbage after fifteen minutes had elapsed. If the director or the screenwriters were attempting a shock twist in the who is it part they must have missed that lecture in their film school classes because it's a dead giveaway after the first few minutes of the movie. If anyone is surprised when the "revelation" is revealed...I would recommend that you buy some Where's Wally books and study them hard.I digress- back to Shannon. Her character commits every cliché that B horror/thriller/suspense movie leads are supposed to do. Her acting's never been her strong point but it wasn't as painfully evident until now. She pouts and screams and whimpers- none of it sincere nor believable. The rest of the cast ham their lines in either a bored fashion or one that suggests that they're only doing it for the paycheck.The plot became so ludicrous that I actually stopped watching so I don't even know how it ends but given that it's a TV movie rest assured that all's well that must end well. For my sanity it's best that I am blissfully ignorant as I can't imagine wanting to know what really transpires.So, if you're a HUGE die hard Shannon Elizabeth fan (send me your address and I'll send you a get well soon card) ignore this rant and enjoy yourselves before they turn out the lights in your padded cells. The rest of you can move onto something that's more interesting...like watching paint dry.
