Post Their Eyes Were Watching God
Who's watching this tv-movie presented by Oprah?
It stars Halle Berry and will be airing tonight at 9:00pm on ABC.

Quite frankly, if you have even only watched 15 minutes of abc in the past 2 months you have seen the ads. ABC has been very promo-heavy with big projects and shows like this one and LOST and ALIAS.

Not a fan of tv-made movies myself, I am actually looking forward to this one quite impatiently.

Who else wants to watch it?
How do you guys think it will be?
If I'm not mistaken it is adapted from a book.

If they released it in theaters it would definitly have had the Oprah-effect. Expect big ratings because Oprah has talked about it a lot.

They should have just titled this movie "Ack ack, where's DH and BL???" cause that's what most people will say when they see it.

Well I watched it and I must say I was disappointed. Not to mention it ran a half hour more than was shceduled. I mean that much of it was planned. If it was 5-7 minutes, you'd say they were off, but you can't be a half hour off when programming.

It wasn't that bad, but it was very average and not enough development in story and especially character. The last half hour was of course the best but the rest before it doesn't make up for it.

I'd give it a B- because there was some effort put into it just not enough and not very effective. I didn't believe the core love relationship Berry had with the last guys. This could have been made into a great, better written and expanded mini-series.

I hear it got really high rating though.
