I first became interested in Roots when I heard about it on the Disney Channel movie "The Color of Friendship" in 2001. The next time it resurfaced was in Jan. 2002, when Hallmark was going to reair it. Rather than wait (and waste tape) for every night, I bought it on DVD. It is amazing how the crew acheived the dream of Alex Haley's ancestors horrid past, from slave capture to auction, to escape to crippling, to being sold and death. The one thing that shocked me the most was how the KKK was involved in that family's life. When there were funny moments, I laughed and when there were sad moments, I wept. To sum it up: Roots is a masterful miniseries that no family should be without.

OMG! This was and is the best movie of 2001! Peter Jackson has done a fantastic job of bringing the novel to the screen! He's remained faithful a lot more than Chris Columbus did! The effects dazzled the entire audience, they were cheering for Strider in battle, AND surprisingly, some people (including myself) were actually frightened. It was the simple things like ringwraiths and urik-hai. To sum it up LOTR: Fellowship is the best movie I've seen this year and deserves to win the BEST PICTURE at the Oscars

Oh my God! I am a teen, and I LOVED this movie! The humor & dialogue was great, and Billy Crystal's chemistry w/ John Goodman was genius! Boo was my favorite character, and she was so great! Normally I'm a tough guy, but when Boo would cry or be scared, I would be in tears, like at the end. All and all, the movie was great, and if there would be a sequel, I would definetly see it!
