Nonureva Really Surprised!
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
bkoganbing Ghostwriter was this interesting show aimed for the juvenile trade to encourage folks to read. That's something you have to encourage at a young age. It was shot in and the episodes were located in some familiar areas of New York City and watching the show it all looked quite familiar to me.Just who or what was Ghostwriter. He was this other worldly being who could only and who chose to only communicate with a select group of adolescents by writing wherever, be it on a computer or on a bathroom wall. The kids got involved in solving a mystery and their method was to read Ghostwriter's clues and keep a case notebook of what they learned. Eventually they put things together.I remember one episode where Ghostwriter brought up some painful memories for people in Brooklyn. He had them go to Sullivan Place because an old ballpark was located there and that had something to do with the mystery. Kids their age in the 1990s would have no memories of Ebbetts Field, but they did the required research to learn. A show that teaches how to research is a valuable thing indeed.I wish it were still running.
roxy-100 This show is all kinds of sentimental. It was the reason i wanted to be a detective. I used to carry a magnifying glass every where i went. It was also the bearer of my first crush: Alex (the Latino boy who worked in his father bodega). It was also how i learned the word bodega at age 7. Hun. I just calculated that. I can't believe how much i retained at age 7. You'll find the movies on my "My Movies" list are mainly those that conjure some kind of sentimentality in me, and that is mainly why i use this site to reconcile long lost memories via film and television.P.S. It was a pretty good show, kids fighting, crime, monsters, together using any means their little minds could muster. It reeks of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. What a lovely stench.
crumbledstar A team of kids in New York City have a secret friend whom they call Ghostwriter! They'd check out clues and solve mysteries. This was my favorite show from age 8-13. Even now they show the original episodes on Noggin, which unfortunately I don't have. But I remember the spirit of the show, the uniqueness of it all. I had a crush on Alex, played by David Lopez. My sister and I were such fans we'd create our own unique notebooks and pens and seek mysteries of our own. We'd watch the show religiously and our parents knew not to disturb us haha. If possible, I hope to find and buy the entire series on either DVD or VHS because of the wonderful memories, plus it would be nice to keep and own a part of my history from that time in my life.
Kitty Pryde My siblings and I fell in love with the show as did our parents. We ate dinner in front of the television once a week to watch it. In a world were television is full of violence and gore this is important for kids to see wholesome television. I still rent the videos show it to the kids I baby sit.
