"Tracked" Reviews
compiled by Jessi (elfsrcool@hotmail.com)

Hola! It's me again. I have composed the comments on Dean's movie
'Tracked' and now I present them to you. Feel privileged.


I saw the movie first on Showtime... I'm now tryin to track down a copy
to buy-- not rent, but buy cuz I want Dean's pretty little face on the
cover (& tryin to track down a poster of the movie) What did I
think of the movie, you ask? While I didn't think it was really
bad, I didn't think it was really good neither. Nothin was way to over
the top in the movie, but well... the cop did start to get on my nerves
after a while. But I'm not complainin. You got to see Dean kick some
major @$$ in this movie But, since I saw this movie when it came
on Showtime, I saw it had a BN in the beginnin. I was thinkin... "Dean
gets nude!" But no:( It wasn't Dean :( I was bummed :( But,
well... if you love Dean, are willin to sit through a so-so movie to see
Dean in boxers & a tank-top, & want to see him flex
those muscles of his. this is a great movie to see Oh! &
that music! I loved it! Those jungle drums!
Sharon

(In the words of my little brother, 'Ummm, she said a bad word!' But
that's OK, because I have to agree with her!)

I rented TRACKED 2 days ago!!!! I liked it. I thought it was a little
gory when they showed how the cop got bit by the dog! Tia Carrere was
hideous as the SOCIAL WORKER don't ya think? But Dean did look so
HOT!!! I like this movie and I'm going to buy it soon.
Angelica Alvarez

(I forgot that lady's name, so thank you for telling me. And yeah, it
was kind of gory, but that contributed to the R rating it got.)

I liked it. I liked the way Dean played Julian with an attitude problem
at the beginning, then made him a little more human. He looked HOT too.
Arrambide

(I must agree with you on all that, but especially about Dean being
hot!!!)

Hi! Love your e-mail adress :) elfs *R* cool Anyway, my opinion on
Tracked. Horrible Movie. Absolutely no point in it. Diolog was
attrotious, and it was too slow. But aside all this, I could watch it
1,000,000 times Cuz Dean is in it :) Must I say, he looked pretty
good in those padded protecters ;)
Erin

(Thanks about my e-mail address! But I don't agree with you on the idea
of this being a horrible movie. That's what my parents thought. Not even
15 minutes into the movie and they sent me downstairs to watch it
because they didn't like it! They are strange people.)

I thought this movie was very good. I mean, it had that "cable movie"
stamp on it, so I knew it couldn't be anything Oscar-worthy. However,
Dean was incredible (icredibly CUTE) and I enjoyed watching HIM. And
the movie was watchable, even exciting at times. One thing I didn't
like about the movie is that it was pretty violent, and a lot of people
got killed. Blood, ew. But Dean was, as he always is, gorgeous, I love
him, and I loved this movie.
Molly

(Cable movie? Yeah. Dean being incredible? In many more ways than one!
Oh and this has nothing to do with 'Tracked', but my cousins may be
going to Maui on vacation! Let's not leave you out on this bit of info
either... In the game SimCity 2000, Maui has a water shortage and I was
going to cry.)

I think we can all agree on only one thing about this movie. Dean was
REALLY hot in it! Wait, no, Dean is just really hot no matter what! And
I leave you with that fact. Now I'm going to go officially wake up.
Maybe I'll watch the animated Superman cartoon on WB or go work on my
multi-million dollar idea. And before you ask, it does have to do w/
Superman and I'm not telling you what it is because you'll steal my
idea. BYE!!!

Color Me Cristin
By: Cristin (well, that's a given )
CKandLL4ever@Juno.com

Color me obsessive. Maybe it's the freetime during winter break,
maybe it's the great amount of time I've been spending on IRC, maybe it's
the fact that *everyone* I know has given me Superman related gifts this
year... whatever it is, it sure is making me see L&C in *everything*!!!
You say that's normal? Well, let me give you an example...
So I was at the movies, right? Yes, I was. My friend, Lynnie, and
I were seeing Prince of Egypt. By the way, this movie is incredible! It's
very very very very (add more very's here ;o)) GOOD! Anyway, as I was
saying, we were at the movies. I was sitting there with my Surge and my
gummy bears sniffling at a sad part. All of a sudden, I look at Lynn and
say, "It's just like Superman!!!!"
Lynn, of course, looked at me like I was insane. Then again, she
always looks at me like that becase she is pretty convinced that I *am*
in fact insane.... but that's another story. I then explained that baby
Moses being sent down the river in his basket to save him from being
killed like all the other baby boys was quite a lot like baby Superman
being sent in his spacecraft to Earth so he wouldn't be killed like the
kryptonians. Yeah, I know... it's a stretch. In my mind, they were
similar, okay? Anyway, it's stuff like that which convinces me of my high
levels of obsession. So I'm an obsessive person, that doesn't make me a
bad person. Does it?
Oh, did I mention the temporary tattoos Jessica gave me for
Christmas? Well, Superman is out flying... across my midriff. That's
another story...

The Obsession Connection

Hi...I'm waiting for a good song to come on the radio. Witness me...waiting. And waiting. This is ridiculous, I'm putting in a CD. Much better!

I love youuuuuuu....for sentimental reasonssssss!

I love Dean, but not exactly for sentimental reasons. That song reminds me of my love for L&C. I am having a difficult time coming to grips with the fact that in a few days, I will no longer be able to look at my Lois & Clark 1998 calendar to find out what day it is. Sure, I have the Teri Hatcher 1999 calendar, but that's TERI (read: NOT DEAN). Do you realize 1998 was the first year with no new L&C's? And now it's almost over.

It makes me want to cry.

So I got the Buffy videos for Christmas. I screamed when I opened them. My mom almost had a heart attack when I screamed. I watched all six episodes and put the tattoos that came with the videos in my Buffy scrapbook. I have scrapbooks for all of my favorite shows. One for Buffy, one for Dawson's Creek, one for Ally McBeal except I'm not too into that show anymore, and I'm working on one for The Pretender.

Someone sent me a picture of Jamie Denton. I have no idea who, but if anyone out there knows something I don't, please tell me. Actually, I think Jamie Denton sent it. It's autographed to me, and there was no return address, and it was in an envelope that was folded. So I am guessing that someone I know, that knows I like Pretender, sent Jamie Denton a S.A.S.E. with my address on it--and now I have an autographe pic of Mr. Lyle.

And I have no idea why.

Oh, don't get me wrong. He's cute, in that "older man" kind of way. Not that he's old. I'm guessing late twenties, thirties. And no, he was never on L&C, in case you are wondering. He's Ms. Parker's twin brother, at least that's why the Centre folks would like us to believe. And it's not like I'd rather have an autographed pic of Jarod (OK, I would), but Mr. Lyle is the next best thing.

Have you ever gotten a mysterious package like that? Life is so weird!!

Today's topic is this: watching L&C in slow motion. Go ahead! Do it! Wear out your VCRs! I'm telling you, watching the show in slow-mo can and/or will give you a whole new perspective of the show. You'll get to see movements, facial expressions, and subtle actions that you may never have seen before. You can pick up the numbers written on the side of dumpsters (watch And The Answer Is...). You can watch Clark get shot in That Old Gang of Mine (and no, I am not morbid, because he did not actually die). You can watch that SUPER kiss SLOWLY in Just Say Noah. Whoever invented the slow motion button (and the PAUSE button) was a true genius.

But as clever as my VCR is, it is also evil. It ate 3 Buffy episodes (not the videos, but ones I'd taped awhile back). It tried to eat Futuresport but I wouldn't let it. I yelled. I said "NO, you stupid VCR! If you eat Futuresport, I swear, I will kill you. I will take you apart--risking electical shock--and throw your parts in the Pacific Ocean. I will then proceed to laugh. Ha."

And you know what? The VCR did not eat Futuresport! So, in conclusion, I would like to remind you that a little discipline goes a long way.

I love Dean!!!
