Just got home and found Hannibal is on right now, it's great movie with some memorable moments and an excellent score. It made me think “can anyone but Anthony Hopkins play Dr. Lecter?” Brian Cox was first to attempt it in Manhunter. Although it was a good film, it didn't really hold a candle to the book 'Red Dragon' on which it was based and although Brian Cox did a good job, I didn't get the cold, calculated psycho feeling from him.
Then, of course, came Silence of the Lambs, when the world was properly introduced to the caged man that's ofter referred to the number one villain in Holloywood. The Antony Hopkins/Hannibal Lecter marriage is one of the few moments from Hollywood where someone made a genius casting choice, no one else could play the part! It's very much like Cathy Bates/Annie Wilkes or Jack Nicholson/Joker, silver screen perfection in my opinion.
Something about him just turns my blood cold, I'm not quit sure what, maybe it's the nonchalant way in which he commits his crimes or maybe it's the clam way he talks, showing just the tiniest hint of the genius hiding beneath..... Either way, I'm going to raise my glass of Chianti to one of the greatest literary characters and the guy who created him, Thomas Harris.
Ta Ta,

So, before you buy hoodia product, determine the credential of its manufacturers. It must first sort the good from bad food, arrange his schedule according to the meal, be deprived of what we love to cook two meals if you are with your family so as not to impose its choice to the other . Unique hoodia uses the 100 pure powder from the hoodia. Laboratory researchers have been known to isolate a set of particular compounds in the plant that have been reviewed to effectively work in suppressing thirst and hunger. A person will feel a sense of vigor and greater energy when digesting real hoodia.
