It’s rather brilliant, actually. Just when most freshmen have resigned themselves to spending Valentine’s Day with a pint of Chunky Monkey and “Sex and the City” DVDs, personally addressed Valentines arrive in their mailboxes. Excited by the prospect of a secret admirer, they open the cards—only to discover that they were taken in by an advertising gimmick...
...deep, dirty first kiss, and the prelude to fatal sexual enslavement. Hannibal Rising isn't nearly that much fun. It doesn't, in the manner of its hero, take a bite out of you.

For the price, however, this is one model that Veedub can credibly say rocks...
...that's a compliment. Even if the comic-book-y script doesn't let her exercise many acting chops, she's perfect for this heavily physical action role, not just easy on the eyes but possessed of the grace and poise that lends her a stature greater than her pint-sized frame. Produced by effects master James Cameron, the pilot is a visually breathtaking and stylish can of whoop-ass that your TV is probably too small to handle...
