Major review post, part 2 can be found HERE.
So this is what all the fuss is about.
I’ve never been a big enthusiast when it comes to romantic movies, and this didn’t do much to change my mind.
As the chick-flick genre goes this is a good film, and delivers some twists and turns, which was good.
It didn’t take long for me to see where it was going though, or what the twist at the end would be, but I think it was a nice way to tell the story and follow the progress.
I think it’s worth a watch for anyone who’s a fan of the genre.
The X Files, season 1.
It took a while, but I finished season 1.
I don’t think I’ll continue any further though.
I could see that this brought a lot of viewers when the show first started, but watching it for the first time now it comes across as quite dated.
Also one thing that didn’t quite make sense to me was how defensive Scully was of Mulder from the early episodes. Yes, she was a sceptic, but she’d defend Mulder as best she could and it didn’t make quite sense to me that she would work one case with the guy and suddenly decide that she owed him everything. Had this been a gradual thing it would have been easier for me to understand,
There were a few episodes I enjoyed, though that was mostly due to the guest stars.
I have abandoned this show now. I gave it a fair go, but now I can truly say it’s not for me. I may watch some other episodes later, but I don’t think I’ll settle down with an entire season again.
Most of the reviews I’ve read on LJ before watching this have been pretty negative.
I kind of liked it though, maybe because I didn’t have high expectations at all.
Yes, it seemed to lack a few elements, and even an extra chapter to make it a full story, but I was entertained. Should a sequel pop up I’d probably watch that too.
It never pretended to be within any realm of logic, which is probably why it was easier for me to accept the story.
Deadwood, ses 1.
I initially started watching this show because I knew Brad Dourif and Jim Beaver were in it, but I was pleased to see several other familiar faces as well. When the series first started they were pretty much the only two characters I didn’t hate, but as the show progressed more and more characters managed to move over the line, some I love some I just like, but there are a few I still hate. However I don’t think so many characters in a show have managed to change my mind before.
It’s a very good show, and for anybody who likes the gritty westerns it’s definitely worth a look. My only complaint is that the show moves a bit slow, and that sometimes it’s hard to follow what’s going on, though that can be blamed on some of the people’s muffled speaking.
All in all it’s a very solid and well-made show that’s worth a look.
I had expected to hate it, but found it kind of enjoyable.
The story and its development is very predictable though.
It’s nothing extraordinary, it’s the kind of comedy where you leave your brain at the door and just try not to think about it too much.
It had an ok premise, and it's worth watching just because of all the cameos, but it falls apart pretty quickly.
It’s very predictable, and the dialogue is cheesy as hell. Easily ranks among the lowest in the Vampire-movie-genre. How the hell they managed to get Christopher Plummer to play a part in this film is beyond me.
Oh, it's so cheesy.
The only reason I managed to watch the entire thing was because I was to friggin tired to give a crap and Hayden Panettiere was kind of funny playing the blonde-cheerleader stereotype.
They really should have quit after the first film.
Jake 2.0.
I have to admit I started watching this show for Christopher Gorham, and that’s probably the only reason I managed to continue watching the show.
The first four episodes were rather dull and simplistic, and would probably have worked better for a show made in the early 90s than now.
It did however pick up a little after that. It seemed the writers noticed they had something to work with, with regards to Christopher Gorham and Keegan Connor Tracy, the other actors sadly came a cross as just showing up to earn a pay check while these two tried to make something out of their characters.
The stories were always rather simplistic and rarely held any high level of quality or excitement, but Christopher Gorham and Keegan Connor Tracy kept me watching till I had finished the series.
It was cancelled after 16 episodes, and this is one of the rare cases where I can understand why it was axed.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
Wow, was that ever a waste of time. I thought the second one was boring and full of plot holes; this one didn’t do much to save the previous movie or improve upon it.
I found it very predictable and dull, and there were so many things that just didn’t make sense.
There had been so much fuzz made before this film about Yun-Fat Chow and Keith Richards being in this movie, and their screen time can barely fit into the category of cameo, very disappointing indeed.
And when the hell did Elizabeth Swann become the main character? Seriously.
I was never a huge fan of the franchise to begin with. I though the first one was enjoyable. In my honest opinion one film would have been enough, if they couldn’t make good sequels they shouldn’t have bothered. In my mind the following two don’t exist as the totally undermine the first film.
It had its moments, but is sadly too weak to be memorable.
Good for anyone facing major exams to help with motivations and nerves I guess, but it’s not a super film by any means.
It’s another one of those films were you leave your brain at the door and try not to think too much about it.
I don’t think I’ve ever uttered the phrase ‘that’s so wrong’ so many times during a movie before.
It was a fun ride, not one of my fave Kevin Smith films, but it was fun. It’s been to long since I’ve seen the first one to give any good comparison.
It was funny, it was disturbing and in some aspects sadly; predictable.
The characters and their interactions are what makes this film a win, the crazy things these people manage to do is just to funny.
It’ll end up in my DVD collection at some point.
