Very Entertaining Mostly.

Posted : 2 months, 3 weeks ago on 12 July 2008 11:41 (A review of Journey to the Center of the Earth)

Journey To The Center Of The Earth" is a very good film for the most part.

Brendan Fraser stars a a scientist named Trevor Anderson. He studies earth sciences at a university and in his spare time. His Brother Max Anderson mysteriously disappeared ten years earlier on a trip. Nobody knows why or where. Trevor desperately wants to know, so he sets out on a trip to the center of the earth with his nephew Sean. Prior to that they take a plane to a foreign country. They get lost and go to the nearest house. There, they meet a woman named Hannah. She is the daughter of the late Sigurbjorn Asgeirsson; a great scientist who was studying the same concept as Trevor. She ends up charging them 5,000 dollars an hour to lead the way the center of the earth. The three go on a tremendous journey with several obstacles.

You would think that plot would be all entertainment with no flaws or dull moments. Which is true, except for a couple of scenes that throw the film off quite a bit. Brendan Fraser does great, but could have been a little better. As for the the rest of the cast, They were great.

The story was very well made. It had almost nothing wrong with it. I was hooked from beginning to end, and there were several unforgettable aspects. It was very adventurous. I thought I was there at some points it was so in depth and fun to watch. The visuals were also stunning.

I think this is the perfect family film, with no thinking required, and just enjoyment. If you are looking for a great Oscar winning film, you will obviously not find it here, but if you want a fun to watch film, then this is the film to watch.

Amazing Quality.

Posted : 2 months, 4 weeks ago on 10 July 2008 11:10 (A review of Invincible [Blu-ray])

The first time I saw this film, it was on Blu-Ray Disc. I am actually very happy that I didn't watch it until it was released Blu-ray because if I had seen it in theaters first, I would not have known how good this film actually was. Watching it on blu-ray is literally amazing. Amazing quality, Amazing Sound, Amazing everything. Watching a film in high definition really helps out the experience. I would say it makes a film 50% better. That is a vast improvement. DVD is good, but you really need high definition to fully enjoy a film and "Invincible" is no exception. I recommend the Blu-Ray Player.

Extremely Entertaining And Mind Boggling.

Posted : 2 months, 4 weeks ago on 10 July 2008 11:01 (A review of The Real Hustle)

"The Real Hustle" is a fairly new show about a group of hustlers that go around various cities and states to hustle certain random strangers just to show you how easily it can happen in real life. It is one of the most entertaining shows to watch because the things you see these con artists doing is pure real.It really surprises me too, because most of the hustling they pull of is ridiculous and look's nearly impossible to complete. Yet, they make it look like a piece of cake. It kind of makes you think you can pull these things off, but I highly doubt it. They steal peoples wallets, hustle people's items, and many other crazy things. basically that is the main reason for watching this television show. Not to mention the fact that is hilarious to see the reactions on random strangers faces when they get hustled. Watch this show. You will not be disappointed. You will love this show.

One Funny Show.

Posted : 2 months, 4 weeks ago on 10 July 2008 10:49 (A review of South Park)

There is not really much to say about South Park because everyone already knows everything about it. It has become a classic to everyone that watches it. And frankly I think it is a great show. The geniuses: Trey Parker and Matt Stone put together a very funny television show. My favorite is probably Cartman, Stan, or Kyle. I highly enjoy every character though. The things that happen in this show, are hysterical, and fun to watch over and over again. What a great show.

UMM? No.

Posted : 2 months, 4 weeks ago on 10 July 2008 09:02 (A review of Futurama)

This show fails on so many levels. It is just filled with stupid jokes and very stupid concepts. I don't remember laughing at this show once ever. However, people say it is one of the greatest shows on television. It might me be because people settle for next to nothing in comedy on t.v these days. I don't know. That is just what I think. this show is just not for me. It just doesn't have the material that I look for in a television show. I am not saying it will not appeal to you, I am just not very fond of it.

Entertaining.

Posted : 2 months, 4 weeks ago on 10 July 2008 05:14 (A review of Fear Factor)

This is one of the most entertaining shows on television. I think that because the contestants pull of some pretty crazy stunts and a lot odd and funny challenges. Some of them are extremely intense. I think Joe Rogan is the perfect guy for the hosting job. If you haven't seen this show yet then I suggest you do. It is very fun to watch.

A Great Show.

Posted : 2 months, 4 weeks ago on 10 July 2008 05:10 (A review of Beauty and the Geek)

Beauty And The Geek is a great show with a lot of hilarious moments and a great concept. Several beautiful woman have one geek partner and go through several challenges with them as teams. I think this show really brings out the beauty in the geek. I highly enjoy this show and I think it is one of the best reality shows on the air.

One Of My Favorites.

Posted : 2 months, 4 weeks ago on 9 July 2008 11:28 (A review of Yes, Dear)

"Yes,Dear" is a genuinely great show with a great cast and excellent story. It revolves around a large family. Two in which being Middle aged brothers.The two sides of the family go through their everyday events trying to put up with each other, which is a very unique plot that is not often seen in shows nowadays. I laugh every time I see this show. The actors are put together perfectly, The lines are great, and never out of place, and I am never bored while watching it and That is a big plus. The story is very well done and cannot think of anything wrong with it. I would easily put this show to close to the top of my favorite shows list. I cannot think of any flaws in this series.

Entertaining.

Posted : 2 months, 4 weeks ago on 9 July 2008 11:16 (A review of Flavor of Love)

This show has it's hilarious moments and it's not so hilarious moments. It is about "New York". A woman looking for love with several guys in the mix. It is just your typical show where the main character has to find true love with a bunch of people to get to know and choose from. I think it is a very average show and can be very fun to watch. It does not compare to it's predecessors like "A Shot At Love" or "I Love Money", but it is worth watching.

Hilarious.

Posted : 2 months, 4 weeks ago on 9 July 2008 11:08 (A review of I Love Money)

This show is so fun to watch and hilarious at the same time. I just get a kick out of seeing the contestants say certain things to each other. They argue about certain ridiculous topics. the show is just extremely entertaining. The show contains contestants from other shows like "Flavor Of Love", and other shows. They are competing for $250,000 and go through several competitions to win the money. I just suggest watching this show due to it's comedy and because it is one of the most entertaining shows on television.
