A Great Comedy/Drama Series.

Posted : 2 months, 4 weeks ago on 9 July 2008 10:57 (A review of Rescue Me)

"Rescue Me" is a very well made, great television show. It took awhile for me to get used to, but after a full episode I was hooked. It is about a guy named Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary), and his very eventful life, friends, and family. I think he is great for the main role. This is one of the most entertaining shows on television. The drama is great, and the comedy is perfectly timed and hilarious. If you haven't seen this television show, then I suggest you do.

Way Overrated.

Posted : 2 months, 4 weeks ago on 9 July 2008 10:44 (A review of The Simpsons)

While "The Simpsons" has become arguably the greatest animated television show ever made, I am disagreeing majorly. Why? maybe because whenever I watch it, I am not finding myself laughing, or even enjoying it the least bit. I guess I just don't see the humor in it. I don't know why, but I just don't find "The Simpsons" appealing. I prefer a much different genre of a television show. It is way overrated in my opinion.

Plot Holes, And Quite Cheesy, But Entertaining.

Posted : 2 months, 4 weeks ago on 9 July 2008 10:36 (A review of Mindhunters)

"Mindhunters" tells the story of several FBI Agents that go on a training mission on a deserted island to see if they have what it takes. At first, the mission is normal. With practice objectives, and obstacles. There is only one thing. Are these small objectives and occurences actually just training? the answer is no, they are not. This film is filled with so many twists and turns it boggled my mind. First I thought these weird happenings were part of the training process, then I thought differently. I just kept changing my mind, and the film was really making me think. At first it was confusing, but when I got further through the film it got highly entertaining to watch, and I was really enjoying it. After all of that, the group members begin getting killed one by one in vastly different ways. The group realizes the killer is one of their own and things start going crazy and very thrilling. The film is great up to the final fifteen minutes or so where there was just one twist too many, and I just wanted the film to get to the main point. The film had some corny scenes, and the fight choreography was horrible. Good thing there was only one fight. Other than that I highly enjoyed this film and recommend it very much.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!

Posted : 3 months ago on 8 July 2008 05:43 (A review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Console)

Please don't listen to any PS3 fanboys or fangirls about the X-Box 360 because it is quite obvious that it reigns over the PS3. The graphics are perfect, especially in high definition. The gameplay is great on single player and online play, and that is a huge plus. The X-Box 360 has the greatest online play ever made. The PS3 on the other hand, has very poor online play. Those are only a few of the comparisons. If you are looking to buy a video game console, then the X-Box 360 is the one to buy.

You don't mess with the Zohan. Are do you?

Posted : 3 months ago on 8 July 2008 05:23 (A review of You Don't Mess with the Zohan)

Adam Sandler most recent film is about a counter terrorist agent who moves to America to become a hairstylist. Meanwhile, there are several people after him trying to kill him.

The story was sub-par with some great in depth moments. It w There were several flaws however. The story was a bit rushed and had some pretty dull moments and plot holes. Other than that, it was good.

Adam Sandler has always been known for acting as bizarre yet hilarious characters in is films throughout his career. He has been successful in most of them and most are real crowd pleasers. He has really made his mark in the film industry. If you are looking for one of those films. In other words one of his classic comedy films, then I am sorry to say, you will not find it in Zohan. This film is more of a spoof film than any others. Sandler has his hilarious moments and he does do quite well. Although after watching this film you will not feel that classic Sandler spark. It is more of a film for pure entertainment, not winning an oscar type.

Well now the final verdict. Is Zohan really a film worth spending 1 hour and 45 minutes on? or is it pure garbage?. Well, I say it is highly entertaining with some great and hilarious action scenes. Very good story. Pretty good acting. And one more thing. I was never bored while watching it. Those are the positives. Now, here are the negatives. Throughout the film you will most likely not be laughing at certain scenes. The reason I say that, is because there are so many horribly laid out jokes that just fail on every level. And they have bad timing as well. Some of them are also just too old to use these days. There is only one more negative aspect. The film is rather corny. Some of the lines could be drastically improved and the acting can at a lot of times be cheesy. I think Zohan is worth the watch.

The Best Film Resource.

Posted : 3 months ago on 8 July 2008 04:57 (A review of Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide 2008 (Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide))

This movie guide created by Leonard Maltin, is quite impressive. It contains tens of thousands of titles, and hundred's of actor's, actresses, and director listings. It is the most in depth and complete film resource out there. Not including the internet of course. Whenever I want to know information about a film, I look in this book. It is an excellent book.

Funny, But Could Be Much Better.

Posted : 3 months ago on 7 July 2008 09:55 (A review of The Bill Engvall Show)

This show is funny at some moments and not at others. I think Bill Engvall is funny and all, but he just isn't funny enough for me. the other actors in the show are even less funny too, but for some reason, I really enjoy watching it. It is your normal sitcom with the normal and sometimes dull dialogue. I am not saying this show is bad, I am just saying it needs improvement for me to consider watching it in the future.

Very Addicting.

Posted : 3 months ago on 7 July 2008 09:47 (A review of Dexter)

Dexter is a highly addictive show. It is one of my favorite television shows, and it is one of the most fun shows to watch. The show is based on a serial killer named "Dexter". That is, He is a serial killer when he's not comforting his girlfriend and her kids. So basically, he is a serial killer on his days off. This television show is so well made. I cannot think of a more provocative show on television. There is a really cool aspect about this show. Dexter commentates his life. It is really interesting to hear him commentate the episodes and see his point of view on certain things in his everyday life, for example why he became a serial killer, how he kills certain victims, and normal everyday events. This show is filmed much differently than any other show, and it has a much more unique and developed plot to go with it. "Dexter" is a gem.

The Greatest Action Show On Television.

Posted : 3 months ago on 7 July 2008 09:19 (A review of 24)

"24" is the best action show on television. I don't care what anyone says, Jack Bauer is a bad-ass in every way. From his intelligence, to his fighting talent. He is the ultimate action star. Anyway, now about the show itself. It is about a CTU Agent named Jack Bauer. He goes on missions to protect his country and sometimes gather intelligence while in process. He is accompanied by his CTU Team back at the headquarters giving expert analysis and so forth. The plot is perfect. It is highly entertaining and action packed with no flaws, along with the story, which is also amazing. I am always wondering what is next because it is so addicting to watch. As far as the acting and cast goes. It is superb. With Kiefer Sutherland and others. Watch for another season at around close to January 2009 I believe. You will not want to miss this amazing series. Also make sure to catch the great re-runs on local cable television.

One Of The Greatest.

Posted : 3 months ago on 7 July 2008 05:04 (A review of Two and a Half Men)

What can I say. "Two And A Half Men" is one of the best shows on the air. From Charlie Sheen's sarcastic attitude, to Jon Cryer's hilarious outbursts and jokes. Hey, even the kid is funny. This show has really made its mark on television, and it's popularity is expanding as we speak. I cannot think of anything wrong with this show. You can basically say this is as good or better than most shows out there. Every time I watch it, I crack up, and want to watch another episode. "Two And A Half Men" is becoming a classic.
