Green Screen Show (2004)
Unique, but shaky
Being a huge fan of Whose Line is it Anyway (both the British and American versions), I kept counting down the days until Drew Carey's Green Screen show had its debut. When it finally was showed, I was a little disappointed with the comedy - there were many boring parts. However, the technical aspects were amazing! I absolutely loved the animation. It really looked good, especially the 3D graphics in "Zeppelin".
Something I didn't like was the way they laid out the commercial time. There would be one game, then a commercial, then a game, then a commercial and so on. The total time of the pilot episode turned out to be 20 minutes (as compared to other 30 minute shows which run around 23 minutes).
I was hoping that the second episode would show some other games that worked, but it only showed the same games, some working and some not working.
The third episode will air next Thursday, and I am going to try my best to enjoy it fully. I think that after the first season, if the show gets picked up again, they are going to have to work out the kinks. Hey - even "Whose Line" had it's bad points, and I am hoping that the Green Screen Show will fix its problems and get better.
As of now, the show is okay, but it has the potential to be so much better.

Pop Rocks (2004)
Very entertaining.
It may not be perfect, it may not be very realistic, but it entertained me for 2 hours and made me laugh a lot. Gary Cole shines as the "normal" dad who's secretly a rock star.
I especially enjoyed the message the movie gives - follow what you believe in. I think this movie is a good view for most high school students - it shows how drugs have their bad effects and the problems of rebellious teenagers.
Listen for the weird "Mission: Impossible" music...funky stuff!
A recommended movie, 8/10.

Le Cinquième Élément (1997)
Great Fun!
The Fifth Element is an all around fun movie. It has lots of action to keep you glued to your seat and enough comedy to make you laugh out loud when comic relief is needed.
Go see it if you like explosions, guns, bombs, comedy, cross dressers, and futuristic stuff.
9/10
Donnie Darko (2001)
What a movie!
Donnie Darko is a fun Sci-Fi movie about a emotionally disturbed kid (Jake Gyllenhaal)who sees a 6-foot tall Rabbit. In his own unique way, rookie film writer/director Richard Kelly has included a dark story line, comedy, philosophy, science fiction, special effects, and a great ending that ties the whole picture together. From the second I began to watch this movie, I was hooked. I rate it a 9/10.
