My Name Is Earl (2005)
Great cast, great idea and at the end of the show you feel good about yourself!
"My Name is Earl" is one of the few good shows out there! Sure it is not as action-packed as Lost or Prison Break, another of my favorites, but it has its own quiet charm. The whole idea of the show and Earl's mission in life gives it a nice atmosphere and the acting is superbly done all the way 'round. I especially enjoy the Joy character, her southern manners really crack me up, and having an actress that both play good and look awesome, in my humble opinion, really is a rare sight.
The show is set in the mid-west or at least somewhere in the country-side. The main character Earl used to be a bad boy, but has changed his mind. Now he is all about doing good things getting a lot of help from his nit-wit brother. Apart from these two their cleaning-lady from the motel where they live (!), the ex-wife, the ex-wife's new husband and bartender at the local bar, all help out in their own peculiar ways.
Sentences like: "Hi Crab-Man, -Hi Earl" start to grow on you after just a few episodes and if you don't like the pilot - then the show is not for you!
Catwoman (2004)
commenting while watching ... drab
In light of my readings of other peoples' comments on Catwoman, I thought that I was prepared for the worst. Though a few people did note that the movie wasn't actually that bad. I can only assume that these are the cousins and uncles of Halle Berry, the producer and the rest of the crew's ilk, trying to pull a vicious joke on my behalf! The reason for the movie's score being so horrendous is VERY justified! To put it mildly.
Halle Berry is supposed to be a frightened little girl without style, and in becoming Catwoman, she suddenly gets "balls" and style. Overnight! Wow! I loved what Tim Burton did in Batman with the Joker and his evil regime, this worked perfectly because the world surrounding the evil empire that the Joker built, matched. But HOW THE HELL DID anybody get the idea that An Evil Empire of Cosmetics, producing addictive and acid-like creams and potions, would ever seem remotely credible.
Basically, just see the beginning and when she "dies" the mish-mash animated cats bringing Halle Berry back to life, sets the setting for the rest of the movie. And the amazing thing is that it is running on my TV right now, and I some horrified that I needed to post this for you. Now I will turn it off and NOT SEE the remaining 45 minutes, because I have some trash to take down, clothes to wash and other daily chores that suddenly have become violently important.
Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004)
actors, a set, but where is the story line?
Can't say that I had any expectations for this movie. Saw the "action, adventure, horror" label and thought "hey, that might be nice to rent for Sunday e.g. hung-over action movies are always okay... guess not.
No story what so ever. Two girls lost in the wood(sure the introductory texts were nice, not) and they happen to stumble upon a fort in the middle of Quebec. Fat chance. They enter and one gets bidden, everybody starts dying and then something about a guy's son being the reason. bla bla bla. Dog Soldiers re-done.
oh, and there is one surprise. Evil wins -WOW! (play of words, they are twins).
