Almost Heroes (2011)
It Wasn't My Cup of Tea
I thought I would like this show and really hoped that I would but I just could not get into it at all. I did not like most of the cast or maybe the problem was how the characters were written or some combination of those two things. Either way however I just did not find them or the show at all funny. I thought it was very juvenile but at the same time not very much fun. As a lifelong collector of comic books who has always loved comics and the culture of collecting and hanging out in the local comics stores, I thought a show about a comic book store would have a lot of fun and funny moments but this show did not deliver on those for me.
The Listener (2009)
Stupid
This show is so stupid that I can't believe it was ever even made in the first place.
He worked as an ambulance driver and then after an accident he discovers that he has the ability to read people's minds? Really? How stupid is that.
The comedy in the show is really bad but that is brilliant compared to most of this show, the stupid plots concerning this mind reading health care worker who can tell what guilty people are thinking and use that to bring them to justice.
Avoid this show, it will make you stupider.
V for Vendetta (2005)
Wow
I had no idea what to expect when we went to the movies and ended up seeing this. We went in to see this because we were late and the movie we wanted to see was pretty full anyway, I don't even remember what the other movie was that we wanted to see but I'm glad we ended up having to see this because it was so awesome. Almost a perfect movie. I was surprised that this movie was almost empty but I guess it was playing in a lot of cinemas and had already been out for a bit, I was surprised I didn't know more about the movie or had heard about it from friends. I am glad for all that though because I went in not knowing what to expect and was blown away. All three stars were amazing. It was a great story and now I want to read it too.
The Godfather (1972)
Classic Gangster Film
Godfather is not just ...A... classic gangster film it is...THE... classic gangster film. Marlon Brando is an amazing actor when he's not a big fat lazy jerk reading his lines off of a piece of paper hanging on the wall (and yes he actually did crap like that from what I heard in class) and this is one of his best performances if not the best performance he ever did. Robert Duvall and James Caan are always the same in their performances but they are good in this, probably because they are so young and their shtick wasn't old yet. Pacino is really very good. His weak brother is also very good in his role. The ladies in Pacino's life are very good. I really loved this movie, the drama is great and also there are some really great violent gangster action scenes. The scene where Sonny is racing to town in his old car and gets stopped at the toll booth is an all time classic, don't want to give away details but it sticks with you. Awesome movie!
