World's Worst Tenants (2012)
Fictionality TV
this is bad...real bad and boy oh boy does it work for me and i don't like bad TV as much as i love bad movies...todd howard recreates alleged true stories as a bald bad arse former marine that is a bit like stone cold steve austin...outrageous bits include evicting a guy that answers the door with a bloody butcher knife...and i don't mean bloody in the UK sense of the word...i mean dripping blood and the guy speaks no English...there is an eviction of an indoor pot farm, an indoor pot of cooking moonshine distillery with a house full of rednecks and kids...a homemade operating room with a patient on the table...making homemade honey with a bee hive in a bedroom...it gets wilder than that...a horse in a lady's bedroom that can't fit out of the house so they gotta pull a wall down...on the channel surf it looked real for a few minutes mainly due to solid acting given the material...i was hooked and watched 'em all today and laughed my freakin' arse off!!!...my dvr is set for future episodes
shaka sez check out WORLD'S WORST TENANTS and don't be one...it wouldn't hurt to numb some brain cells with your favorite adult beverage before the show painfully kills them
Fringe: Subject 13 (2011)
Yikes
No helpful info intended but rather just an opinion. Two bland soapy episodes in a row of a great series. I hope it doesn't continue or I may end up with more time on my hand for my kaiju flicks. I do not have the same patience that I do with flicks. Still a great series and I ain't giving up yet. TORCHWOOD was great for a season and a half until it fell completely off the shakanui map.
When we first started watching this series in season one we feared the writers taking it in the same direction as all the other shows seem to take it keying on a love relationship between the leads. Unfortunately this seems to be meat of the main story line. I have the new episode on the dvr and am hoping for much better as this has been a fantastic series with few blemishes like these last two snoring episodes.
Darkness at High Noon: The Carl Foreman Documents (2002)
excellent film in need of a wider release
There have been many films made about the HUAC and the blacklisting time in hollywood, but this stands head and heels above the rest. Simply put, it is Carl Foreman's own words read in his letters that express a wide range of emotion in a black time in American history. So much talent and lives shattered from patriotic paranoia. It's packed with interviews, film clips, anecdotes and media. And of course we see the parallels of the film HIGH NOON and what was going on at the time. A must see for fans of film.
Always Something Better (1997)
not a total waste of time
This was not a total waste of time to watch. The lead actress, Nicole Freeman along with the other principal characters played off of one another well but the movie lacked in the small characters. I just finished viewing this film on the internet which is a good thing because i would not want to pay money to see this. The film did touch on steroid use in an intelligent way.
Irma la Douce (1963)
Honesty is the best comedy.
What happens when a honest cop is intertwined with the peaceful going ons amongst the ladies of the night and pimps? Deceitful mayhem of course. Jack Lemmon as the naive cop falling in love with the title character, Shirley MacLaine hooks you and keeps you going for the duration. And be sure to count how many professions the barkeeper carries. Pure hilarity.
