Firefly
Firefly (2002–2003)
10/10
One of the best Science fiction series ever made !
16 March 2011
Firefly is one of my all time favorite Sci-fi Series and as usual the plug was pulled on the series before a proper fan base was established... shame on you !! I have no idea who makes these decisions but excellently written shows such as Firefly , Raines and the Dresden Files (look them up ... you'll love them) were all cancelled before their time..and those "decision makers" should be banned from watching any films for life !

The characters in this series are endearing and believable..I am proud to add my voice to the others who would be thrilled for the opportunity to see Serenity flying the heavens again whether in a feature film.. or preferably a continuation of the series !

The Cape
The Cape (2011)
10/10
A real fun ride !
10 January 2011
Warning: Spoilers
I read with astonishment some of the criticisms of this new series ! Some are so highbrow as not to be believed...

It seems that some "connoisseurs" feel free to measure everything new up against whatever they feel to be their most incredible movie viewing experience...given this, most other movies will fall short.

It seems senseless to criticize a hamburger for not being a prime filet mignon .. a hamburger is a hamburger... the only question should be.. "Is this a good hamburger".

The acting seems tight considering it is meant to be comic book based. The characters are fun to watch.. Other than the whole situation being unbelievable (this is where we have to suspend belief) it is a fun ride.... and YES this is a wonderful hamburger !

There could have been more time spent on developing the characters but perhaps this will be dealt with in upcoming episodes.

I am hesitant to admit that I have very much enjoyed this show so far...after all , I also very much enjoyed Firefly(13 episodes),Raines (7 episodes) and several others that were axed by the networks before they had a chance to gather a fan base.

If we as viewers cannot rally behind new (and possibly quirky) programming then we have ourselves to blame when we are fed nothing but "reality shows" and the sixth season of "My dog dances better than your dog"

I sincerely hope that "The Cape" is given time to attract fans.

I am already one of them.

I really enjoyed this movie
29 May 2009
I think people are often in too much of a hurry to condemn a film for their own reasons. I found this movie entertaining and well made. It is not one of the best of all time but for me , a wonderfully escapist treat. I am surprised at how harshly some people have judged it and wonder if they actually watched it completely at all. I am saddened by the negative comments on films sometimes , especially if the average viewer reads and follows the advice of the writer. In this case the creatures are believable, the suppositions plausible and the acting ... better than average. Grab a friend, some popcorn and this movie and I'm sure that you won't be disappointed.

Best t.v. series in a long while and a Goram fine film !

It never fails to surprise me how little studio execs. learn from experience. Star trek suffered the same sort of fate.. Firefly being canceled after so few episodes was yet another blisteringly short sited move.

This was an excellent series and an outstanding film well written by thorough professionals and populated by a small collection of both memorable and endearing characters. This cannot be said of a great many films. I firmly believe that the series should be resurrected and that if the studios are as they would have us believe they are , the film could be made into a franchise which could rival star wars.... but that's only my opinion.
