To Love and Die (2008)
The pilot episode - funny and odd!
To Love And Die is apparently a series made in 2007 but delayed. The short movie length pilot was actually quite good. Funny, insightful and odd and with great characters and interaction. It is about a young woman who never knew her dad and doesn't seem to fit in normal society. When she finds her dad, it turns out he runs a hit agency that only kills bad guys - which she joins. Like I said, odd. I have no idea where they can take the stories from there.
I don't know if USA plans to show the whole 12 episodes, but if they do, I will watch them. If not, I intend to keep the pilot with my movies to watch again. 01/02/2008 SciFiOne
Mission: Impossible III (2006)
Modern action film, no significant content.
I didn't care for the movie because there is not enough to see, believe it or not. It is about 90% close camera work of "talking" heads. "Talking heads includes all scenes where there is nothing but a head or two on the screen. The movie is basically just action and suspense with a dash of melodrama thrown in. Much of it filmed close with hand held. I get bored with those and tend to fast-play through them. There is little sophisticated intellectual content or scenery in the movie. All told, there is little to think about and not much to see except the heads and blurry action. I've seen all that before and don't find it interesting anymore. But the film does move along quickly. It has some cool stunts and the scam planning was good. If you like modern action films, you will probably like this one. 01/03/2008 SciFiOne
