Awake (2012)
Awake and kicking
Awake:
Wow what a compelling TV drama. How Mike "Jason Isaacs " uses both his lives to help each other. I must say I didn't see my self watching this season in 3 days. The twits a turns our players go thru were grate writing. Watching our players live and die from one time line to the next was riveting.
The season started great 1/2 way thru I wanted to stop watching, then our writers would begin a build that kept me thru to the end.
So many unanswered questions. Will they take Emma "Daniela Bobadilla" as their daughter or will she go home? Will Emma have the baby and then Mike and Hanna have a grandchild of their son? Will Detective Efrem Vega "Wilmer Valderrama" get Mike out of Jail?
We see in the season finally that Mike is reunited with his family. Was this all a dream? Can Mike use what he has learned to help him now? Or is this a third time line. Should he put a Blue rubber band on his wrist?
This and many more questions will never be answered as this T.V. series has lived out it's usefulness.
A must watch!
Being Erica: Dr. Erica (2011)
future reviews
Erin Karpluk as Erica Strange did an amazing job. I was sure season 4 would take me to the point where I wished there was only 2 seasons. Season 3 was not that good, It had some very good and some very poor episodes. What kept me going was the last of the season.
Season 4 was, what can I say WOW. So much better that even season 1. I said at the end of season 3 that 4 would have to be stellar and it was!
Over the past 4 years I fell in love with Erin "Erica" The cast for all 4 seasons was superb. The lessons they learned also taught me a lot. CBC Canada did a great job on this series. They left me wanting more. Where will she go? What will she do? Will she help Doctor Tom's Daughter?
I know there is an "IMDB" Hyper link to more but I can not find it to watch.
Being Erica: Fa La Erica (2010)
Drama
Season 3 is absolutely filled with drama. Of the past 3 seasons this is not the best. I guess what they say is true about most TV series. They only go down hill after the first. Killing this series after season 3 is a 50/50 Idea. I would have looked at the series very close. Season 3 Erica is not as prime a player as in season 1 and 2 And this is the only reason I would allow a forth season.
Tho filled with pit falls season 3 brings us joy and intrigue. Season 3 started off good, by episode 4 you were almost thru with it just when I had to force myself to watch another episode it picked up.
Season 3 ended great and left me wanting just a little more. Season 4 will have to be stellar to keep me.
Being Erica: The Importance of Being Erica (2009)
Another Heart Break
I Started this series with great hope that I would find the next Quantum Leap. It is better by far in so many ways. in Quantum leap Sam made changes in the time line, made things better for some. Erica can't change the past she can only learn from it. She makes changes but never really profits from it.
Ethan needed to go a few episodes ago. KY is gone home. Erica is lost and found. Dr. Tom has done an amazing job with Erica. Her path will need to lead her down a great path for her to grow any more.
It's been 2 great seasons. Season 1 was the best. Season 2 was great but it was also filled with so many flaws, both good and bad.
Season 3 will need to be better. Erica will need more input in the show and not be just a player. We need to step outside of the box.
Being Erica: Leo (2009)
Heart wrenching
I looked up videos on IMDb for time travel as I have just finished with a TV Series and found Being Erica. I don't watch TV. per say, well series, as I get caught up in them and hate waiting for the next episode to air. Usually I wait till there is at least 3 years, or the series is gone. I will read about the series here and other places, weigh the pros and cons. Before I even see 1 episode I will have a full working idea what to expect.
Till you see with your own eyes you can't really form an opinion.
I now have 4 years of Being Erica to watch, and being in the USA we don't get it here.
Over the past week I've had the pleasure viewing one of the best series I have ever seen.
Erin Karpluk is great as Erica Strange. Michael Riley as Dr. Tom fits perfect.
Thou the story at times goes in very odd directions, and at some time you wish that episode was never filmed. You see it for what it has to offer the viewer. Both the good and bad come out in this TV. Series.
When Erica sees her brother after he has been dead for years, you can almost put your self in her shoes and feel the joy and pain. Knowing what is right and wrong has no effect on Erica, nor would it have any effect on you or me. To save the life of someone you love, you would be amazed at what you will do.
Saving Leo was bad, and now she must loose him again and again.
The Art of Getting By (2011)
Art of Getting By
The Art of Getting By. Being somewhat of an expert at this just getting by in life thing. I loved it. This is for the younger crowd and being an old man. I still got the drift of the plot. A good watch not to be missed. Are players in this film grow up, well there last year of school, they find what's important to them and go with it. Some facts in life are hard to face, and our fears sometimes overwhelm us in doing the things we want to the most.
Tho are parents at time will dive us to do thing we don't like, Doing right by yourself is what's best and shown here.
Not only do are two love struck kids grow up but so do their parents.
Very moving, I didn't shed a tear. It did bring to light what we take for granted.
8.5/10

Just not worth your time
Let's see I don't get the bible or the demonic at all. The film was well done, it has form and function. The actors worked hard for the film. It has no real fiber to it at all. Your on a roller coaster ride with no ending in sight. The camera will have abrupt changes from scene to scene. Just when you get a handhold on one your taken to the next. Following this film is very hard to say the least. Your in the dark from the beginning and your left in pitch black at the end. The time I have spent on this review is as much time it will take you to see the worth of this film. Such a shame, great actors great idea, the script could use some work, The director had a great idea but couldn't put it to film. 5/10 worth a watch, but see it 2 or 3 times to get it. Not worth your time or effort.
The Tortured (2010)
The Tortured
Torturing a criminal that has devastated your life seams like a great idea.
Breaking him/her out of prison may on the other hand may not be a good idea.
Just make sure the tortured really deserves to be tortured.
I felt it went by a little to fast. We as viewers need a little bit more for are money.
The gore was great as expected.
It would have been nice to see the couples reaction when they learn the truth.
