"TAKERS" (2010) Review

Over ten years ago, a crime thriller about a group of bank robbers operating in Los Angeles was released to the theaters with little fanfare and a great deal of scorn. Although "TAKERS" earned over twice its budget, it barely made a dent with film goers. Out of curiosity, I decided to see what the lack of fuss was all about. ( Collapse )

"SUPER 8" (2011) Review

When I first saw the trailer for J.J. Abrams' 2011 movie, "SUPER 8", I had a very difficult time generating any interest in the film. I would have easily ignored it if it were not for the fact that two or three of my favorite actors were featured in the film and that it was produced by Steven Spielberg. ( Collapse )

"'FLASHFORWARD': A POTENTIAL NIPPED IN THE BUD"

Ever since ABC had cancelled one of its freshman series from the 2009-2010 television season, the science-fiction drama called "FLASHFORWARD", many television critics and fans have expressed the belief that the series had failed to garner enough viewers due to its less than stellar writing. Now . . . I have stated that although many have expressed this belief, but there were a good number of viewers who believe that the network should have given the series a chance to grow over the years. I happen to be one of those who agree with the latter. ( Collapse )

"CENTENNIAL" (1978-79) - Episode Ten "The Winds of Fortune" Commentary

This tenth episode of "CENTENNIAL" called "The Winds of Fortune" marked the last one set in the 19th century. The episode also featured the end of several story lines - the troubles with the Pettis gang, Axel Dumire's suspicions of the Wendell family, Hans Brumbaugh's labor problems and Jim Lloyd's romantic problems with Charlotte Seccombe and Clemma Zendt.

"CENTENNIAL" (1978-79) - Episode Eight "The Storm" Commentary

The eighth episode of "CENTENNIAL" is a bit of a conundrum for me. Of the eight episodes so far, it seemed to be the only one in which the time span struck me as rather confusing. Which is a pity, because I found it rather interesting. ( Collapse )
