A great action film. Probably not for everyone, but if you appreciate the melding of genres, you’ll probably like this one. The traditional formulas of both western and science fiction movies were tweaked and it worked without feeling forced or trite.

Haven’t been listening to Difranco much in the last few years. I was drawn to the album cover (as I’m a fan of peafowl) more than the artist. Will listen a few more times to get a better feel.

Entertaining and unique film. First time I have ever questioned my state of sobriety while watching a movie. I imagine this ride would have been even more entertaining had I paired it with a glass of wine.

While much of the film will undoubtedly be memorable, the ending was the most haunting—somehow both creepy and beautiful.

Cheesy and tries way too hard to be cute, but a good message. And a few good tidbits of wisdom for teenagers.

In every interview about the show the cast, crew, and writers keep saying nothing like this has ever been done on TV, but I’m not sure that’s completely true. Horror may not be the mainstream genre, but this one has elements of shows from Californication to Lost and a lot of recent shows have embraced a darker side (e.g., Breaking Bad, Dexter, etc.,).

But quibbles aside, I loved this show. It’s been a long time since a show really grabbed me the way this one did, and I can’t wait to see where they will take season 2.

I can appreciate this film on a certain level. It both seemed prophetic (i.e., sensational television reporting, reality television, etc.,) and dated. Although some of the furniture is actually starting to look modern (like out of an IKEA catalog) again.

The film is a parody but the serious issue it tackles is about happiness, and that aspect of the film I did find interesting. How can we measure happiness? Can it be studied without ruining it? What restraints can be put on it before it starts to disappear?

But it is still quite a slow film and the ending…come on, I know it’s a satire, but really?

Maybe a little monotonous at times and most of the characters aren’t very well developed, but if you are looking for something in the direction of mindless, a little different, and finds a way to keep it interesting, this is a good one.

Another guy reality show my husband had to see. Of all his past man soap opera choices I found this one the most interesting. These guys were a complete train wreck and had no idea. There were lessons to be learned here, too, but the “miners” didn’t learn any of them.

I was glad they all survived by the end. The last episode is definitely the most entertaining of all.

The movie had a great premise and some clever elements, but the non-existent plot line, absence of tension, and boring dialogue just made this movie drag on and on. Would love to see a better version of this idea some day.

Lonely Ghosts is probably the strongest track. Nice, mellow album but the only CD this band has released.
