I watched this with my sister a lot growing up. Use to love it and always tried to find a decent copy of it. Recently found it is available for free on YouTube so that helps .

Skins
(2011)
Extremely lacking.
22 January 2011
I am a fan of the original. I have watched every season but the first two still are the best, now the US has gone and trashed it.
People who say you need to forget the UK version and just watch the US/Canadian version, need to realize that this is the UK version word for word; scene for scene; character for character. It's impossible to not compare them.
The acting is almost a none issue, as it is so bad you start to ignore it. Tony is horribly cast and even more horribly acted. Effy, well, I know she didn't have any lines, she still looked wrong to me.
The joys of watching Skins when I first discovered the UK version were great, the joys of watching the US remake, weren't there. I knew this was gonna be a failure but to copy the original word for word and still ruin it, someone needs fired.
If this shows makes a full season I will be surprised, but it won't make it on any good reviews.

Love Is the Drug
(2006)
Typical rich kid movie
29 August 2010
Cover of the DVD case says "Fast times at Richmond High meet Kids" No not really.
It was just another movie about rich kids using someone to get something that backfires. The whole movie was transparent beyond words. If you couldn't figure out what was gonna happen within the first twenty minutes, then you weren't watching it.
The acting is pretty solid. Lizzy Caplan is great as she always is. John Patrick Amedori was great also, he did a fabulous job. Overall the acting was solid and parts of the story has tons of potential that it never tapped into.
