Little Spirit: Christmas in New York (2008)
Disappointing
I expect three things from a child's Christmas movie: good storyline, good message, and most importantly GREAT visuals. The storyline of Spirit:Christmas in New York was good and the actors voiced it sufficiently. The idea of embodying Christmas spirit in a little character was right on. The message was not crystal clear but even a younger child would, at least, understand the importance of finding a lost, cherished pet even if the spirit of Christmas was not understood. The visuals were awful. At times, I would describe some of the characters as revolting including a central character, the dog. It was almost unwatchable. Some of the characters were ethnic and revolting which would have lead to me questioning racism, but since it was revolting across the board I think it was just baaaad artwork. The artwork was so bad it was seriously distracting. This is another example of excellent conception but poor execution.
True Blood (2008)
Dreadful Series - Don't Waste Your Time
I am soooo disappointed! I cannot state strongly enough how agonizingly awful I think this series to be. I am not a Buffy viewer which seems to be the ruler by which others are measuring reviews, so I am presuming my opinion is considered unbiased. I did love the Twilight book series, but True Blood pales in comparison. Regardless, I believe the acting in true blood to be flat, the characters to be one-dimensional, and writing to be disinteresting. Although I generally like Anna Paquin, I honestly don't care what happens to Sookie. I am not a Steven Moyer fan and thought he was the only low point in the Starter Wife mini series. He continues to disappoint in this flat performance. The other's are given such a poor script that the dialog is often laughable. I typically love series (especially spooky series!)but this isn't suspenseful it is dreadful!
