Once Upon a Time (2011)
Great idea turned into a bad writing fest
This show just recently got my attention,somebody told me it is a great show and that i needed to see it as fast as i possible could. So i did just that and i started to watch it and i did like it for the first couple of episodes,but then about the fourth episode i had a nagging feeling coming over me that had to do with the storyline,i where missing something and that something is pretty important if you ask me.
I didn't see any progress in the main storyline,the idea is clearly mentioned that Emma is the only one that can stop the curse and that she is needed for the final battle if good wants to prevail over evil. But up to episode 7 there is no progress in here believe in the storybook theory of her son Henry and none of the residents are even remotely aware of anything about there past,but then there where the episode with the huntsman and he was remembering things about his past and i was really happy that i saw progress and thought OK keep this up and we may go somewhere with this show and its main story. But to my horror the killed the huntsman in the same episode and the show falls back in a different fairytale story every episode with a little twist to the modern world,but there is absolutely no connection to the real story that would be to end the curse.I am at episode 14 ATM and its still the same and i don't know how long i can keep my self watching this with out being annoyed by this lazy writing..
the cast is from good to pretty bad and the same goes for the CGI,but all of that would be forgiven if this show would go anywhere and so far its going nowhere quick.
Ancient Aliens (2009)
A Slap in The Face Of Human Ingenuity
This show is ridiculous,it has no scientific basis what so ever and they should not have aired it on the history channel but on the Syfy channel. Every mayor accomplishment that the human race ever has done is done by aliens because we aren't smart enough or didn't had the right tools yet and what so ever,so they only explanation would be that ET came and phoned home to order us some Pyramids or temples and weapons.
They even wanna make us believe that the legend of king Arthur and his famous sword Excalibur is given to him by a alien and in fact probably was the first Lightsaber on the planet. Most of there claims(like 95% of them) are easily proved the be false and sometimes just outright lies and every one with a library card and a internet connection can proof this there self's by just looking up work of people that actually done many years of studies on a lot of these bogus claims about ancient art or ancient engineering and religions. Don't be fooled by there so called experts that you hear on this show,because a radio host a sci-fi writer and some dude that writes a silly magazine are not the best sources to go on.
And remember none of it can be true because the Vulcans would not allow interference in developing species because that goes against the federations prime directive :)
Bait (2012)
Australian Shark night 3d and just as bad.
This movie is pretty decent in terms of looks,it has some nice effects in it and thats the only reason i will give this movie a 5 of 10 rating and maybe because of Phoebe Tonkin because she is a fine looking lady. But the rest of the movie is really bad,if you are like me and have some knowledge about sharks you better skip it.
if you have seen Shark Night 3d and you where laughing your ass off at the scene where they kept a Great White Shark locked up in a cage because you know that its impossible to keep one alive like that should better watch something else,because this movie makes the sharks go places and do things that would never ever be possible and it just made me laugh and not the good kinda laugh more like OMG are you kidding me kinda laugh.
If you are not bothered by these kinda things then you maybe think its a funny movie,but i just wanna forget i ever saw this movie.
The Walking Dead (2010)
The Boring Death
I started to watch this show because zombies are cool and i heard a lot of good things about it,it started out very promising and i thought i had a new show to watch with joy every week. But now where up to episode 12SE02 and i really have to push my self to keep following this show,the show is getting more boring every week and the pace of the story is now at a point that is about the same as a one legged zombie on a frozen lake,i still gave it a 6 because the show looks good the actors are very decent,but everything else is letting me down a lot.
If you are somebody that likes slow paced drama in a zombie setting then this is the show for you,but if you like a bit more pace in the story and a lots of zombie killing action then you will probably get as bored with it as i am about now.
Ice (2011)
If i could only turn off my brain
Well let me start of by saying that i like disaster movies and i can overlook some things that aren't realistic in those kinda movies,but this movie just asked to much of me. A ice age that starts from really hot sunny weather in england to -40 degrees in less then 48 hours.
OK i can look past that because i also did it with the movie Day after tomorrow,but the writers and director never ever heard of hypothermia and the effects that it has on a human body,because when people can walk around with jeans and a normal shirt and jacket and wearing no gloves for hours in temperatures of -40 degrees with only a case of really mild shivers just doesn't stick with me and my IQ and is just plain stupid,there is a scene where the climb a solid steel ladder in a elevator shaft with bare hands and it doesn't bother them at all. These are some of the stupid things that are happening during this flick but there are many many more highly illogical happenings that just made my mind spin.
I still give this a rating of 5 because the effects where pretty decent for a TV production,the actors did a OK job but try to shut off your brain,because mine started to hurt after a while.
