Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
srthelegend Over the years I've always had a fascination of just who Jack The Ripper was? So when I heard about this new documentary I tried to keep an open mind going into it. I will always listen to theories on who it could be. I had done a little research and had heard that many people had said that Jeff Mudgett who has the leading role in this documentary series and is H.H. Holmes great, great grandson, or something like that, was a bit 'nutty' ... All this show really does is confirms that. His theory that H.H. Holmes is Jack The Ripper... NO, HE'S NOT. 100% he's not. Don't waste your time with this. It's full of close but not close enough theories. A lot of it is based on if Holmes faked his own death and the Ripper style murders that happened afterwards.. Well, it turns out he didn't fake his own death and the Ripper style murders still happened. They go on about periods where he stopped killing. And the murders started in London. There could be many other explanations for this.Like I said, there are too many... so it's Holmes, it's Holmes, it's Holmes... Only to discover it's not. All the conclusive - we can't say it's not him... yeah, but you can't say it is him. Like I said. Don't waste your time on this. If I could give a good bit of advice - Go and read some books on Jack The Ripper and come to your own conclusions... Just be prepared for your main suspect to change the more you read into this... I know I have over the years
Corvette OK the main flaw that I feel throws this conspiracy theory out the window is this: We have an American in Chicago, living in a town that was familiar to him with a simple "grid" system infrastructure which would have been easy for him to navigate. However,he jumps on a ship and travels to London to commit several murders that he does under the cover of darkness in an unfamiliar city that is basically a "labyrinth" of confusing streets and gets away every time? I think not! Jack the Ripper was a local to the area and that is how he managed to elude capture - I know its not as exciting but do we want reality or entertainment.
ghamilton-33621 From the first episode to the last, this program tries to convince the viewer, that H.H.Homes (H.W.Mudget)is somehow Jack The Ripper. And fails miserably at every attempt.Even the unearthing of the grave is done with so much drama & pausing in between shovels full of earth as possible, it's painful to watch. The fact they exhumed a grave to make a very weak TV Drama, i find very shocking.This hole thing is centered around the co-hosts, and what absurd ideas they could come up with next. It was played out as one host being neutral to the idea, of a link to Jack The Ripper. While Homes's Great, Great Grandson being desperate to prove the connection being real.Both failed on both accounts, and this series was just entertainment trash. No doubt there will be a second series, and no doubt it will be the same fantasy conclusions reached ... Whith no Proof, what so ever.
bewithani It's a bad and Bollywood type documentary.A lot of splicing, awful eye contacts and the CIA's so called 'former operative' Fox was talking too much. In a simple conversation, 1 sentence was from an expert and 10 sentences were coming from Fox. Disgusting attitude. Every time, the worthlessness tryouts of linking Ripper and Holmes seemed pretty blunt.Each time, an irrelevant object was too much for that Fox. That's interesting' was hear 80-100 times at least throughout the show. Dullness at the best. The way she was acting, had to make me me forget all the joy that I intended to have before watching the show. History channel is a turd these days. The background music had no points. Showing same clips again and again and again. Ew...
