Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Claudio Carvalho The young writer and prodigal son Mike Dolan (Eddie Cahil) returns home, after writing a successful book, where he used real events with his relatives and closest friends as if they were fictional characters. While traveling in a ferry, he is the unique person to see a man being pushed overboard. The office in charge of the investigation is Sheriff Rudy Dunlop (Jay R. Ferguson), a former friend and hurt with the comments of Mike's book. The coroner Ellie (Poppy Montgomery) finds fingerprints in the dead body indicating that Mike's observations were correct. After resolving this crime, a slaughterer clown kills and decapitates his victims. And finally, in a competition about the best seaman of the island, persons are being drowned on earth. Yesterday I saw this VHS, released by 'Warner do Brasil' with the compilation of three episodes of this unreleased series (in Brazil) and I liked. The unique known actress (for me) is Theresa Russell, but the young cast works very well, there are good sarcastic lines and the stories are very engaging. My complaint is against the disgusting procedure of 'Warner do Brasil', which released a VHS with a cover and a title ('Demon Town: The City of the Demon') inducing the viewers that 'Glory Days' would be a horror movie. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): 'Demon Town: A Cidade do Demônio' ('Demon Town: The City of the Demon')

virtualstranger The premise of "Glory Days," an actual suspense- thriller television show, was one that I'm sure filled many people with hope and interest. What they've seen, over the past three weeks, has probably crushed those hopes fairly effectively....In the first episode, we are given several creepy elements; a seemingly random murder, a mysterious letter, an entire town where we're told odd behavior is commonplace, with a population who strongly dislike the returning prodigal son (some of whom are his own family), and a disturbingly- designed board game, just to name a few. Any one of these elements, handled correctly, could carry a show for several episodes. "Glory Days" disposes of them all by the end of the very first episode, explaining away every element in precise detail, wrapping up every possible loose end.This pattern, alas, was repeated with the second and third episodes as well. Each individual story sewn up nice and tight, with nothing left to gnaw at our minds or make us wonder at work the next day. Each episode ends exactly as it began, with only superficial changes to the characters lives, and no change at all to the world they live in.Answering every question mere minutes after it's asked hardly builds suspense, and a mystery that's solved in less than an hour isn't much of a mystery. The most effective element of mystery and suspense, the part that gets people hooked, is not knowing, not having the answers. To paraphrase Neil Gaiman, people forget the stories, but they always remember the mysteries.There are no mysteries on Glory Island. Simply put, instead of stepping into the shoes of "Twin Peaks" or "The X-Files," or possibly bringing something new to the small- screen, "Glory Days" is merely a hip, teen- oriented version of "Matlock" or "Murder She Wrote"A shame, because the cast, and the audience, all deserve something better....

BHorrorWriter ...So far, two episodes have aired. And so far, I can't say I hate it...yet! Kevin Williamson is probably the writer which I have the least amount of respect for. Okay, Scream was okay...it was fresh and new--not HORROR, but new suspense! Then Dawson's Creek, Scream 2, the utter garbage that was Teaching Mrs. Tingle, and he took 100% credit for just rewriting Lois Duncan's book, I Know What You Did Last Summer. Well, I just really don't like him...He is a smug, whiny, gay man, with little talent! I think him being openly gay is the only thing I respect about him!Now, with that said..Glory Days. I was really expecting to see a dark Dawson's Creek...and in some ways this show is that, but in others it isn't, and steers away from the typical BS Mr. Williamson is famous for. The acting is acceptable, though I didn't think lead man Eddie Cahill was all that good while he was on Friends. He just doesn't capture me as a good actor. He has not expression, however, being gay and and an up-and-comer in hollywood isn't easy. But, he still needs to work on his acting! Jay Feguson plays the sheriff excellent! The rest of the cast, I will not tear apart, but each are okay, but nothing superb. One of the greatest things about the show is the Beautiful Vancouver scenery. It seems Canada is always used for "anywhere" USA. Which is fine, because the images are beautiful. Overall, I don't think this show will last...Only because of the 1st 2 episodes...there was no real meat to them. The 2nd episode was a deliberate rip-off of Exorcist, with a twist, but we (the audience) are expected to beleive way too much...which is typical Williamson. Where did this kid get all this equipment to set up these pranks? I don't know...I can't get into all this...it would just be too complicated!I will continue to watch, until too much of Kevin Williamson is evident in the show. And here is a hint, Kevin: Real people don't talk the way every one of your characters do...especially young people! There is not reality to your characters.(score pending)After 2 episodes: 6 out of 10

brynna87 I have seen alot of tv shows, teen shows imparticular. Which I am sure this show will be classified among most adults. I am a teen, so naturally this show was one I really liked. But my parents both sat down and watched it with me, and both liked it. I thought it was great, the acting, the atmosphere, it was awesome. I liked the fact that it was suspenseful, a bit scarry, and had comedy in it as well. So I say: This show rocks, and I hope others feel the same way!
