Reviews

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
rockoforza Not since Jake Pavelka – who had a body like his fitness star brother Jessie - has the Bachelor featured a physique like the one Sean Lowe sports this season. Lowe, 28, is a 6'3" Texan who is still built like the champion linebacker he was at Kansas State. Along with his boy-next-door good looks, his ripped body makes him one of the sexiest bachelors they have ever featured. And he knows it too.He seems happy that the show never misses an opportunity to showcase his sculpted muscles. Whether it's working out shirtless or lounging by the pool, Sean's near-perfect body is always on display. The girls on the show constantly talk about it and some even encourage him to take his shirt off when they're together. Sean has fun with an "aw shucks" attitude, but he knows his body is hot. The show's producers also know they have something America wants to see and they purposely put him in situations where going bare-chested is easy.A case in point is the latest photo shoot date where Sean and the girls posed for the covers of romance novels. With his bare torso shaved smooth and oiled to highlight every ripple, Sean can only smile as one delighted beauty runs her hands over his six-pack abs. Trying to start out slow, as a sexy cowboy, Sean wears a shirt but leaves it unbuttoned. By the end of the shoot, the women competed with each other to see who could rip it open far enough to nuzzle up against his bare skin. While the camera clicked, Sean tried to look nonchalant but casually flexed to make sure each picture showed him off at his best. After the shoot, Sean and the ladies wound up at a pool party, and there he was again in a bathing suit, giving the girls – and the rest of us at home – another chance to see his impressive physique.Sean knows his body makes him a sex object and it looks like he loves having it on display. The show is just beginning and the coming attractions have a lot of beach and pool scenes. Will we get a shot of Mr. Lowe in a speedo? Clearly, Sean wants us to stay tuned and see.
flute_ian My friendette *forced* me, so to speak, to look at this.3 notes: (1) The Guinness Book of World Records: Most Utterances Of The Word *Amazing*, leaving me to wonder if all the contestants purchased their college degrees.(2) My eyes whited-over. Then I saw a blurb on the net listing this show as a favorite for Republicans, then it tied together. Since I don't live in a society where anglo-Caucasian-masses huddle together frightfully, I therefore can't feel much of a connection to this show's world.(3) Actor-wannabes pose falsely: All the contestants here are simply looking for another gig: a soap, a movie, anything. And the producers make the most odd choices, as in the upcoming depressed wineguy (please wash hair). Whichever lady *wins* will at least be able to drown the consequences of her mistake by heading downstairs to the cellar with those big casks etc.This is the first time I have looked at ABC since the cancellation years ago of the brilliant Cupid. Good-bye again, ABC.
hyper-nike05 Sitting down to watch the 14th season of the Bachelor ("On the Wings of Love"), I knew I would be in for an "interesting" time. I had watched some of the previous seasons of the Bachelor in passing; watching an episode or two and missing the next three or so. I find that the Bachelor is often appealing and intriguing, though its quality and morality are often lacking."On the Wings of Love" details the journey taken by Jake, a 31 year old commercial pilot from Dallas, Texas, to find true love, as true a love as one can find in a season-long reality-drama dating show. Jake meets 25 beautiful girls from all over the country. He begins to get to know them a bit, but it is mostly superficial; how well can you get to know someone in a few 5 minute conversations? Jake tries to make his true intentions known from the very beginning, at least to the audience. He noted that he doesn't just want love or a good time, but he wants a fiancé or wife. We can only assume that he has made this clear to the women in the competition as well. If that is the case, it might explain, to a degree, some of the women's actions. The women are super competitive. While they don't even know Jake at all yet, they are still in it to win it no matter what the cost.Not only were the women competitive, but they were also confident and catty. Threats, backstabbing, and warnings of "Watch out!" all show that these women weren't there for a good time either. Jake noted that he was not just looking for sex appeal, but looking for "a connection." However, the girls pulled out all the stops to try to impress Jake with said sex appeal. They arrived at the mansion in skimpy dresses – either low-cut or short.While some girls seemed to maintain their sense of decorum, others missed that memo altogether. One girl, Channy, noted that Jake was a "good guy" to whom she could be a "naughty girl." She went on to say that Jake could land on her "runway anytime." She got flack from the other girls for her provocative statement which showed their take on these situations.So, a reality dating show couldn't be that bad, could it? Besides the obvious issue of sex-driven attraction, there are other issues that mar this seemingly harmless show. Is this the right way to find a future mate; vying for someone's attention by flaunting oneself to extreme proportions? Unfortunately, however, that is what America has reduced dating to these days: pleasure and sex without commitment and a little happiness on the side.Another problem is the premature emotional attachment by which many of the girls bound themselves to Jake. A few girls in particular seemed to be overly attached. One girl said "If I don't get that first impression rose it will kill me!" As mentioned before, they don't even know him yet and she was talking about a specific rose, not just one of the 15 roses to keep from being eliminated.Michelle, in particular, seemed to have some issues with attachment to Jake. The other girls noticed it too. After one particular Michelle outburst, Vienna asserted that Michelle had a "mental breakdown and we've only been here an hour." Michelle got the last rose of the evening on the first show – narrowly missing elimination – and was extremely emotional about it. The other girls thought it was simply ridiculous. Another girl also cried, but because she was eliminated.It began with Survivor, and from there it just took off – reality TV. It shows our entertainment interests as a country; if we weren't watching the shows and giving them good ratings, the networks would not continue to run them. The only logical conclusion that can be drawn is that enough of America is hooked. One thing is clear: America (in general) loves reality TV and its ensuing trappings.This begs me to question: why is it that we even like reality TV? What is it about it that draws us to it? Is it because we see the similarities to our own lives, or is it because we want to be sure that we are more stable and less pathetic than others? Whatever it is that draws us to it, we should be careful of the media and entertainment that we allow to fill our minds. I'm not saying that all reality TV shows are bad; however, I am saying that we need to evaluate each one.Episodes used for critique: Season Premier and Episode 2.
sababy420 Just a thought.......but not one minority bachelor/bachelorette?? I didn't even know this trash was still on, but happened to see on the internet a new London bachelor. Are u kidding? This show should be boycotted. It is absolutely ridiculous that more has not been said about the fact that this is a racist show. I believe there is a station for shows like this, FOX news, but ABC, actually the network should be boycotted. I believe I watched the first or second bachelor and then became bored to tears when it was the same crap over and over. Why not watch Days of Our Lives? At least you know its a crock of crap. Anyway, this show is clearly RACIST! But the sad thing is, ABC would put a minority on and still surround he/she with all white men/women and stereotypical minorities. It took Hollywood forever to showcase Lucy Liu, Hallie Berry, Selma Hayek or any pretty minority for that matter. ABC.....how sad.
