Nonureva Really Surprised!
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
gooroov After one episode I probably won't bother watching more, watching all these people acting with all their might makes me tired.However, one thing really puzzles me: the idea that the concept or even the exact NAME is original. As a matter of historical fact the US was developing an actual comprehensive DB on all citizens in the 1990s literally called "T.I.A.", except the "A" stood for "Access" instead of "Awareness", if memory serves.The actual program was abandoned as being "too intrusive" but there is a lot of information that the program was simply adjusted and renamed.It's weird to watch a show that presents something that existed 20 years ago as fanciful or futuristic. TIA was old even BEFORE Snowden.
Gre Mai This has got to be the most aggravating television series I've ever seen/watched. I don't know which is more appropriate as I seem to have watched it despite myself. You can't not watch it, you're bound to be curious as to what happens next, but it's a painful viewing. Yes, as in not very well made. Which is heartbreaking as there's clearly something there. The topic is fascinating, the plot potentially thrilling, the characters and the acting somehow more human and believable than it would be were it an American production. Benedict Cumberbatch inhabits this enigmatic geeky OCD character with a Jimmy Stewart-like everyman hero-ness about him while never oversimplifying him. Anamaria Marinca paints a sincere and passionate character in Yasim. Now, these two actors and these two characters and their story makes sense to me. The rest of the characters weren't as clear or good, which no amount of good acting could (or indeed did) save. The plot itself wasn't that hard to follow, but comprehending the motivation of the characters or being convinced by it was a bit of a stretch. Something somewhere in the making of this series went wrong. Strange thing is it's pretty hard to put one's finger on it. Was it the writing? But then what made me want to keep on watching? Was it the directing, the photography, the editing? I think the director should take some blame - all the bits didn't seem to tie in. The camera movement did at one point actually bother me - when the camera tilted diagonally to fit the heads of actors squarely into the shot (very bizarre). And the story could indeed have been helped along in editing. Watching it in 2012 I was never going to be harsh on how realistic it is or isn't. It's more of an exercise of thought, what could happen and perhaps make you question the things you willingly do in this day and age already, what this could mean. The ending was both frustrating and not frustrating. What happens to Michael and what Russell ends up being (by the way, what WAS he?) would be the frustrating bit. And the situation Stephen ends up in is mentally and emotionally deliciously excruciating.
samkan It is not just that THE LAST ENEMY is disappointing or doesn't fulfill its promise. Rather, the mini-series takes a downhill plunge such that, by the end, TLE is annoying and downright painful to watch.The film begins as most promising, intriguing, etc. The ninety minute intro episode introduces several interesting characters and events that compel the viewer to "tune in next time". The second episode, now an hour in length, is still fun though it seems to just offer more characters and circumstances; i.e., without much in the way of moving things along. By the third episode we're getting character vignettes without much in the way of cohesion and with plodding method.By episode four we're frustrated as far as what or who we're supposed to suspect and are absolutely bored with the personal stories, love conflicts of the main characters. By then we're so tired of seeing our lead character's facial expression of screwed-up astonishment that we want to paint a mustache on it. By episode five we just want Robert Carlyle's character (by then his thick Irish accent is the only fun thing left) to just kill everyone, which he almost does anyway.
akraptor Because I have the part of a tali ban there, "Dark Glasses". Was working with David Harewood in the movie. Wore the infamous Bin Laden cap, and dark glasses. .doh. Clean-up operations, . .corpse dispatchers. . Filming it was such a great experience with Director Iain B MacDonald. Very hot weather, up there in the mountains. The crew was great and had a wonderful time there. Never met Robert Carlyle on set (because we had different filming locations and schedule, even though we where connected in the movie, through communication stuff, I mean a cellular phone..I missed the opportunity to talk to Max Beesley about his part in "Torque". He was too focused on his role and didn't dare to bother him. Was just curious. .don't know if I'll ever get a copy of this episode. Just let me know if Episode 3 is coming.Thanks,Dark Glasses
