Tomorrow Will Be Better


Libor Podmol is Badass!
If you want to see a crazy guy jump 50 feet in the air and do insane backflips, this is definitely the movie to see.

However, I like how the stunning array of visuals in this film is supported by an interesting storyline.

Libor Podmol, a Czech freestyle motocross rider, came to the U.S. with very little recognition, but he has obviously worked incredibly hard to get to the top of the FMX game.

When he won a silver medal at the XGames in LA a few weeks ago, he cemented his position as one of the best FMX riders in the world.

Whether you're a fan of the sport, or you're just looking for a classic story about a man's rise from nothing to the top of his sport, this is a great option.

All About Ego [HD]


Great new stories
I like the animation as well as the characters. The stories seem rushed, you know, they feel to big for a 30 minute show (which is what 17 minutes if your lucky) Anyway, it has great potential. Keeps me coming back every week and I am willing to pay for it so I can re-watch anytime instead of searching for a free viewing some where online.
Disappointing
I'm not really a Hulk fan, but I decided to give this show a shot, since there are other characters (like Batman) that I prefer in TV and movie form, and can't really get into the comics. The first episode was pretty good, with most of the jokes being elevated by Seth Green's charisma, and the plot being more relate-able with him as the human fish out of water, but once he turned into a hulk, the show seems to have lost the humor and charm. It seems to have become everyone making bad jokes, and Rick Jones saying how awesome everything is. I just couldn't get into it. Full disclosure: I only got 3 episodes in before deciding its fate on my schedule. It could always get better.
Agents of hulk
Well it's a good series over all but has a few bugs in it but it has excellent potential to be an excellent series if it had a little more seriousness, also the villains on the show are excellent actually so far Hulk worthy villains that makes him show of his strength and power.

Catacombs


English Actors, Mark Strong & Lennie James Bring Serious Acting Chops! The Question Is Will The Writing Support?
VERY MINOR SPOILERS:

Taken from a 2006 BBC 2-part mini-series. The aforementioned Mark Strong and Lennie James play Detroit cops Frank Andrews and Joe Geddes. Mr. Strong's credentials include everything from "Sherlock Holmes" to "Kick-Ass" while no less impressive, Mr. James is likely best known to US audiences for his 2-year stint on "Jericho".

There is a very good supporting cast, including David Costabile ("The Wire" & "Suits"), Sprague Grayden (Season 7 - "24") and several alumnus from "Generation Kill"

So a cop show set in Detroit? "Detroit 1-8-7" received a score of "63" on Metacritic (review aggregator), while "Low Winter Sun" received a score of "60". However, I like LWS much better than the former. I like the imagery of the Detroit backdrop, the potential for a multi-layered plot, which includes elements of flawed personalities and the "Old School Mafia" versus the "Young Turks". I don't see this as a show that will be easy for someone...
promising
I'm looking forward to the rest of this series - the first two episodes were absorbing and gritty. I should be a keeper.
The Ultimate Movie Review! - (...) - @tss5078
I needed a show to watch after Breaking Bad and the easiest thing to do is simply not change the channel, and that's how I discovered AMC's newest drama, Low Winter Sun. The show is an adaptation of the novel, Low Winter Sun by Simon Donald and if it sounds familiar to you, that because it has already been turned into a movie, back in 2006. While the show has a great time slot and a star who is already familiar with the role he's playing, the ratings for the show have been low and it's because the show has a lot of bark, but it really doesn't have any bite.

Set in the bankrupt city of Detroit, Low Winter Sun, tells the story of two police detectives, who murdered a third. The dead man, Det. McCann was dirty and was putting the whole department at risk and they did what they had to do. The murder of a cop in Detroit is big news and the Mayor wants it solved by the two best homicide detectives they have, who also happen to be the killers themselves. The men are being watched...

Episode 29


BB 15 <3
I love Big Brother, you never know what's going to happen week to week! Expect the unexpected as Julie says!
Not as good as previous seasons.
Simply not as good as previous seasons. Too much crying, too much religion, too much racial BS. The REALITY of how various people from various regions and various financial status within the USA have opinions or attitudes about those of other ethnicities - don't hide it, or try to make excuses for it. THAT is about the only REAL thing that has happened this entire season. It's almost as lame as the producers trying to keep from showing the house members smoking while outside of the house talking. STOP editing out the REALITY and just show the house guests as they truly are - simple as that. This show is all about scheming behind people's back while they lie to their faces. And the best liar - gets rewarded. Now THAT is one heck of a life lesson for all our future generations...right?! Stop with the silly twists like the MVP. Make the viewers who wish to log in to vote a third member for the block be known by the players and then we can see how the shows editing, and how much...
Awful People
Well, thanks to TWC I can't watch it live anymore. But this has been the slimiest bunch of people they have ever had on this show. Especially, Aaryn and Gina Marie. Amanda is pretty gross too. CAN"T WAIT until they find out they've been fired from their real jobs!! Spencer's a pervert.

Arrival II


SCI-FI AS IT SHOULD BE...
"The Arrival" was underrated when it was first released, and, as with all good, underrated movies, it has since become a cult favorite. Clever and imaginative, a lot was done on a limited budget to make it into a top notch sci-fi thriller. It has an intelligent and well reasoned story, and the special effects are imaginative.

Charlie Sheen, clean and sober, plays radio astronomer, Zane Zaminski, who picks up radio signals that are not earthly. When he takes a copy of the tape of these signals, which he believes to be indicative of intelligent, alien life, to his boss, chillingly played by Ron Silver, he is summarily fired from his job. Suddenly, all is not right with the world.

Smelling something real fishy, Zane sets up a home satellite and tries to zero in on the signal. He gets lucky, or unlucky, depending upon how one looks at it, and he picks up the same signal he previously had picked up. It crosses a signal given off by a Mexican radio station, which motivates him to go to...
The most underrated sci-fi/thriller of the 90's
The Arrival is a little known science fiction thriller thatarrived in the early summer of 1996 a year that is much more wellknown for a little film called Independence Day. Both movies are about alien invasions, but are different in execution and style. As to where Independence Day is an action film about visuals and explosions, The Arrival focuses on paranoia, plausibility, and drawing the audience in with an intriguing and credible plot.

Zane Ziminski (Charlie Sheen) and his partner Calvin (Richard Schiff) are radio astronomers who have picked up a signal from outer space, just around a star called Wolf 336, which is 14.6 light years away from Earth. Arrival is writer David Twohy's directorial debut (his other work is Pitch Black, another great sci-fi thriller) and he does a very good job. He makes the plot quite intelligent and keeps the pace moving quickly with a riveting finale. The underlying paranoia is one of the aspects that fuels this movie along. X-Files fans should...
One of my favorite sci-fi thrillers.
Released around the same time as the moronic Independence Day, it's too bad The Arrival was killed at the box office. It's truly the vastly superior film, with an intelligent plot, strong performances, adroit direction, and a lightning pace. Independence Day needed souped-up action scenes to keep the audience awake, but writer/director David Twohy holds the audience's attention with an engaging story, filled with little surprises that unfold brilliantly. I actually saw this movie before Twohy become hot property with the equally great Pitch Black, so I can tell this man is going to be one of the most sought after writer/directors in Hollywood.

The performances are stellar, with Charlie Sheen superb as the paranoid protagonist. Many felt he was miscast for some strange reason. I felt he fit the role perfectly. Teri Polo is good as the girlfriend who may be more than she seems. She's not in the movie nearly as much as Sheen, but she makes an impression with her beauty and solid...

'Gabby' Gabreski [HD]


AIR ACES
I dont have military channel so I hade to buy the first episode to see if it was any good, AMAZING SHOW, I always wanted something just like the tv show Dogfights. Just as good, im thinking about buying the entire first season now.
Great show!
One of the single most entertaining shows about aviation that there is. Gripping stories about pilots, along with great animation and real footage combine for an outstanding show.

Dancing Ninja [HD]


An Amusing Blend of Unique and Ubiquitous
It's hard not to love a movie that will "hassle the Hoff" with a character name like Anson LaDouche! (Note to David: if you're going to rock the sleeveless kimono look, please wax those monkey-man shoulders!)

A blond, Americanesque baby in a basket washes ashore "Somewhere In Asia" where he is adopted by two loving parents. Dad runs an oriental take-out place--ubiquitous. Mom makes and rents instructional sex tapes--unique. Little blond Ikki grows into an unpopular but well-rounded adolescent, helping Dad with deliveries and dreaming, in anime, of becoming a Dancing Ninja.

Ikki seeks training from a martial artist who looks as Oriental as Emeril Lagasse, and sports a chest tattoo that looks like half of a butterfly, dragging a ribbon. When he is turned away at Sabu's dojo, Ikki finds an imaginary friend in an unplugged dance video game and spends two years learning to dance so well that only about half of the dance sequences require him to be shot from the...
The Dancing Ninja
A fun and entertaining comedy about a legendary boy who is lost at sea, and grows up somewhere in Asia. David Hasselhoff plays the campy arch villain. Overall the film is worth watching.

One Piece: Season Five, Voyage Two


Here's a video review for people looking to see if it's worth the purchase.
I think this video explains well what this set is about and if it's worth it, it is not my video, just posting it for people looking to buy.

The Pivotal Moment: Robin's Epiphany
"One Piece: Season Five, Voyage Two" is the box set I have been looking foreword to the most. Last box set, the episodes surrounding Robin's past is revealed and more is expected in this upcoming release. The only thing I can warn for One Piece fans who have not seen the episodes is to be prepared for some of the most heart wrenching plot points in the show thus far. One of the most powerful moments in the anime (or manga for that matter) is coming up in the very first episode of the box set. So far, I have been incredibly impressed with the English voice cast. We shall see how the English cast continues to do. The words "Say you want to live!" are considered by many One Piece fans as one of Luffy's most intense moments in terms of truly standing up for his crew. Good luck Colleen Clinkenbeard! You have quite an act to follow!

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls


I'm not even kidding - this movie is fantastic
So there are a lot of joke reviews on here right now, but here's some real talk: I just got back from seeing Equestria Girls and it really is excellent. The MLP cast and crew have created a movie that has every bit as much heart, magic, and quality as the series. The humor is still intelligent, the animation is still gorgeous, the characters are still themselves, and the writing is just as snappy and spirited as you'd expect from Meghan McCarthy. Don't judge Equestria Girls without giving it a chance, you'll be missing out on a gem of a film and a worthy addition to this generation of My Little Pony.
Review of EqG Movie only
I felt the movie was good for the target audience of young girls. The only problem was a demon at the end that might scare some of the youngest viewers.

For fans of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, there are lots of easter eggs, such as Scootaloo doing the chicken dance and Fluttershy's meeting Spike paralleling her original meeting Spike as a pony. (For non-fans, Scootaloo is a young pegasus type pony who was called a chicken by one of her friends.) Others aren't as obvious and can only be seen by watching the background characters. Watch to the end of the credits to find all the easter eggs.

Music for the movie was not of the same sort as in the broadcast series. Dan Ingram, who writes the song for MLP also wrote the songs for the EqG movie. But he wrote the songs in a pop music style that will appeal to children. Don't expect "The Art of the Dress" or "Winter Wrap Up". I didn't find the songs very memorable the first time I heard them, but they weren't...
Review from a mother for MOTHERS, 4.5 stars
I tried to find a rating(UNRATED) or review before we went to see this and I was sorely disappointed to find a bunch of bad reviews, but they were all coming from adults. I wanted to know if this would be OK for my children to watch. So here is a review from a MOM.

My girls liked this movie, and I didn't feel bad about taking them. I didn't feel like I had to hide their eyes at any point, or remove them from the theater. Yes they had somewhat skimpy clothes, and Applejack straddling a chair in a skirt was a little over the top(nothing obviously showing), not something I want my girls doing, and that is why I knocked off a star, but I come from the 80's gen that grew up with Barbie and Jem in short skirts, and Teela and She-ra running around in cheek hugging bathing suits, and I turned out to be a fairly conservative parent. So really it's not that big a deal.

It was a genuinely good for kids kind of movie though, and taught about friendship, dealt with...

Horse Whisper to a Scream


Guidice vs Gorga
The drama between Theresa and her brother is getting very old. Time for them to either make up or move on. Storyline is getting very old...
Everything wrong with America
The women are worst than trash. Why is there not an option for zero stars? Please save yourself 45 minutes and do something else than watch this garbage.
Sick of Teresa
The season is exciting but I'm getting sick on the only storyline-- I wish there was more than Teresa trouble.
