Nip/Tuck (2003–2010)

"ER" meets Pornography and deception

[10 September 2003]

Okay, Okay..Some people do not like this show, for its graphic material, and mature subject matter. I on the other hand Love it. The show is a little fabricated, not every Physician is screwing there clients..but it is such a great step out of reality. I think it's very entertaining. I am 17, and from a teenagers standpoint, they really catch the feeling of being his age, with hard situations when it comes to sexual preference on oneself, and towards girls. Actor John Hensley Who plays "Matt Mcnamara" (The one I am talking about) In my eyes is pretty gifted. Not every guy deals with his girlfriend going through a stage of same sex interest, but it's a common story...Also, the whole thing about being circumcised, and dealing with parents (Dylan Walsh "Sean McNamara" and Joley Richardson "Julia McNamara") who are going through a shaky marriage. It's a very strong storyline, that makes sence, with a dark twist. Great selling point! Then we have Julian Mcmahon Who plays "Christian Troy" Who spices it up with every attractive female client that "Mcnamara Troy" get. He's a very interesting character, and it's fun to see what he does next.

I honestly can't see why people talk some much smack about this show? Look at the other shows on F/X. Shows like "The Shield" and "Hitch Hiker Cronicals" They are obviously shooting for the 16-25 crowd, with horny minds, and vivid imaginations. I think it's excellent. ER is too bland..and porno....well porno doesn't always get the job done, It's redundant. Combine the two, Good acting, and provactive situations..and you hit the jackpot.

10/10 stars, this is my favorite show on T.v.

One Hour Photo (2002)

Great actors...Not so believable ending?

[31 August 2003]

****Couple of spoilers...if you plan on seeing this, don't read****



When I first saw the trailer for "One Hour Photo" I was expecting a horror film about a crazed photo developer. Instead we get a story about this man named Seymour "Cy" Parris, who is literally obsessed with his job. But he takes interest into his customers as well, one family in particular, The Yorkins. He takes so much interest, that he makes doubles of pictures they develop, Follows them home..watches there activities..the usual Stalker material.

The movie goes on to show how "Cy" is an alienated person in life...deprived of friendship..No family backround. He's overall just an empty guy, looking for friendship, and ultimately this family "The Yorkins" He has all these dreams of being "Uncle Cy" ...Aww..

I think the movie is great, it kinda kept you on the edge of your seat, It had a very easy going, intriguing storyline. Most of all you just wanted to see what Mr. "Cy" Was all about.

Cy ends up losing his job at the photo area, and he loses control of his emotions as well. And that's when the movie took kinda a bad turn. It got dark..And things like adultery, Assault, Attempted murder..These are brought into the picture.

Now, overall, I did like the movie. I only have one problem...the very end of the movie, Like the whole outcome of the family. Will Yorkin (Michael Vartan) Has been committing adultery. Once Cy finds this out, his perfect family is ruined. So he goes on a rampage to teach Mr. Yorkin a lesson. So, CY does a lot of mean things to him...Cy gets arrested..Okay

The whole movie lead on you to think that Cy was looking for this family to take him in. It's unbelievable they decide to after what he did to Mr. Yorkin, and his petafile like instincts...not exactly flattering, more like creepy. 7/10 stars
