The 100: Inclement Weather (2014) Season 2, Episode 2

Great First Two Episodes!

[10/10 · 8 November 2014]

Unlike my other favorite show carried by The CW, (Supernatural) this first of Season 2,both episodes 1 and 2 had me on the edge of my seat. Both the first and second episodes were stellar in the writing and plot.

The part where Jaha hears the baby and finds the baby, well duh I guess my brain wasn't working correctly. I believed that he had really found a baby even though I couldn't understand how it could have been put there and survived.

Come to find out it was all in Jaha's mind due to oxygen deprivation.

I always wanted for Jaha to somehow find a way to make it to earth and he does. But I mean why didn't he think of that before? The explanation which was hardly none of him realizing he can use a rocket to get to earth, which to me was SO implausible I'm sure that had a lot to do with the lack of an explanation or details.

However he did make it which is great. Don't know exactly where he landed, but someone in the comments said New York.

Also hate the fact that once the adults got on the ground, Kane in particular has got his trusty rule book with him, and is obnoxiously overbearing to the juveniles.

I mean they survived without the adults, most of them anyway, yet they are now treated like 12 year old's by Kane.

Now Abby once again, has gotten herself in trouble. I haven't seen the episode from Nov. 5th yet, but I realize Abby is a rebel and I like her for that, but with Kane in charge she is treading on thin ice.

Clarke does not trust their so called new protectors, and for good reason I feel. Something is SO wrong there with the leaders and we got a glimpse of horror as Clarke investigates the medical facility.

Jasper is always SO trusting. Give him a good meal, and a warm place with no fighting or threat, and he seems oblivious to the fact that they all could be just flies there to feed the spiders.

All in all a great second episode which continued that excellent writing from the first. Can't wait to see last Wednesday's.

Supernatural: Black (2014) Season 10, Episode 1

Still a Long Way to Go

[8/10 · 9 October 2014]

It seems like a long way to go before the brothers are right with one another again. Now Dean is a demon or DEANMON as the producers have announced in the previews. He is vicious and utterly cold. In the end his face was set in stone and he didn't seem to care what happened one whit to his brother Sam. Although I found the episode interesting and a good one, I am praying that Castiel will get his grace back soon before he dies. Basically he is little more than a normal human, that's why he was sleeping and has the cough etc. He needs his power back.

It was fun seeing the charismatic Mark Sheppard again as Crowley though. He did a great job as usual.

I was a little let down though by this first episode of S10 and wished it had been a little more impactful and also wished there had been a couple characters from the past, instead of just Sam, Dean and Castiel. I guess you could count Hannah as well, but I had hoped to see maybe Garth or Gabriel or some of the other interesting regular characters.

All in all I enjoyed it though and am looking forward to episode 2.

The Strain (2014–2017)

Total waste of 30 minutes

[1/10 · 18 August 2014]

I really wanted this to be good, but after watching the first episode or at least 30 minutes of it, I was totally let down.

Not only was it rather slow paced, I found the dialog boring, the acting not very good, the graphic language unnecessary, and the violence way too gory. I made it as far as the vampire beast thing breaking a man's neck after attacking him, then smashing his head to smithereens over and over with the camera showing every detail. That's when I gave up.

Supernatural is way better as is The Last Ship. The latter is fast paced, great acting, and gripping story. The former, Supernatural is the best if you are looking for the supernatural stories with great acting, writing and plots. Yes it too has violence but most of it is within the good vs evil type of story and trust me not as violent as I just watched.

And to think this won a Critic's Choice award for "Best Exciting New Series." Will wonders never cease.

Supernatural: Heaven and Hell (2008) Season 4, Episode 10

Excellent Episode

[10/10 · 15 August 2014]

Although I enjoyed this episode very much, and there was a really tense scene near the end involving, the boys, Castiel, Uriel, Anna, Alastair and Ruby, I would like to talk about something else.

It's regarding the Christianity aspect of this show in response to other viewers who were offended by the inaccuracies.

Speaking as a born again Christian, I once felt like that.

Then there are others who ignorantly think that this is how Christianity really is, and have even stated that the series story about Angels, God, Lucifer etc. is from the Christianity angle.

Um not really.

Although the show loosely follows certain elements from the Holy Bible, it is often a distorted and made up view of God and Christianity.

At first this bothered me, being a Bible based Christian myself, but when I realized the show is NOT to be taken seriously regarding the ideas and plots concerning the Bible or Christianity and remember it's simply FANTASY and entertainment then there's no problem.

I mean come on now, God is not really how they portray him, nor are angels, Archangels or Lucifer.

In the series they're portrayed like flawed humans, power hungry and who have mental issues for the most part. Heaven in reality is a HOLY place without sin not some horrid battleground with political agendas.

That could never happen. Even the final battle of Armageddon that will take place in the future, between God, Satan, and Michael is not in Heaven.

The Archangels, Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Balthazar and the others in the show, the way they are portrayed, you'd think they were working for Satan not God. Simply put, the angels are missing the "holy" factor in the series. The only Archangel of any merit is Castiel though he was tempted and erred in judgment as well. At least he is basically good. The only other angel I thought was good was Anna.

And to suggest God is dead or missing too which comes up in later episodes, is plain ludicrous. That was a real stretch for me.

Lastly if you remember this is nothing but entertainment, fantasy at it's best, it's easy then to take. It's a show with great imaginative writing as well as terrific acting by all the actors involved. And still even with the distorted religious view it's basically nothing more than a battle between good and evil and I appreciate it on that level.

The Last Ship (2014–2018)

You're never too old to be surprised!

[10/10 · 14 August 2014]

Nobody was more surprised then I that I liked this show after watching only one episode! Just so you understand, I'm a 60 something female who just has never gotten into war movies or military type movies etc. But this was post-apocalyptic and I admit I do like those types of movies. At the time, I was very bored and couldn't find anything to watch so I thought it wouldn't hurt to watch one episode.

Well let me say that this show rocks! The acting is superb by all! The storyline is fast paced which I love, there's always some tense moments throughout each episode and/or problems that sort of keep you on the edge of your seat.

Prior to this I'd never really been a fan of Eric Dane. I used to watch him in the series Charmed, but he's grown as an actor. He makes a great Captain who is faced with some hard choices. I appreciate him now as an actor more than I have previously.

I've seen 6 episodes now, and On Demand, through my cable co. has 2 more. Then I will be caught up and I can watch the actual episodes on Sunday night. I look forward to it.

Elysium (I) (2013)

Cool movie, One that I would watch again!

[9/10 · 10 June 2014]

One night I was so bored. Found a movie listed with my On Demand movies for free. Wasn't at all sure about it but it turned out to be a really good movie. Matt Damon was great and I am not even a real fan of his, but he did an awesome job in the role of Max.

Jodie Foster plays a heartless bitch from hell. Totally cold and uncaring with no compassion for the earthlings whatsoever. They were basically bugs to her. She was very convincing in the role as well, but I would expect that from her.

The movie kept me enthralled from the start to the end. Lots of action, and what Max has to go through is what really keeps you on the edge of your seat.

It's unfortunate that he sacrifices himself at the end to save all of his people on earth. But by doing that the critical data he was trying so hard to get into the system is put there by Spider and so saves the people of earth. Even so with the main character dying, the movie was great and well worth watching.

The other characters such as Frey played by Alice Braga, Julio played by Diego Luna, Spider played by Wagner Moura and John Carlyle played by William Fichtner were equally good.

Honorable mention goes to the crazed hit-man, Kruger played by Sharlto Copley. He was somebody I wanted to see destroyed only he was SO difficult to do just that!

All in all a good movie and I would recommend this to people who love action SciFi movies.

Supernatural: Do You Believe in Miracles (2014) Season 9, Episode 23

From Tears to Shock!

[9/10 · 21 May 2014]

This was a great ending to a decent season 9 and though it wasn't the best season, it was interesting. This particular episode is worth watching for sure.

Viewing the scenes with the new God, I found myself wishing SOMEBODY would stop the egomaniac Metatron in his tracks. I was SO disappointed that Dean not only failed to do so, but ended up getting killed in the process. I was SO sad and shed a few tears, but then, enter a savior. A savior for Dean only one you wouldn't expect.

Crowley? So he brings Dean back as a Demon? How is THAT even possible I'm wondering? But then again he IS the King of Hell, so I guess yeah he could do that.

But what on earth is Sam going to think? Will he even realize that Dean is a demon? I'm thinking not, at least not at first. But I'm sure he will find out eventually.

And Metatron is now behind bars because non-leader Castiel decided to spare the angel his life. I'm not sure that was a wise choice. I somehow feel Metatron will not be imprisoned for long. He's too smart and he will find a way to escape, you know it.

I'm SO looking forward to the first episode of Season 10. Can't wait until it comes out. Hope I don't have to wait too long.

The 100: Unity Day (2014) Season 1, Episode 9

Plot Analysis of a Great Episode

[10/10 · 16 May 2014]

I really enjoyed this particular episode. It was interesting when Clarke met the leader of the grounders who's a woman no less.

Unfortunately trigger happy Jasper made a really bad move, when he panicked and fired at the grounders in the trees.

This episode has lots going on. Both on the ark with the Rebel faction being responsible for planting a bomb and killing some innocent people up there, and for stealing the Exodus to escape to earth.

Then on the ground as I mentioned there's the meeting between the grounders and Clarke and her band of protectors. Well that didn't go as planned. Yet I can't help but wonder what the grounders in the trees would have done if Jasper hadn't fired first. Would they have attacked any of them or Clarke?

Back on the Ark Abby got attacked when she was inside the Exodus so it looks like she is coming to earth as well. But the rest who remained behind on the ark from what was mentioned supposedly they are all going to die unless they find a way to get the systems going again. Man there are so many plots in this episode including all the relationship plots.

Octavia obviously has it bad for the grounder, Miller, played by Jarod Joseph. As an actor playing his character, he shows a lot of charisma and is pretty darn gorgeous too, but seems to be a decent actor as well.

Then there's Clarke. I feel that she and Bellamy will be a couple. She seems more and more to be influenced by him. It was bad judgement for her that she went behind Finn's back and had Bellamy follow her and her group, who then brings along Jasper who brings along Raven of all people.

She also broke her agreement with Finn that no guns would be brought. Yet I have to ask myself what would have happened regarding those grounders in the trees, if they hadn't brought protection? Would our heroes have been murdered if the enemy did fire?

Regardless of that, I think Clarke and Bellamy are going to become romantically involved and I find that interesting. Finn is not the right guy for Clarke, after all he's still in love with Raven. But time will tell.

Regarding the grounders I just can't help but feel that war is inevitable now. What with the rebels who's ship crashed btw, (what happened there?) I can't see how peace could be achieved between the two groups, the grounders and the 100 plus anytime soon that is.

The way the episodes are going, I mean every one of them has me on the edge of my seat at some point and this one was no different. I look forward to the next episode. Well done!

The Tomorrow People: Son of Man (2014) Season 1, Episode 22

Intriguing yet Troublesome Finale!

[9/10 · 8 May 2014]

First off, I knew that Roger's days were numbered on the show. I couldn't see how he would fit in as a regular. There were twists and turns though as usual for this episode. Was very disappointed that John who had been stripped of his powers, looked as if he was going to get them back through the DNA from Roger. But oh no, he got a little bit something extra, thanks to the enemy you love to hate, Jedikiah. Every time I think I was wrong about him, and he is after all decent, he turns out to be the opposite.

He tells John, that he is giving John a part himself and Roger, by restoring the powers. But now John is his pawn and God knows what Jed is going to be having John doing for him. The only thing we were told is that John is supposed to bring Cara to Jed.

This is SO f'd up. Also I don't quite understand Natalie. I mean the Founder was destroyed though I somehow feel he will come back somehow, but I mean he's gone, and yet she is still acting as though she's following her king's agenda?

She lived with The Tomorrow People and was loyal to them for a lot longer so I don't get it. And then she pops in and tries to take down Cara. That was a very cool scene btw when Stephen showed up.

Anyway I am so looking forward to Season 2. I am pretty certain this show will be renewed from what Executive Producer Phil Klemmer said over at zap2it. He pretty much indicates that there will be a season 2. Thank goodness! I look forward to it.

The 100: Earth Kills (2014) Season 1, Episode 3

Double Whammy

[7/10 · 4 April 2014]

Although I really liked this series so far I was very disappointed in this particular episode. They killed off two characters, one of whom was one of my favorites, Atom, and the other who I thought an integral part of the series, Clarke's best friend, Wells. I thought Atom was interesting both physically (his features) and as a character and possible love interest for Octavia. He dies a horrible death helped along by Clarke, which in that case was a mercy killing The other character Wells is killed by a child! She blamed him because Wells' father was responsible for her parents being executed.

If this is any indication of how the series is going I may not end up staying with it. IMO it's far too soon to be killing off regular characters. We barely have had time to really develop bonds with certain ones but I was doing that with Adam, and I even liked Wells after the truth came out on who was responsible for Clarke's Father being floated. Then right after that he's murdered. After he and Clarke cleared the bad blood. Couldn't they have waited a bit? The writers seem to be in quite a rush to kill off someone in every episode.

For now I will still watch as I am curious to find out what is behind the golden mist that keeps appearing and destroying people. I mean that's something new that wasn't on earth when the survivors left.

But if they kill off any more main characters as I said I doubt I will continue to view then. My favorites right now are Clarke, Bellamy, Jasper and Octavia. So we'll see what happens.

The 100: Earth Skills (2014) Season 1, Episode 2

So hooked on this new series!

[10/10 · 28 March 2014]

The CW has me watching two of their best series currently. Supernatural and The Tomorrow People. I love both and now they've done it again with The 100.

By the end of the pilot I was enthralled and sucked in, but by Episode 2, I was hooked for good! I love the acting in this. There are SO many talented actors such as Paige Turco (Person of Interest) as Abby, newcomer Eliza Taylor as Clarke, Isaiah Washington (Grey's Anatomy)as Chancelor Jaha, and Henry Ian Cusack (Lost, Scandal) as Kane who plays a perfect bad guy.

But there are so many more that are good, such as Thomas McDonell as Finn, Christopher Larkin as Monty, Marie Avgeropoulos as Octavia.

This series has a plethora of talent, all really do stellar jobs. The writing is the other thing I love. The plot is very entertaining, and the way they do the problems, or the ugly issues that happen I admire.

The scene where Jasper swings to the other side of the river, was an example. I wondered if something bad was going to happen simply because Octavia already had the incident with the snake. But what happened was shocking even so.

Also the development that was revealed was for sure, despite this being earth whose human species perished, with just a few escaping to create the space station where the human race could live on, it was for sure to be expected. So I was not that surprised that something else survived on earth and indeed lives on.

I'm looking forward to see the next episode in this series. I've already seen the preview and it looked awesome. I highly recommend this to anyone that loves Science Fiction type plots, but who also likes great acting, with an interesting plot as well.

The Tomorrow People: Things Fall Apart (2014) Season 1, Episode 13

Best Episode by Far!

[22 February 2014]

I started watching this series just last week and had to catch up with former episodes online. I was hooked by the second one unlike the series Grimm which I gave up after watching six eps and finally realizing that there just was not much character development or depth to the lead characters.

The Tomorrow People on the other hand has a lot going for it. I pray that it will be renewed by the CW because I don't get into watching a lot of series. The only other one I watch regularly is my favorite Supernatural.

As for this show, this episode was absolutely riveting! Of course they ended it on a cliffhanger and I can't wait to see the next one on Feb. 26th which just happens to be my daughters birthday. (easy to remember)

As for the plot, Lots of twists and turns and betrayals and shocking information. But nothing prepared me for the ending, where we find out that Stephen's Mother is a TP. I didn't see that coming at all and that's what made that last scene so shocking.

I kept wondering through this whole series when Stephen would tell his Mother what has been going on with him, and it seemed like he came really close to it this time. But then you find out the evil Founder who I just love to hate BTW, reneges on his promise to clear Astrid from Ultra's radar and instead sends the kill squad to not only kill her but it was plain to see they would have killed her Father AND Stephen's own mother.

I also am enjoying the story line between Cara and John. Cara I feel should not have been voted in as a leader. She's SO not a leader, and I totally agreed with John and what he said about him continuing to make decisions when he knows it's the right thing to do, no matter who is the top dog. I mean for Cara to tell John to leave just burned me up. John has done SO much and is so necessary and valuable to their cause and people, to have him up and leave is just plain ludicrous.

Which shows Cara knows nothing about being a true leader. She knows John's capabilities and strengths and his value and she would let him walk out because her ego is damaged. For me this was the best episode I've seen yet by far. Hope to see many more.

The Tomorrow People: Kill or Be Killed (2013) Season 1, Episode 4

Great Episode

[8/10 · 18 February 2014]

Just started watching this series recently. Am doing catch up right now and I have to say this third episode of the series was a winner.

I love the acting of Luke Mitchell as John Young as well as Robbie Amell as Stephen Jameson.

Unlike the other reviewers I had no problem with the end of this episode. Luke said Kill or be Killed if he sees Jed on the street in the future. What he was saying is this is war.

But to kill him at that moment wouldn't have been much of a fair fight now would it? As for him not telling the other TP's makes a whole lot of sense to me. But I'm pretty sure they will find out in the future.

As for Jed's motivation regarding the kill or be killed issue, he explains in this episode. That he wanted a perfect TP. One that COULD kill, because he wants to use that perfect TP for his own purposes by them being on his team. So his early confession of why he hates TP's because they would eventually become killers was a lie. He really wants the ones he influences or trains to become killers for his own benefit. As for the rest who won't work or join his team he will kill them. It's pretty simple to me.

Mark Pellegrino by the way is perfect as Jedikiah in the show. Watched him as Lucifer in Supernatural and also briefly in Being Human for the first season. He does the bad guy SO well.

Regarding more on the plot, I loved the special effect when John had to disarm the 5 bombs. That was pretty awesome to watch. All in all a very interesting episode. Looking forward to the next.

Supernatural: The Purge (2014) Season 9, Episode 13

Troubled Over Sam and Dean

[4/10 · 5 February 2014]

Being a big fan of Supernatural for the past 6 months, I've seen all the episodes of every season and enjoy watching them over and over again. I mean there are so many how can one ever get bored by the reruns? I would give this episode like 4 out of 10 stars tho. I felt saddened by the trouble and issues between the brothers.

On the one hand, Dean would do almost anything for his brother, but it doesn't seem as if Sam feels the same way. I used to believe they had a deep emotional bond, and loved one another unconditionally and that family was everything to them, even though they rarely use the L word between the two to describe their own feelings.

When Sam said he wouldn't have done the same for Dean if the situation was reversed that made me very sad and a bit confused. I don't understand the writing and why the writer would be putting this kind of angst in between the two. It doesn't make sense to me.

As for the other stuff in the plot, it was interesting. And I was quite relieved to see Sam talk some sense into Dean, as far as NOT killing Maritza. I didn't feel she did anything truly wrong morally speaking, and should not have been taken out. It was good that Dean was able to see reason.

I really hope the relationship between Sam and Dean improves and goes back to a loving one, without so much friction.

I also hope there is going to be a Season 10. I really don't get into much t.v. at all, and I truly enjoy this series so much. This is one of the best series regarding supernatural stuff on t.v. Mostly because of the incredibly clever and awesome writing. I love this series!

Supernatural: The Girl Next Door (2011) Season 7, Episode 3

Bad Writing, Bad Episode

[2/10 · 29 January 2014]

One of the worst episodes in my least favorite season of Supernatural. I hated the Leviathan storyline to begin with, the scene in the previous episode of the doctor performing surgery and then eating the woman's liver was monstrously disturbing beyond belief, However, for the moment I will give my review of this particular episode.

First of all, Dean killing Amy was WRONG on so many levels. To go behind Sam's back after he agreed to trust him, and then he goes and kills her, will definitely create more trouble between the brothers.

Not only should Dean NOT have killed Amy, he took away the kid's mother as well and obviously scarred the kid for life. It's as if Dean was playing God and he felt it was his duty, never mind that Amy promised him she would not kill again ever. I know the motto or creed of the hunter is to kill all monsters, but It's too bad it's going to take a couple more seasons before they realize that not all monsters should be killed.

I hated this episode as I said and felt the writing was poor, cold and unjust. My rating is 2 stars.

Being Human: Addicted to Love (2012) Season 2, Episode 5

Enough is enough

[2/10 · 9 January 2014]

After watching Season 1 and 2 up to this episode which I did not finish I am pretty much convinced I am giving up on this series. I can't take all the gore and that regarding the vampire aspect. Seeing Aidan making love in a vat of bloody gore with his female vampire is not a turn on at all for me, and I find it disgusting and disturbing.

It's too bad because I was enjoying the other plots in the show regarding the werewolves and ghost, but seriously every time I see a scene like the one I described with the vampires I get nauseated. It's too graphic and gory for my taste I guess. So I will put this one back on the shelf.

Being Human (2011–2014)

Jury still out

[6/10 · 8 January 2014]

Being a big fan of shows such as Charmed and currently Supernatural, I discovered this series (U.S. version) about a month ago. Right now I am getting caught up and am on Season 1. My initial impressions were that I didn't much like the characters or actors who play them. Aidan is the strongest most compelling character. Josh has grown on me a bit but not a whole lot. Sally I basically like and the actress does a good job with the role. I enjoy supernatural type movies and series that really focus on good fighting evil. However, I'm not sure that this series is necessarily about that.

Though I realize Aidan, Josh and Sally are trying to live normal lives, and not give in to the monsters inside of them, still some of the stuff in particular, is a bit hard to take.

Like Aidan and Rebecca having a bloody suck fest in the one episode, and in "Going Dutch," I almost decided not to watch anymore when I saw one scene, with a very pregnant woman with her swollen belly exposed, laid out on a dining room table, and then finding out she was pg with twins, and she was there to be sustenance for the vampires gathered around her. I thought that was extremely disturbing. Although they never touch her beyond Bishop drawing some blood from her wrist, in the ensuing fight, the table she is lying on gets completely flipped over. Also disturbing was Rebecca turning Bernie, the little boy into a vampire. I knew what was coming in that episode, that Aidan would have to put him down.

I'm not sure if I will continue to watch the entire series but will continue for the present. I want to see if Season 2 will be any better.

Supernatural: A Very Supernatural Christmas (2007) Season 3, Episode 8

Show Just Fantasy but Bad Episode!

[2/10 · 15 December 2013]

To people who are getting offended by the shows for religious issues, keep in mind that this is just pure fantasy people! I'm a Christian and I also agree with Princess6000. I've seen seasons 4, 5, 6 and part of 7. Am now catching up on other shows from Season 3 and the other previous seasons as well. However, if I took everything literally as to how Christianity is portrayed I would have stopped watching this series long ago.

That aside I didn't like much of this particular episode. There were a few funny parts as always but a lot more gross, twisted and disturbing parts. Such as children having to hear someone getting torn apart after they've discovered Santa or so they think. Then Sam getting his fingernail ripped out by the roots! That was horrible! I don't get into torture especially that of our main characters. All in all I think the writer went overboard in the grossness category and at least could have left the torture bit out. So this one episode was a real disappointment.

Supernatural (2005–2020)

From Charmed to Supernatural

[9/10 · 12 December 2013]

I had been a follower of the series Charmed featuring three sister witches fighting evil. That series ended in 2006 after it's eighth season, though TNT shows reruns of it all the time.

I started watching Supernatural last month which was airing Season 4 at the time. I am writing this review though to clear up any misconceptions certain people may have about the so called Christian aspect of the show as has been mentioned by other viewers who have stated that the religious aspect is from the Christian angle. It is?

Although they loosely follow certain elements from the Holy Bible, it is a distorted and ofttimes made up view of God and Christianity. At first this bothered me, being a Christian myself, but when I realized the show is NOT to be taken seriously regarding the ideas and plots concerning the Bible and Christianity and remember it's simply FANTASY and entertainment then it's easier to take.

I mean come on, God is not how they portray him, nor are Archangels or Lucifer. Heaven is a HOLY place without sin not some battleground. That could never happen. Even the battle that will take place in the future, between Satan and Michael is not in Heaven.

The Archangels, Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Balthazar and the others in the show, the way they are portrayed, you'd think they were working for Satan not God. The only Archangel of any merit is Castiel though he was tempted and erred in judgment as well. At least he is basically good. To suggest God is dead or missing too is plain ludicrous. That was a real stretch for me.

But if you remember it is nothing but entertainment, fantasy at it's best, it's easy then to understand. It is a show with great imaginative writing as well as terrific acting by all the actors involved. And still even with the distorted religious view it's basically nothing more than a battle between good and evil and I appreciate it on that level.

Total Recall (I) (2012)

What a waste of time!

[3/10 · 4 April 2013]

Too many action scenes and not enough plot. They changed so much in this movie leaving out the main part of the plot entirely which was the Mars story and freeing the people of Mars. Many of the characters you became attached to in the original, not so in this one. In addition Lori's character was turned into a terminator bent on getting Hauser no matter what. They didn't even include the character Richter played by Michael Ironsides from the original who was Lori's partner and lover and Cohaggen's main thug and important to the movie. Even when the movie tried to vaguely follow the plot from the first movie it turned things around or mixed things up and got it wrong. Such as when Quaid first goes to Recall, they didn't have him invent his dream girl who was the girl literally in his dreams, Melina. Farrell was okay in the part of Hauser/Quaid but Schwarzenegger was superior in the role. He may not be the caliber of actor that Farrell is but he sure was more human and believable in his bewilderment of what was happening to him then Farrell who simply seemed swept up in the events. What I would like to know is why do they remake a great classic science fiction movie when it doesn't really need it? After I watched it I had a strong desire to see the original movie, which I happen to own. So I did.

Noah's Ark (1999)

Writers of This Confused

[1/10 · 25 December 2012]

This is a joke right? I watched this once long ago and forgot that I watched it, so I watched it again. Should have changed the channel.

The huge oversight in the movie, first and foremost is when the writers wrote the screenplay for this, they totally messed up the Lot/Sodom and Gomorrah story. Noah NEVER met Lot.

Sodom and Gomorrah happened long after Noah was gone and the one who saved Lot was Abram later re-named Abraham by the Lord God.

The filmmakers should have read the Bible passages that dealt with Noah. The only thing Noah and his family were responsible for is building the Ark and saving their own family. If you want to see a more accurate and entertaining version of Noah's Ark see the segment contained in the movie "The Bible," released in 1966. That starred the great actor John Huston as Noah who gave a lot of depth, some comedic flare as well as believability to the role of Noah. Plus even the voice of God was more believable.

Another thing the writers left out was that Lot had two daughters that were also saved. Judging from all the reviews I read the majority of people who viewed this movie, thought it was horrible.

All in all this movie was just plain awful. Both in Biblical inaccuracies, acting and the plot. They even had some strange bit in there about Noah and others going mad on the ship which also was inaccurate. So all things considered, I do not recommend this movie.
