Everything's Relative (1999)
Hilarious show canceled after 2 or 3 episodes
I loved this show but it was given zero chance. It ran a couple of times and that was it. There were great characters and interlocking plots kind of like Sienfeld. The main character was a comedy writer, but the focus was on his dealings with his parents and brother. His brother was a dentist, his mother was sweat and clueless seaming, but actually very smart. Jeffrey Tambor was great as the father. Similar to his role on Arrested Development, but not a criminal. If you ever get a chance to see it, it will make you depressed at the state of television today, where great comedies are given no chance to find an audience, but star driven shows with no wit or style get all the attention and dollars and air time. Please somebody put it on YouTube!
The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D (2005)
This is a fun movie for 8 & under kids
The criticisms of this movie are ridiculous. It is not made for adults. Many of the best kid's movies are also fun for adults, but this is not one of those. The acting is a little stiff, the dialog is silly, and the special effects are uneven. But young kids won't care. The story is about and for kids. My 7 year old boy and 4.5 year old girl really like it. (It would probably be to scary for under 6's to watch without a parent).
I was able to enjoy watching it with my children on a rainy Saturday morning, but mostly because of their joy at the wild visuals and weird environments.
So, if your an adult who is a fan of animation, special effects or sci-fi, please give this movie a pass.
