TV Show Rating

Iconic British cult adventure series. Very few shows change as much as The Avengers did over its seven season run; what started off as a gritty thriller about Ian Hendry's crime-busting doctor gradually transformed first into virtual science fiction (the Diana Rigg episodes feature mind-swapping machines, killer robots and a brain-controlling alien plant) and then a much more whimsical fantasy show for its final year or so.

Many of the early episodes are quite hard work now, but the two seasons where Macnee is paired with Diana Rigg are classic TV, and the sometimes-maligned final season with Linda Thorson also contains many neglected gems (the episode with the murderous clowns, for instance). Even when the show is not quite firing on all cylinders, there is always Patrick Macnee's inimitable performance as Steed to enjoy.

One of my new faves

I loved one of us is lying
I had to buy it when I saw it was like the breakfast club which is obviously a cult classic...
I didnt want to stop reading it.. at first I was getting confused with all the character changes but its not hard to get me confused lol... The character growth was very well done I enjoyed how they evolved into the people they are supposed to be it was full of twists that i didnt see coming even though i did predict who it was I was still suprised with the way it was all planned out. I usually hate endings of good books because they usually end disastifyingly but i was happy with the ending..... I recommend this book to anyone who loves twists and whodunnit stories.

If I was rating it on the first three seasons it would get a 10 (0 more)

The move to Netflix pretty much destroyed this show. (0 more)

Arrested Development was a beautiful cult television right up until it was picked up by Netflix. It is dry, witty comedy and hosts some of the best one liners in TV history.

Tobias Funke is quite possibly my spirit animal.

However season 4 was filmed differently as the cast all had commitments when they came back together. Even though the directors recut this to make it similar to the others (which improved it considerably) the plot still didn't hold up to the rest of the previous seasons.

By season 5 it was just a mess. The cast look tired and the aftermath of that awful New York Times article can be felt.

Just watch the first three seasons guys.

The Ring's Grudge

Unlike the first one, this one is bad. It is really different from the first one and thats really effects this movie from the first one. The first one was really horrorfying and terrorfying. This one was not the scary. I mean their were some scary sences, but overall it was not that scary. So whats the plot....

Sequel to the cult horror about a videotape that brings death to anyone who watches it. The journalist from the original film destroys the tape but is pursued by the demon that cursed it and who now wants to possess her son. The Japanese director of the original directs this sequel.

It is confusing, it really doesnt make any sense, really throws everything out that the first one had and just comes out with a awful movie.
