On the Air. Unaware.

"On the Air. Unaware".

Peter Weir's incredibly prescient satire drama (released, as it was, even pre Big Brother), in which Jim Carrey shows he can actually act, by putting in - for me - what is probably his best performance as Truman Burbank, the unwitting and unknowing star of a 24/7 reality TV show that is now in its 30th year and that is viewed by millions around the globe.

In effect, a bit of an update on the old Descartes 'how do we know what is real?' question: as far as Truman is concerned, this *is* reality, until a series of accidents and events leads him to start to question everything and everyone in his life, leading to the emotional finale (does he ever meet the girl again? What comes next for the world's most recognizable man?).

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2165 KP) rated The Homicide Hustle: A Ballroom Dance Mystery in Books

Mar 9, 2018

The reality TV competition Ballroom with the B-Listers has hit DC, and Graysin Motion is one of the featured studios. But when one of the show's producers dies, Stacy begins digging around to find the killer. The characters and plot are a little light even for a cozy, but the story comes together well at the end. Anyone with an interest in ballroom dance will certainly enjoy it.

Very weak story (1 more)

Not much of a horror or scifi

Let's not bother

Well only tried this out as recognised the actress who plays Tiggs was popular on UK TV. It's a very low budget film. Set in an advanced facility with advanced Ai and augmented reality specs. It's all a bit vague as to why the kids are there, what they are learning. Very quickly turns into people just running down dark corridors, air vents trying to escape the evil kids. A poor ending which was quite predictable caps it off.
