Cast
Characters and their backstories- huge variety
Each episode focuses on a different character
Smart, well-cast and refreshing series, you're bound to love at least one of the characters. Made it to my top 3 series, can't wait for the next season

Funny but without actually trying to be funny, each character is widely different from the other. Sam and Coco are polar opposites,Sam is an activists and constantly aims to prove that she is 'black-enough' even though she's dating a white guy, whereas Coco tries to break away from all the stereotypes associated with her complexion by opting to associate herself with just white friends (Coco and The Marshmallows). I loved the series because it covered pretty much every background possibly, ended up binge watching it over 2 days!

Intelligent, diverse, well made series
I wasn't sure what to expect from a college related series, as I'm usually sceptical of that scene, however I was pleasantly surprised by this show. The cast is smart, the dialogue is intelligent, the content is noteworthy and the production is high-end.
Sam, the feisty radio host of Dear White People and activist on campus, is one of the main characters, split between six others, showcasing an array of diverse voices and talent. The name is self-explanatory but all I can say it begins on the premise of a "blackface" party held by some of the white students on site. It is horrifying, but it is current and highlights racial tensions in America today.
From gay black characters, to interracial relationships - there is a plethora of storylines weaved into each episode. Fantastic series.

Awakened.
A Decent season but not one of the best
I liked this season of charmed but in comparison to season one and three its my least favorite of the original trio of sisters I did however really enjoy H20 all over again this is a great episode on many levels it tackles the girls losing there mom and also introduces Sam the fallen white lighter who is a great character throughout the series. It also made it possible for us to know whitelighter's can break the rules which happens a couple of episodes later in Awakened when Leo breaks them for Piper which is another great episode of this season

Great character growth for side movie characters

I love the series of sam being captain america of what it takes for the legend also to be a influence in these modern times. Doing the show and touching political topics without being heavy awesome. The character john walker was excellent and showing what can happen living up to a legend. The incident with the bloody shield was kinda just tossed away coulda done more. Also sharon carter being power broker because she didn't get a pardon, yes she could have. Didn't like it. Awesome series

Erika (17789 KP) rated Gentlemen Broncos (2009) in Movies
Jan 19, 2018
This movie will definitely not be for everyone. It's along the same lines as Napoleon Dynamite (same director), so it's incredibly awkward at some points. Benjamin is an aspiring writer, whose mother tries to get him to make friends with Dusty (Mike White), and let's him go to a writing seminar. At this writing seminar, he meets his favorite author, Chevalier (Jemaine Clement), and turns in his story about Bronco to be judged to win a competition. Chevalier needs a story, so he takes Benjamin's story, changes some things (Bronco to Brutus), and publishes it as his own.
Benjamin, of course, isn't aware of this, and he let's his friend, Lonnie, make a completely awful movie based on the story. After the premiere of this awful movie, Benjamin picks up Chevalier's new book, and realizes he stole his story.
Bronco/Brutus is played by Sam Rockwell. Rockwell does an amazing job in both the roles of Bronco and Brutus.
The whole movie is hilariously awkward.
