Great horror thriller about Jigsaw who chooses "unworthy" people not appreciating their lives (like drug addicts) and gives them 2 choices: die or make a major sacrifice (like cutting of your leg, slicing up the belly of an innocent, etc.). He communicates with his victims via video tapes. Very cool ending and great plot-twists!
I feel that the people behind The Office did not quite know where to go after Steve Carell as Michael Scott left, but still they managed to put together a lot of hilarious episodes! So I have to agree with what Brendyn wrote: the episodes individually were mostly fantastic, but the season as a whole just felt a little weird.
However, I am definitively going to watch the last 9th season!
Wow! After the only mediocre to good 1st and the really good 2nd season, this 3rd season is the best so far!!! I can only hope that they keep up the good work for the coming seasons...
This is the last season featuring Michael Scott / Steve Carell. It is still going strong which I find amazing considering that this is the 7th year they managed to make episodes about the day to day life in an office fun, witty and so enjoyable. Looking forward to see how they tackled the new boss scenario!
I'm very happy about not having given up on "The Office" after some mediocre episodes in season 1, because this second season is not only better overall but there is also not a single bad episodes. Additionally, I get to like the characters / actors more and more: while I normally do not like Steve Carell because I do not find him funny but quite a douche-bag, he is the perfect cast for Michael, a not-funny-at-all douche-bag boss!
A little too much romance and there could be some more action. But beside that it's a good movie that wants to convey the message "With great power there comes great responsibility" (which it does certainly, and quite well IMHO)!
And I actually enjoyed this flick even more watching it the second time!
The movie offers a lot of room for speculation and is sometimes very strange but also very compelling.
Highly entertaining flick with a lot of suspense and plot twists along the lines of Nolan's "Memento" make Prestige a great movie! Mainly the double-crossing of the "Transported Man" trick is a superb idea: while Borden only uses a (perfect) double / assistant (which has to cut off some of his fingers to be as identical as Borden himself as possible), Angier uses a machine to clone himself, which forces him to kill his "double" after every performance of the trick. This leads to the situation that both magicians are not only incapable of finding out how the rival does the trick but also to the fact that in the end both die because of the repercussions of the trick: Borden is (falsely) accused of killing Angier (after the death of one of Angier's clones is blamed on Borden) and hanged for the crime while Angier is shot by Borden's assistant / double as the only means to save the Borden's daughter from being raised by Angier.
One of the few prequels I know that surpasses the original! Very entertaining & with a great message: "Sometimes you have to give up your dreams for the greater good".
Cool horror thriller that never gets boring!
One of the best horror films I know: thrilling, brutal, fast and unpredictable!
Superb horror thriller with a great cast!
This is the 3rd part of the "Alien" saga and I like it a lot. In my opinion it is better than the second part (contrary to almost everybody else's opinion). Why? Because it brings back the horror of "Alien" and drops the unnecessary action-overdose of "Aliens".
After Big Bang, Scrubs and Friends the best sitcom I know and another great example for why a laughter track is absolutely no requirement for realizing an outstanding sitcom! I can only recommend this series!
One of the best first seasons of a TV series I know. I think my favorite episodes are "Squeeze" (No. 3), "Ice" (No. 8) and "The Erlenmeyer Flask" (No. 24).
Superb suspense movie (I wouldn't call it a horror flick!) with a great plot twist and ending!
One of the best and scariest horror movies. Highly recommendable!
One of, if not THE best, old-school horror flick! Every horror movie buff has to watch Halloween, even though it looks a little outdated today. The score however passes the test of time, its a perfect match for the movie and still gives me goosebumps.
I think this is John Carpenter's best (horror) movie, which is sad, because if he could have repeated what he did with the original Halloween movie, I would have loved his later horror flicks, too!
During this last season the fact that for the position of "The Boss" no permanent solution was found, gets a little annoying: we had this scenario in Season 8 already. IMHO this was the reason for some of the weaker episodes.
However, overall this is another great season and especially the awesome Finale made me sad that it is all over now. I think the last episode is one of the best episodes of a sitcom I have ever seen!!!
So this leaves me with the final rating of the whole show I guess: while it cannot quite reach the brilliance of Friends, Scrubs or Big Bang Theory IMHO, The Office is definitively one of my all-time favorite sitcoms.
Still loving it! It cannot put the finger down why it is funny, but it just is! Excluding the first season, I would say that this series is among the best ones every made: while not quite on par with Friends, Scrubs or Big Bang Theory, I would definitively name it along such great shows as Modern Family, Seinfeld or Two and a Half Men.
When beginning to watch "The Office" I was skeptical if a sitcom about some boring office guys doing boring office jobs could be fun for more than 1 or 2 seasons. But after watch season 4 I stand corrected: it is still hilarious and there seems to be no end in sight!
I enjoyed "Joey" very and therefore have to disagree with a lot of people who compare it to "Friends" and were disappointed. I think Joey is a very funny sitcom and you should give it a try if you like sitcoms along the line of Friends.
Still very enjoyable, still very brutal, still intriguing and I am craving for more!
Very intriguing movie about a man with a split personality. A doctor tries to heal him by killing every of his personalities except one. So that in the end only one personality would be left. But it doesn't work out as planed...
The Wax House is a very cool idea for letting people disappear. Rather brutal and gory. I seem to be one of the few you really enjoyed it, but hey, who cares? Everybody as he / she likes, right?!
Wow, just wow! After 4 seasons still great, that deserves my admiration!
Still very enjoyable, still very brutal, still intriguing and I am craving for more!
I'm still loving it: very intense, plausible characters, nice ideas and plot twist. One of the best series I know!
3rd season and still very strong! Keep up the good work!!!
Jack Nicholson is hilarious! I think "As good as it gets" is the best "Drama" I know.
