Titles You’ve Reviewed

  • TV: The Unusuals

    I rate this titleiffyand give it2.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language

      Not for any viewers, but especially not younger audiences

      I've been very disappointed in MANY ABC shows lately and The Unusuals isn't any exception. The stories generally have great potential to be fun and interesting but the language, violence and adult ...

    • DVD: Valkyrie

      I rate this titleonand give it5.0

      Great, moving film

      I found Valkyrie to be very interesting and gripping. As a history buff, I knew some of the details of the actual plot, but I still found the movie very great. The movie does a great job of ...

    • Book: Inkspell: Inheart Trilogy, Book 2

      I rate this titleonand give it3.0

      Takes forever, but is an interesting perspective on the literary world

      I've grown up reading an incredibly wide variety of literature and received these books for my birthday from a friend. The books are good, but the descriptive narrative is reminiscent of Hawthorne's ...

    • TV: Psych

      I rate this titleonand give it5.0

      Easily one of the best shows on television

      Psych is HILARIOUS and amazing. The two main characters work great together and add intelligent, comedic elements to the show. All of the supporting characters have great chemistry with the dynamic ...

    • TV: Pushing Daisies

      I rate this titleonand give it5.0

      One of the best shows out there!

      I LOVE Pushing Daisies!! The sets and props and costumes are so imaginative and colorful. The story lines are so funny and incorporate some of the most creative and smart tv I've seen in a long time. ...

    • TV: Fringe

      I rate this titleonand give it4.0

      Getting frustrating, but good for a shocking thrill

      I really did not think the show was going to appeal to me, but friends and family were saying it was great, so I gave it a shot. It was originally very interesting and intriguing, and each episode is ...

    • TV: Life on Mars (U.S.)

      I rate this titleonand give it5.0

      Intriguing and funny

      I really enjoy watching this show because it involves topics and ideas that would seem completely ludicrous now, but were acceptable in the times, which makes you think about how the world and ...

    • Music: Jonas Brothers

      I rate this titleonand give it5.0

      Surprising Music

      I was truly expecting to find their cd sappy and ridiculous. There are definitely a few of those songs, but I was very surprised by the variety of musical themes incorporated into the songs. I'd ...

    • DVD: The Fountain

      I rate this titleiffyand give it0.0

      Very different...

      I really wanted to understand the movie, as well as see Hugh Jackman in a new type of role. However, I got extremely confused after a short time. I would re-watch parts and tried to really understand ...

    • DVD: Blades of Glory

      I rate this titleoffand give it0.0

      Severly Disappointed

      I knew the movie was going to be goofy prior to seeing it, but I was incredibly disappointed in the content. I watched this with my 3 teenage siblings and mom and every single one of us was ...

    • DVD: Catch and Release

      I rate this titleiffyand give it2.0

      Rather boring, unnecessary content

      I was rather expecting your typical chick-flick, something reminiscent of 13 Going on 30. I was surprised in the sadness and adult content in the film. Both my roommate and I kept saying things like ...

    • Music: Lights and Sounds

      I rate this titleonand give it4.0

      Interesting and nothing held back

      At first listening, some of the songs made me a bit apprehensive, especially after seeing Yellowcard in concert (which seemed to be an hour+ rant about politics), but after spending some quality ...
