Fringe: Unearthed (2010)
Unearthed
Interesting episode. But feels like an unaired episode rather then some type of unexplained "alternate reality" episode as they were suggesting it is. For a J.J Abrams show, this show seems have less of the mystery riddles then some other of his creations, i.e, Lost. Lost has this huge cult following with no end in sight of the possibilities of what has happened and what should be. This episode seemed to be exactly what it was. An unaired episode that didn't fit with what we know to be the Fringe universe as of now. Obviously they couldn't air it before for some reason and now could. If it had been some sort of easter egg filled bonus episode, we would have seen subtle differences in the characters and how they interacted with each other. Not to mention how the world looks. Charlie was there acting normal, and that was the ONLY thing that made me say Huh? and watch this ep again.
I think JJ must have multiple people working with him on his other shows and they have abandoned him on this one. This episode could have been amazing if they had just incorporated a few of the things we want to expect of the show. Yes, in the "other alternate universe" Peter doesn't exist there since he was taken to ours. But, obviously the alternate universe theory means there are more then just ours and the other one we have been shown on the show. Maybe we are supposed to assume this possibly takes place in one of those? Maybe I'm just crazy, but I expect more from this show then I get. Don't get me wrong, I love it, I just don't feel like the people writing and directing are giving their all. Hopefully I will be proved wrong soon.
I Know Who Killed Me (2007)
Possibly the worst movie I have seen EVER.
I've seen a few people trying to say this movie is campy and fun. It really did not come off that way to me. Did the editing staff actually attend a school for their profession? This movie had more holes then swiss cheese. The very beginning starts out with Lindsay dancing on the pole. Was it just me or did she look a little high? She looked like the pole was the only thing holding her up. My friend (who went with me for this reason only) remarked, "get right to the point, don't they?" Probably the only time in the movie that they do. The first 1 1/2 drag on. The police/FBI are completely ignorant. They seem to have no idea why they are there or what they are doing. And can someone please tell me why, why does she sit there and tell the police that she doesn't know who did this to her, when she is fully aware that her arm and leg fell off themselves? Hmmm, I don't know about you. But if my arm and leg started falling off by themselves, I would get to a hospital real quick. The whole health insurance thing wouldn't really bother me. And then she goes into that whole thing about "seeing" the killer at the bus stop. Since the killer was holding Aubrey hostage this whole time, was she just hallucinating from those little pills she washed down with the bottle of booze? I also loved how she tried to sew her own finger back on too. Cause you don't need those pesky little veins or tendons. Just the skin. Also, when the police go through all the trouble of doing a DNA match, don't you think they would have found information in the system saying there really was a Dakota? Seeing as how she was actually born in a hospital. And then the whole scene where she "magically" figures out what happened on the internet. And why was Art Bell smoking a cigarette through that whole bit? Then the ending. Dakota NEVER met the piano teacher. How did she automatically know who it was? And why did the FBI never find this link with all the girls, but the one armed/one legged hooker does? So she and the father go to the house. With NO weapons, no police. They somehow know his address and go straight there. Once there, the father goes in. Dakota is hiding for approx. 2 mins, which gives the killer enough time to drain all the blood out of the fathers body and put him on a table in the same room Dakota is hiding in without making a sound. And then after she manages to untie herself and stab the killer, she also "magically knows" exactly where Aubrey is buried. I'm guessing Aubrey had been buried underground for about...oh...maybe 9 hours at this point. And of course she is still breathing. Which brings me to my last question...Neither of them died so why is it called "I Know Who Killed Me?" The final scene where they lie there in the dirt together is just amazing as well. I would think Aubrey would be in need of some medical attention at this point. All in all, this movie should have gone straight to DVD. At least I didn't pay for my ticket.
