The Middleman (2008)
The birth of a truly awful show
Well what can I say about this show? one word, awful. This type of show seems to be a staple for ABC family with shows such as Kyle XY etc., The dialogue loosely described as banter between the cast is set at mind boggling speed and must have taken quite a few takes to get right, but this may have been the makers idea of tongue in cheek humour. using men in gorilla suits mixed in with real silver backs is just one example of terrible continuity and belief in the show. What I thought I was about to see was a combination of MiB and Heroes, what I saw was a rip off of 60's avengers sequences, a very poor situation comedy, 2 main characters with no chemistry, unbelievable plot lines, terribly acted from all. I get it that this is ABC family, but who was their target audience? The dialogue is way too fast and difficult for kids and way too childish and unbelievable for adults. Will be very surprised if this makes it past the 13 episode period. Sorry ABC, but D- could and should have done so much better, can I have my 40 minutes back please?
Firewall (2006)
What? not another British bad guy
As far a thrillers go, this was a good one, but couldn't wait to hear the accent of the bad guy and quite frankly I wasn't surprised to find that he was British, well what a surprise Hollywood you never fail to puke up the usual "all the good guys are American and all the bad guys are British" is it any wonder the people of America are so brainwashed and have no real inkling of world affairs. strange isn't it that the good guys or Hollywood "hero" come from the land of the free and the land of the brave which also has one of if not the biggest murder rate in the world and the "bad guy" the Brit comes from a country with a very low murder rate....... food for thought hey? isn't it time Hollywood forgave the British for once enslaving its nation? which when you come to think of it is one of Americas closest allies. or is it a case of American foreign policy is so screwed up at the moment that it is easier to stick to the usual nonsense and not use a french or German bad guy, but then most Americans think France and Germany is in Africa?
