GCB (2012)
Desperate housewives type of show but with more humour and happier atmospheres
This show shoves religion down your throat and is not considerate of any other religion at all. you would see it's rating go up if their was more tolerance and less religion. Religion appears in a lot of shows and movies but this was just constant and women being put down by men all the time. If the show lessened up on that stone age type of behaviour i think the ratings would be closer to where they should be for this show instead of so low. That being said there is some humour in this show and some good acting. The stories can be a bit dull and never exactly hit home as they are the rich people of Dallas but the humour the show bring alleviates that a bit. I rate it mediocre the kind of show you watch if there is nothing else on.
The Shrine (2010)
Typical
While i was impressed with what these film makers could do with such a low budget, it all goes out the window when i figured out that they follow the typical and overused annoyances that often ruin a good horror movie. They of course make it so that everything is the fault of some power hungry woman as her boyfriend tries to reason...yeah gee never seen this before, same old same old lets make the woman like every other woman in a horror flick. Then they use the "hmmm were in danger but lets keep getting into trouble anyways because i am curious!" UGH that was so frustrating. Then they use the "oh no were in trouble because weird things keep happening but lets split up anyways, but then all go after each other so we actually could've stayed as a group to check out the scary circumstances." how about when you just barely escape danger and have to run...most people would keep running no matter what because their lives depend on it right? and if you have ever been in that situation you know you keep running! most of us have had a scare before. But of course lets all stop to have a nervous breakdown instead of running from what we just narrowly escaped! Basically the movie made it seem that people were less intelligent than cats. As for scares go the movie is not that scary but they successfully pull off a short spooky scene near the beginning dealing with the paranormal but then it dies right down. I applaud horror movies that think outside the box and decide against going with the typical...this however was typical. Its refreshing when every once and awhile a horror film is produced with none of the annoyances :omg I'm scared let me run and fall down and get caught, how about i cry really loud and get caught?,how about i check the freaky noise upstairs by myself and get caught?, how about i check my cell phone and call for help ..oh wait i have no bars because apparently judging by movies cell phones just never work in north America. And the list goes on, you can have suspense without moronic behaviour.
