Revolution (2012)
Well done
I don't know where all these bad reviews are coming from. I would agree that the show started out slow during season 1. You had to stick with it during the first 4 or 5 episodes. But the show progresses and gets better and better.
Now we are a on season 2 and I think the show is incredible. Charlie is not whining anymore (as I have read here in the comments) but rather kicking some ass. There is also sorts of stuff that techie folks would love, plus non stop action and drama...the bloodiness of it some times reminds me of Game Of Thrones. The show is more realistic, and as of this season, better than the Walking Dead. And yet it has some spectacular stuff here and there that reminds me of Lost.
This is the type of show that I want to keep watching and hope it never gets canceled.
And if you're watching it from the beginning for the first time, just stick with it. I have witnessed people watching episode 1 and then declaring it a "bad show." You can even find instances of "i watched the first two episodes and bla-bla" here in the reviews. If you keep going you'll get hooked. Don't these bad reviews rob you have a chance of getting into a good show.
In the Time of the Butterflies (2001)
Very Disappointed
This movie was poorly made. The story was plane and dull. I have noticed in the past that even if the story is lacking, the direction of the movie came bring it out more; however the director of this movie did not. I'd have to agree with another post on the casting of indigenous people. The movie was filmed in Mexico and almost everyone in the movie was Mexican. One could joke and say, "I didn't know there were that many Mexicans in DR." I'd say its more like, since the Dominicans are either black, white, or somewhere in between (mulattoes)...To have native Indians of AZTEC decent acting as Dominicans in a movie about the regime of Trujillo is as far off as having Japanese people acting as Germans in the regime of Hitler. The story focused too much on Minerva and no one else. This mistake was also very apparent. It is a good real life event in our history that we should know more about. I've noticed that many people who are not Dominican don't know of Trujillo and the horrors he brought to the DR. Someone should really consider making another movie about Minerva and her sisters with a more accurate representation.
