I can't imagine what kind of show the first reviewer on here likes, but I watched Windfall and was hooked immediately. It is no train wreck - it simply has many story lines for a variety of colorful characters. There is humor and drama. After each of the first two shows, I couldn't wait till the next one to see what would happen. Everyone I know who's watched this is also hooked on it. And I think the acting is fine - perhaps the critics could show the credentials that qualify them to criticize this great ensemble group. Also - there's no way they used Luke "Dylan" Perry from 90210 to get viewers. The only reason I tuned in was for Jason Gedrick, who is a far bigger star than anyone else, including Luke, although he didn't star in a television show that was watched by millions of adolescents. I will continue to watch it for all the other characters, as well. The fact that everyone else is unknown is just one more refreshing reason to watch and enjoy this show. NO ONE gets excessive screen time over anyone else. It is a show about many characters and many stories.

The Libertine
(2004)
Purely Awful
31 March 2006
I cannot imagine a worse film. Thick accents you couldn't understand, gravelly cinematography, hard-to-understand plot, pointless obscenity. OK, maybe the point was to portray this guy's life of debauchery, but who cares? Who really wants or needs to see this? It also seemed an over-indulgence on Johnny Depp's part, as he appears to be jumping on the Hollywood bandwagon of showing oneself on screen in the worst possible light - the Uglification of the Stars. How cool. Oscar, anyone? I ended up daydreaming about Mark Ruffalo throughout most of the film, and my aunt actually walked out with 20 minutes or so left, saying she knew what was coming, and "all it was gonna do was get worse." Again - a total, ghastly mess, and definitely the worst movie I have ever seen.
