Miss Castaway and the Island Girls (2004 TV Movie)

Spoof everything! Even the spoofers!

[7/10 · 3 January 2009]

I don't understand why this movie has such a low rating. It totally deserves more! Sure, it's completely ridiculous, but that's what it was supposed to be. Don't expect cinematic transcendence from a movie about beauty pageant contestants stranded on a Caribbean island! What you should expect is a huge spoof of pretty much every relevant sci-fi, fantasy and block-buster movie in cinematic history, and even references to other spoofers. All completely exaggerated and sometimes totally unnecessary, but that's exactly what makes this movie stand out. If you like parodies, and enjoy say, Leslie Nielsen or Mike Myers, you're gonna love this. I sure did!

All-in-one value pack - everything you need in a TV show !

[8/10 · 17 October 2007]

So, we've got drama, romance, lawyers, planes, ships, action, detective work, some CSI and just a tad of comedy. It's like ten different shows packed in one! Sure, many shows feature some of this elements, but I can't remember any that has them all. So whatever your preferences are when it comes to TV shows, you will find something you'll like, and there's a good chance it's going to be better than a show that deals only with few of the above-mentioned things.

JAG doesn't hold you to the screen with short cuts, hyperactive camera or speedy dialogs, it doesn't rely on fancy photography or cool special effects, it doesn't try to make you watch just for attractive characters (altough it could :-p). What you get from JAG is content - characters, cases, long story arcs... Each episode offers an eclectic variety of topics to discuss by the water cooler :).

What more can you wish for?
