Gravity (2013)
Absolute garbage
No character development and you are supposed to empathy? My god, no real story at all. Highly technical but so is Star Wars and Star Trek but you won't see any of those true classics nominated for best picture anytime soon. Bullock huffs and puffs. Looks fairly good. The only real comparison I can think of is the Tom Hanks Apollo 13 masterpiece and an older version known as Marooned. Both light years beyond this dribble. Must be a lean year in the movie industry to have this garbage nominated for best picture. Another clunker for the Clooney camp. Can anyone remember Solaris? Bad. Bad. Bad. Dear God this was BAD! Please do not win this Oscar!
Dads (2013)
I think I am going to give this show a chance!
First let me say that I am a huge fan of Macfarlane's Family Guy. Maybe I am a bit tainted but frankly I think that I would like to give this show a bit of a lead and watch a few more episodes. It is obvious that many of the bad reviews posted were the result of the pilot episode. I watched that episode as well and was more than a bit underwhelmed. However, I just finished watching episode 5 and am having a hard time coming down! That episode was hysterical!. I didn't have the opportunity to watch episodes 2 thru 4 thinking I wasn't missing much but now I will use my "On Demand" and get caught up in a hurry. The first thing that struck me was the announcement at the top of the show that it was filmed in front of a live audience. Secondly, MacFarlane's humor was quite evident. This episode could have easily been transposed to a very funny Family Guy moment! Perhaps Seth found it necessary to make his presence known a bit more? Perhaps not? But in any event, I do look forward to getting caught up. If only to see if episode 5 was a fluke!
