Birds of Prey (2002–2003)
Slick, fun, great cast
3 January 2003
This show has the kind of plot structure that works best for addicting television shows. Like "X-files," "Buffy" and "Angel," the shows mostly focus on a plot that begins and is resolved within the one hour. However, many of these plots lend themselves to the throughplot, a second plot that lasts entire seasons and is basically the bad guy's plan to take over the town. So there's a bit of serial, but not so much that you can't come in mid-season. I don't know what confused the other commentator. The introduction makes everything very clear. There are humans and meta-humans. Meta-humans have '"X" Men' type qualities. Two of our fighting trio are meta-human. Batgirl, who is called "Oracle" now, is just a human.

It's great to see Mia Sara working again, this time as the "bad guy." She's obviously having a lot of fun playing the successor to the Joker and she's a lot of fun to watch. And you gotta give kudos to the network for having an inter-racial romance.

The action scenes are very well done. The wires aren't super obvious, the kicks are quick. I watch very little television as feature films are my main addiction, but this one is getting added to my personal faves. I also recommend The Dead Zone, Gilmore Girls and Alias.

Citizen Kane (1941)
1/10
Wake up everybody! this film is BORing, turgid & unemotional!
3 February 2002
While I admire what they had to go through to get this movie produced, only the stupidly intellectual could call this a great film. Ask yourself: do you really care to find out what happens to Kane? Do you ever identify with the character? Like him? Root for him? Or are you just all caught up in the amazing camera acrobatics? All those people who voted 10, have they ever actually WATCHED the film or are they just doing what their teachers told them to do? I have to wonder. Try watching it at 11pm and see if you're still awake by midnight.
