Ghostwriter (1992)
Above the rest
I remember when I was young watching this on PBS. It wasn't the same sparkled shows meant for the demographic. With a little rewritting, it could have easily made it in primetime (don't flame me for it, with a budget and better direction, along with some slightly more mature storys, it could survive). The stories were fairly good, but a little aged by today's standards (the one with the whole hackers thing).
It even seemed like a sub-plot between plots was forming with that rob person, if I remeber right that is, in the middle of its run, but thats just me. There was so much more potential with it, like wtf is ghostwriter (beyond the little summary it gives). Another thing is, the characters had more depth then most children show charaters. I sure miss the show (watched on noggin when I got it, o well).
A notch above the rest
Signs (2002)
Umm...
Well at first the movie seemed good. Something strange was going on, what could it be, and so forth. Then the aliens started coming, ok still good. Then they started bording up and everything started reminding me of the birds (the book, havent saw the movie yet). Then they woke up. Sure the movie has had some huge plot holes from that start (They can fly to earth in a space ship, but cant get though a jammed door or a sack of dog food?) but that water is their achilles heel? Why take a place covered in water, the air alone is full of water. There are just to many plot holes to make this movie work. Maybe if they all lost in the end and dumped the whole faith thing or something, that and made it scary. If it wasnt for it was PPV, I would have went and done something else.
