Riese (2009–2010)
5/10
Good concept. Stilted acting. SyFy: please no more movies in Canada.
12 October 2012
SyFy, pleeze no more movies from Canada. I realize it is cheaper there, but jeez... The only one who threw himself into the role was Ryan Robbins (and yes, i know he's Canadian). Some of my best friends are from the cold country, but not a whole crew and director...

If the acting and timing wasn't so stilted, this could have been good. I was wanting it to be good. But the wooden acting and directing made it no more than a 5 in my opinion.

Come on, lets hear some passion, some conviction, some life....

Okay, actually, the wolf did a great job.

The flick is worth the time if you are really in to steam punk, or just want to escape to a cold landscape for 80 minutes or so.

Good Dick (2008)
8/10
Just like life, except more human

Warning: Spoilers
*** This review may contain spoilers *** This movie is not about a troubled young woman and a hopeless video guy. It is about any couple who meet and overcome their neuroses enough to be able to get along and open up to each other. Usually people abandon their partner too soon, before the rough edges have been knocked off, and smoothed out enough to become livable.

Yes, it is a story of support, unfailing love, and belief that helped Mariana Palka's character deal with her past, and finally face the present.

But who doesn't carry problems from the past with them? And who's spouse doesn't exhibit issues that arise from childhood challenges.

That's why i love this movie: I can totally relate to it, and like Jason Ritter's character, i know that we can help our spouse as they help us. It takes time, patience, and love, lots of it.

If you are perfect, and have had perfect partners, then you won't understand this movie. However, if you are human, with the usual foibles and have had relationships with other humans, you will find something rewarding about this unusual portrayal of a very usual human condition.
