meltingpot soul

I LOVE this show and is one of my top favorite sitcoms along with 30 rock, the office, parks and rec and married with children. I'm surprised to see so many people dislike Nick because him and his cynicism is my favorite character. The guys and their dynamic/chemistry is actually the best part of the show, better than the other actually romantic relationships. When they built a blanket fort and sang "I wanna know what love is", the best. To be honest I do agree with other reviewers that Jess is super annoying. I think I realize this somewhere around Season 2. By the time her and Nick get together shes super controlling of the relationship and I pretty much stop liking her at that point. As seasons progress I guess her real personality of being judgmental and a know it all is super apparent by Season 4. I loved Season 1 Jess who was more awkward and light hearted, couldn't stand her by the end and enjoyed the polar opposite character of Megan Fox's Regan joining. I also liked a lot of the secondary characters I wish got more time. I actually love Principal Foster and the school staff scenes. The principal was another cynical opposite to Jess' eternal optimism and it was great comedy. I also loved the ditzy nurse though I could be biased because I loved her in Parks and Rec. Outside Dave is a major fave but again biased, I mean cmon its Steve Agee. Although I can understand the concerns of prejudice, with Nadia's character Cece's roommate. Another props goes out to the soundtrack, often at the bar playing in the background. Where have all the cowboys gone by Paula Cole, not sure I've ever heard that ever on another show. Black velvet by Alannah Myles. The show should have done more of nostalgic jams integrated, they did a great job in Season 1 but then it became less of an occurrence. All in all, love this show and enjoy revisiting.

Hands down one of my most favorite sitcoms. I like to compare it to the others of its time and that are similar - like Parks and Rec which I think has way easier jokes and not as clever writing. Or the Office which 30 rock somehow manages to be even zanier. I would say its most similar to Arrested Development, especially with the hilarious theme songs from Tina Fey's composer husband which reminds of AD and songs like motherboy. Every episode is JAM packed with one liners and story arcs that make rewatching the show even better. Tracy Mo is perfect in his delivery and his wild antics are hilarious, Jack McBrayer and his naive facial expressions are the hysterical, but the absolute best somehow is Alec Baldwin, no matter how much you may not like him - he is a phenomenal actor and his delivery is on another level. His chemistry with Salma Hayek whatttt! Lastly all I'll say is watch Queen of Jordan. Why is this not a spin off yet?!

I know it's a terrible description but it was a cute movie. I was like the other reviewers who listed that the ending was a bit abrupt, a bit disappointed and definitely thought - thats it? I think the idea was because the directors/producers are planning to make a sequel or even further which means the ending is slightly puzzling and open ended. I did find that the movie overall lacked in depth but maybe it was just trying to lay down the groundwork. Its clearly supposed to be a quirky movie which I thought Millie Bobby Brown fit perfectly, shes still very young and doesn't hit every emotion but I still thought she was great. Henry Cavil, although a small role, was a fantastic Sherlock, so charismatic and charming yet slightly aloof. A version of Sherlock I adored but I am also biased as I love him. I think the next movie needs more Helena bonham Carter, she is the quintessential actor for a complicated character with intelligence, strength and oddities. Didn't mean to make this so long! All in all, its definitely worth watching, I did not find it boring at all, though I was more curious to the mother story line than the young boy assassination story. Look forward to a sequel~
