Anyone who’s going to take on the entire Russian mafia for the killing of a puppy is alright in my book. Having said that , the film is definitely overrated. It has to be. Problem1, John wick sleeps in a glass house. Not plexy glass. 2, No saferoom.3, No security system.4, he’s this lean mean fighting machine ,4a, he’s surprised in the night and then 5, gets beaten up. Non of that goes to character, as he then takes out the Russian mob single-handedly. Maybe the last part could be chalked up to artistic licence but that’s it. The director should only get one get out of jail card free card. Frankly I found the violence cartoonish and boring after awhile. And as for the sequal, I turned it off after 5 minutes.

How could you not love this series, especially if you started watching it at age 7? It helped me get through grade 3. I had a horrible teacher who was mentally unstable in retrospect. Let’s just say she anger management issues. Anyway, I always had something to look forward to. I’d come home for lunch, plop down in front of the tube and watch another episode.

Every frame I was riveted. Watching the series in prime time, it was painfull when the episode came to an end. Interesting choices the producers made. The actors who were in the Kids of Degrassi series, played, for the most part anyway, different characters in the junior high instalment.

My favourite T.V show of all time. Aw the memories. Friday night I’d go up to the rink, maybe get in a pick up game, go to the local store and pick up a 26er( in those days) of 7 up and watch it in my room in the dark on our old black and white .

I still found it worth watching as an adult( theoretically anyway) unlike lost in space . Did anyone else have the Land of the giant’s model?

Two stars in retrospect. As a kid I wanted to be three things, Terry Lafrong, The Monkees and Will Robinson. I thought he was so cool. Neat coincidence . The Space channel when it existed, when it first aired the series, the date was October 27rh 1997. The same( I think) launch date as in the T.V series. .

I’ve given it four stars even if I stopped watching after the sixth episode . At that point I lost the plot. It’s probably just me.Maybe you only need an average average I.Q to keep track.

Just finished episode one. Kinda dull . The cinematography doesnt help. I hate that washed out look. At least I can follow the plot… so far. I may or may not watch the next episode in that case.And even if I can’t, as long as there’s a site I can go to that explains it, it’s a possibility. I do wish to end on a positive note, J.K Simmons acting is suburb, playing both sides of the fence so to speak.

Almost a perfect movie for its type.There’s massive setups and payoffs to site one example.. The only real flaw( and you almost have to go looking for it) is when Chris, Sarah, Brad and Darrel end up in emergency with Handsome John Pruit whos escaped from the bk of the police car.. Since the police were involved, the car - Chrisis moms,would have been impounded as evidence , putting an end to Object of Desire 1, retrieving Chris’s neurotic best friend,Brenda, from the Chicago d.T bus station. It’s interesting don’t you think, how it’s similar and dissimilar at the same time to Ferris Buelers day off?. Roger Ebert called it Ferris sisters day off or something. Did you notice at the end when the super hot guy pulls up in the Anderson drive way to return Sarah’s roller skate( it has her name tag) and then they- Chris that is, kiss ? The guys timing has to be impeccable otherwise defeat is wrestled from the jaws of victory. He returns the skate to Mrs. Anderson instead.Gulp! Double gulp… potentially. If Chris hadn’t stumbled across Mike D$&Kwell I call him, with his flush at the fancy French restaurant, if they only made one more stop to pick up Brenda, what do you think might have happened? Either the chief villain grabs em then and there. Or, he follows them home , waits for his oportunity, and scrapes off all their faces. You think?

Rewatching it. First episode not as good as I first thought. Often happens though. Disappointed as no little people are even semi regulars. They’re referenced but no cigar.It’s about time don’t you think? Currantly, the only little person ‘ active on prime time telly is the character from game of thrones. True , there was ‘mighty mouth’ from law and order I believe. Prior to that you need to go bk to the fifty’s with Bill Barty who played a wise cracking regular on a variety show of sorts. He also did cameos on the Walton’s and little house among others. If they’re ever going to do a t.V reboot of little house, his character- Mr. Bate the bank teller( only one episode mind you) would be a great addition. I’m looking forward to rewatching the bk story elements. Never in my opinion has a t.V show done it so superbly. It might just be the best part of the show.
