Linkshoch Wonderful Movie

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

nitz_04 I consider myself a clever fellow. I have studied history for over 10 years. And it is sad that when I watch this show it means jack squat.The rules are straight forward. The questions are simple but complex. If you were ever a fan of Titus? This show is up your alley. The host is quick witted and he knows his stuff too. There was a few references to his break through performance "Norman Rockwell is bleeding" but it was very subtle in the questions of a few episodes. Rick, Corey, Chumlee work well in this scenario. Also it's fun seeing Rick's face when they are losing. Some of the items have more sentimental value than cash value and too me that makes this show interesting.If you like history? Artifacts? Fun questions? This show is for you.Great to see diversity from the History Channel.

glynne41 I've enjoyed Pawn Stars over the years, though the last two seasons have been less interesting, as the jokes are redundant and it gets tiring watching the same infighting, as humorous as they attempt to make it. The original beauty of the program was to watch what happened between the customers and the staff, not listen to the family and Chumlee constantly berating each other. It isn't funny any more. So it is, this new show is not funny either. It's a very complicated game, and most of the prizes are so odd that no one would want them any way. But the worst part is that it just isn't interesting. It's like watching a group of bored people playing a game that even they don't like.How about getting back to basics? Give the old show a much needed new direction. Forget the new show. How about acknowledging the new and healthy weight losses that some cast members are achieving? How about a little background on how they have all gotten to where they are today? How about giving other staff members some exposure. The show needs a deep infusion of new ideas. Obviously, these are great business people who have achieved a lot in their lives. They cannot be as boring as this show makes them appear. Change direction before your audience drops off to much less than these talented people deserve. Please! I actually like these people. I know they deserve better.

atlasmb Two one-half hour episodes of "Pawnography" have aired on the History Channel so far. It is one of the most complex game shows ever to air. This is how it works: In Round One, two contestants face Corey and Chumlee (from the show "Pawn Stars") in answering multiple-choice trivia questions worth $100 each. They also play for a item from the "personal collection" of Rick Harrison, star of "Pawn Stars". (Actually, they don't win these items or dollars, they bank them, hoping to win them later.) Some questions may be related to the item they are battling for. If a contestant wins this round, he banks the collectible item. If the "Pawn Stars" duo wins this round, the item goes back to Rick.In between Rounds One and Two, the two contestants get a shot to bank $150 by correctly answering a multiple-choice trivia question.In Round Two, the contestants square off against Rick for $200 per question and a shot at another collectible item. At the end of this round, the contestant with the lower score is dismissed. The remaining contestant faces all three Pawn Stars for all the cash he has banked plus the collectibles he has banked plus another collectible item. One item they played for was an early pinball game valued at $7,000.In Round Three, the three Pawn Stars wait in a soundproof booth while the contestant tries to answer ten questions in 60 seconds. Viewers can see how many are answered correctly, but the contestant is not told. Then Rick and his two minions try to answer the same questions while the contestant is in the booth.Before the players are told how they scored, the host (Christopher Titus) lets them negotiate with each other. Rick, based upon how well he thinks he did and how well he thinks the contestant did, offers the contestant a dollar amount to walk away from the banked items. I should mention that Rick is a formidable opponent when it comes to trivia, especially when it relates to history or collectibles. He is not Mark Labbett ("The Beast" on the gameshow "The Chase"), but he should not be underestimated. If he feels he outscored the contestant, he will offer a small amount. The contestant will, like all negotiators, try to bluff and ask for amounts closer to what the collectible items are actually worth. If an agreed price is negotiated, that is the amount the contestant wins. If an agreed price is not negotiated, the actual scores for Round Three are revealed and winner takes all. (Yes, the contestant may walk away without any winnings.) If there is a tie, the contestant prevails.As you can see, this is a traditional trivia game show mixed with an element of negotiation--a staple on the "Pawn Stars" show. The show is punctuated with humor from the host and from the Pawn Stars, usually in the form of zingers.If you like trivia or the personalities of the Pawn Stars guys, you may like this show. You might also learn some history or pick up some knowledge about collectibles.

alydar21 Are you kidding me? Do these guys need to suck every penny they can from their fame before petering out? We all know that you are multi - millionaires already. Viewers have followed your family through several successful seasons and enjoyed the various parade of 'experts' brought in to enhance our interest in your field of endeavor.Always thought Corey was the worst and most disrespectful member of this cast, but his dad Rick, comes across as a sincere lowlife when he raises his arms after answering a question correctly.My respect for this family has dropped to zero after watching this atrocious drivel. Thank goodness the 'old man' didn't participate.If this was the only show on TV, I would check myself into Hospice and beg for a quick end.
