Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
ZinQ Should NEVER have been cancelled. I loved every minute.
horn34-1 The Dresden Files is an epic set of fantasy novels written by Jim Butcher, chronicling the life and adventures of a wizard for hire in Chicago named Harry Dresden. There is also a TV show with the same name. Do you remember "Murder, She Wrote", "Matlock" and "T.J. Hooker"? The producers of The Dresden Files sure do. They rounded up all the writers from those shows that had been let go for incompetence. Those writers were hired to script "The Dresden Files". The writers were told each episode had a budget of $183 and to write accordingly. The result is this awful, terrible excuse for a sci-fi/fantasy television show. It is an insult to Jim Butcher and fans of the books. Do yourself a favor: read the books and never, ever watch even a second of this show.
bigkooz3 I've read a couple of Butcher's books. I've watched the series. I thought that the series wasn't that bad - and it took on a life of it's own. I've read comments from other reviews saying that the acting "was cookie cutter" - but I challenge you to look at the acting of a pilot in ANY series (sitcom, drama, etc)- and then review it a few years down the road... You will find that the cast of any series will be better after working around each other for a period of time - and this would've been no different (had it be given the opportunity). IN MY OPINION: ANY Dresden is better than NO Dresden. It's sad to see this series go away before given the chance to take off. I never even knew this series was around - and I watch the SyFy channel all the time. It's disappointing that they didn't advertise more.
Gunnar Graver Bought the whole season after reading the first 8 books of the Dresden Files, and I must say: This is completely and utterly crap! I really can't understand why anyone who actually read and liked the books will find any remote interest in this show. It has nothing to do with the books what so ever. Everything is changed, and I mean absolutely everything. One can understand limitations concerning budget and so on, but this really won't do. Deviations to better adapt the books to television always happen, but really... What they have done here is more in line of creating Harry Potter where Harry instead were named Harriet and she went to boarding school in Romania... They also managed to fill the ethnic-quota...that means of course Morgan.(Anyone remember Kingpin in Daredevil?) Obviously nothing wrong with that, except Morgan is NOT a black man.In my opinion the ones who wrote the scripts for this obviously haven't read a single book. They tried to make a cross-breed between x-files and Buffy, and in that they probably succeeded, but this has nothing to do with the Dresden Files.Hopefully someone wants to take this to the big screen, and maybe, just maybe they'll do the books justice. Give this to Peter Jackson and I'm sure he'll make it perfect.
