Wordiezett So much average
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
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.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
tigertiger2010 The New Twilight zone 1985,Dec.Pam Dawber episode"But can she type?",After the hostess say's,"A secretary!,at my party",(this is where the scene was CUT) The hostess says,"Here's someone you Must meet!"Then she is introduced to a male Rock star who flirts with her and tells her he has never meet a secretary,and when he is saying goodbye,He kiss's her on the Lips,(This was my favorite scene because it made you wish it was you there talking cool with her),it Leaves her wondering why he treated her as if she were so important?.then she walks to the bar in a daze and meets "J. Frakes" (comander Riker). This good scene "Is Not on any DVD collection"
greensweater I have a weakness for anthology shows- you name it, I've watched it, from the brilliant (the original Twilight Zone, Night Gallery), to the down right cheesy (Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction anyone?) As you can see, I don't really discriminate. I had always heard about how good the Twilight Zone's 80's incarnation was, yet had never gotten to see it, since it was rarely ever aired.After finally seeing it, I have to say, it misses the bite of the original. Many of these episodes are missing those shock and awe endings that were the hallmark of the series.These episodes have more of a sentimental 'Kick the Can' feel to them- not to say that it's terrible. Yet, take a a somewhat schmaltzy episode from the original series, like 'The Hunt', and there is still that strange, eerie, uneasiness running throughout. We as the audience are left hanging as the protagonists, a man and his dog are unsure they've made the right choice in destination until the very end. Contrast that with, say 'Grace Note', in which a put-upon, sacrificing, aspiring opera singer is given a gift and a glimpse into the future by her dying younger sister- and well you can guess the ending of that one. The difference of tone is evident. Not to say that I didn't well up a little here and there, yet many episodes felt like they would be more at home on another 80's anthology show; the Stephen Spielberg produced, Amazing Stories.Also there were too many retreads, like a pointless 10 minute remake of The After Hours. All in all, I would say that it's watchable, but I could definitely see why this didn't last for very long. Not exactly as Disney-schmaltzy as Amazing Stories, yet not as in your-face-bizarre as Tales from the Darkside.
Mythicalreviewer I'm glad I never watched this show when it came out.I just wondered why it lasted 4 years. It reminds me of the terrible 80's with fake people, fake clothes, and fake music. How did I ever survive growing up in this era? The acting in the majority of episodes I have watched are forced. This makes for very boring shows. The plot lines are not very interesting as the old Twilight Zone shows. The old show inspired the imagination and made one look forward to the next show. Stick with the old Twilight Zone shows and spare yourself the pain of watching garbage.
Apollo_11 I remember the "new" series of The Twilight Zone with much fondness. I grew up with them. I don't remember many films/TV programs from childhood, but one episode from this series stood out for me more than any other. It was called "The Burning Man" and it was the most eerie piece of film making I had ever witnessed as a kid. In fact it first inspired me to start film directing.I know now that this short episode came from a book by Ray Bradbury, but it was the way the short film was shot that awe-inspired me. I seem to remember it featured a young Danny Cooksey as the kid. Had Piper Laurie in it too.Please CBS, bring them out on DVD. (And do it proper with extra features!)
