Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

LiquidPoetry1921 I know I'm late to the party reviewing this show, but I really wanted to give it my kudos!Whether people realize it or not, they subconsciously express their prejudices due to a person's appearance. In this show, the possibility of not choosing a quality singer because of their long hair, being bald, too fat/thin, too old/young, etc., is eliminated...at least at the beginning of the show. But, at least that gives a good singer a chance who might have been rejected from the jump.It's also nice to see the producers switch out the judges, except for the perennial Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. I've definitely liked some more than others, but the constant changing of the guard keeps things fresh. I'm just hoping the Stefani/Shelton relationship doesn't crash and burn during a 'Voice' season!My only objection is I wish they wouldn't give established singers, meaning those who have already recorded an album or have been an opening act for another major performer, a shot on the show. The chances should be left to novices who need a break...not to someone who needs ANOTHER chance to make it.Really enjoy 'The Voice' ~ Mark Burnett really got this one right!

gmmgr I have been watching the Voice since it aired.I loved the bantering & the style of the show. It was fun & enjoyable. I'm sorry but whoever decided that Miley Cyrus should be a judge on that show is crazy. Especially with all the younger talent auditioning. She is a terrible roll model for young people. She is obnoxious, rude, fowl & vulgar. When she leaves I will consider watching again. There has to be other talent out there that would have a better chemistry with Adam & Blake. I'm terribly disappointed. It has turned into the Miley Cyrus show. She has a big mouth & her clothes are hideous. Maybe if she acted like a young lady & showed some class it would be easier to take.

A_Different_Drummer ... is that right now as you read these words you could go back in time and review the 1948 edition of Ted Mack and the Original Amateur Hour. Why, you are wondering, would you want to do that??? Because, as the name implies, that show really and truly was the original from which all current hit shows (Voice, Idol, etc) have sprung.Interestingly, the concept died out for a few decades and then came roaring back into fashion. Which brings us to this show. First, it is not so much a show as a product. Big difference. The brains behind the show is John de Mol, the godfather of reality TV in the US, which means that the show was designed to be a hit before the first episode ever aired. Second, pay attention to the flow of a typical episode (I have seen them all, and I am not proud of that fact) and you will notice they spend more time promoting each other, and the show, than the so-called artists. Think about that. While you are thinking about that, notice that MORE OFTEN THAN NOT THE COACHES PICK THE WRONG SONG FOR THE ARTIST. With friends like that... Finally, since this is a formula product not a show (see above) every few years they end up with too much talent (where for example the top 2 contenders are about even and both deserve to win) and, also, seasons where all the contestants are duds -- like the 2014 season, where (trust me) very little actual record sales will result, regardless of who the winner is.But the show has its moments. Watching Michelle Chammuel perform was a treat. Watch her in web clips and you will notice that a major talent was lost that season. Which is, oddly, what gives the show its panache. Not its carefully rehearsed moments. Its the ones that got away.

Emily Hammell I started watching it on Hulu when a girl from my hometown won season 3. I loved the idea of the blind auditions, but I wish that the judges couldn't converse before pressing their button, but it definitely takes away some of the bias. The announcer irritates me, though. They should seriously get someone new. All the singers can sing on the show, which is definitely a plus. Sometimes the judges make a wrong choice, and at least in season three I don't think the right person was chosen to win, but they can still sing. Yes, they make mistakes, and they are pop/rock/etc. singers so their intonation and all the stuff that matters to classical singers are often a little off, but they love what they do and so I can't help but enjoy it.
