It's such a shame that Fox look like they are about to cancel this show as It's the most compelling 45mins on U.S. tv. There's plenty of other reviews so just to note that the U.S. Blu-Ray is region free, and will play on U.K. PS3's and Blu-Ray players, and contains all the extras from the American release that are sadly absent from the U.K. discs. Here's hoping judgement day is put off for another few seasons.

As much as fans eventually hated it, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines [Blu-ray] [2003] [US Import] is lights years ahead of this tedious show. You might end up wondering how the timeline in this show can exist considering the story of T3, but if you consider that this was Skynet's fourth attempt at killing John Connor AFTER the TX failed then it would create a tangent timeline in which the events of T3 would never happen.
The show doesn't even attempt to explain this to us, however. I hate exposition as much as the next viewer, but TSCC has no sense of time, character or importance of event. Nothing is clearly presented to the audience and it's hard to keep with the barely interesting story. It's bad writing, plain and simple. And the ... Read More:

Although the most prolific of the 70s directors who worked their way up from superior exploitation to the mainstream, John Carpenter's flame may have burned the brightest but it also burned the most briefly before he descended into lifeless hackwork. Even the more promising projects floundered when confronted with his increasingly pedestrian handling. His 1995 remake of Village of the Damned is a classic example. Ill-advisedly relocated to a California coastal town inhabited by Superman, Luke Skywalker and Crocodile Dundee's girlfriend, the special effects are more prominent and the body count is multiplied more than ten times as villagers burn themselves to death, impale themselves, doctors blind or perform autopsies on themselves, all staged with remarkable flatness ...

As one of the biggest Osmond fans on the face of the Earth.. I thought this telefilm was a great watch for 1 and a half hours. It skimmed over the entire family's history, from egomaniac Merrill's overinfalted opinion oof himself, to Alan's responsibility of the group and the brothers, Jay and Wayne get the short end of the stick in this film as they don't really have any input.
The characters you want to feel most sorry for is Marie and Donny - neither ask for any of the pressure added onto them yet they seem obligated to as they have the most appeal for the entire family. Bruce McGill is fabulous as the father and Ryan Kirkpatrick is brilliant as Merrill.
The brothers are easy to tell apart and some of the real footage is great to integrate with ... Read More:

"Do you mind if I take the reins? I like to know where I'm going." Vance Jeffords, played by Barbara Stanwyck, not only likes to take the reins, she's also capable of turning most men into counter tenors just by staring at them. And don't mention sewing shears...those are reserved for the eyes of other women.
The Furies is a well-crafted, enjoyably mean-spirited western with an unpleasantly conventional moral ending. What makes it memorable is the first two-thirds, which features an arrogant, man-eating performance by Stanwyck and an equally arrogant, blasting performance by Walter Huston as Vance's father, old T. C. Jeffords. Close behind is the butter-melting (and ultimately touching) performance of Judith Anderson as Flo Burnett, a woman as determined to protect ... Read More:
