Of course I "BOUGHT IT". I thought it was a Great Michael Vartan movie. But then again I'm biased. But I really thought Michael did an excellent job and was an excellent change for him. Now I can't wait for "Demoted" to come out and see more of the comic side of Mr. Vartan.

I did finally watch Rogue, and while it is hardly a classic, it is a nice little film. The cinematography is quite good, the Australian outback never looked so good. Alias fans will enjoy watching Michael Vartan as the hero using R-rated language would make Marshall blush. The film, by Greg McIean (the director of Wolf Creek), is slow to get going and at times fails to keep you on edge, something Wolf Creek had no problem doing. The end is pretty suspenseful (I won't give it away) and there's a fair amount of blood and gore as limbs are torn and people munched. It's a definite rent over a buy, and an OK diversion for an hour and a half, but nothing to write home about. Be warned:there is one scene involving a newspaper clipping which supposedly shows the body of a young boy being pulled from a dead croc's stomach. It's hard to tell if it is real, but either way, it's pretty disgusting and unnecessary.
Your review of S4 Finale « Result #8 on May 31, 2008, 12:52pm »
What did everyone think? I really believe the show reinvented itself and found its footing again this season, and the final scene in the finale was a real trip. Yes, a lot of the mystery is fading away, but I am enjoying how this is unfolding.
Review of JJ's Fox Show FRINGE « Result #9 on May 31, 2008, 12:49pm »
Here is the review courtesy of SciFiWire.com:
Fox previewed Fringe to a group of TV writers on May 29, offering a look at a rough cut of the SF show's two-hour pilot and releasing new details about the series, which comes from J.J. Abrams (Lost). (Major spoilers ahead!)
Fox also released a new description of the series, with more details about the show's casting. "When an international flight lands at Boston's Logan Airport and the passengers and crew have all died grisly deaths, FBI special agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv) is called in to investigate," the description read.
"After her partner, special agent John Scott (Mark Valley), is nearly killed during the investigation, a desperate Olivia searches frantically for someone to help, leading her to Dr. Walter Bishop (John Noble), our generation's Einstein. There's only one catch: He's been institutionalized for the last 20 years, and the only way to question him requires pulling his estranged son, Peter (Joshua Jackson), in to help."
SCI FI Wire viewed the entire pilot, which mixes elements of Abrams' previous series Alias and Lost with bits of The X-Files and even outright homages to the 1980 SF movie Altered States (that film's star, Blair Brown, is a Fringe cast member, playing a manipulative corporate executive).
The show, which begins very darkly and features a fair share of grisly visual effects, is also liberally dosed with Abrams' trademark quirky humor. The title refers to "fringe science"--mind control, teleportation, astral projection, reanimation--which Dunham begins to uncover in the course of her investigation.
Torv, a relative newcomer and native of Australia, is the show's center, whose character is a mix of Dana Scully, Sydney Bristow and Kate Austin and who recalls Without a Trace's Poppy Montgomery, a fellow Aussie who also plays an FBI agent.
The show's cast also includes Lance Redthingy (The Wire), as head FBI agent Phillip Broyles, and Kirk Acevedo and Jasika Nicole as other FBI agents. The show's executive producers are Abrams, Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (writers of Transformers and Abrams' own Mission: Impossible III and Star Trek), Bryan Burk, Jeff Pinkner and Alex Graves. Fringe, which a Fox spokesman said is a "tentpole" for the TV network, premieres Aug. 26 at 8 p.m. ET/PT and will air on Tuesdays at 9 p.m.
