- CreatorChuck AustenChris MoellerStarsStephen RootMaurice LaMarcheJohn MelendezTripping the Rift is a CGI science fiction comedy television series. The universe is modeled largely after the Star Trek universe, with references to "warp drive" and "transporter beam" technology, occasional time travel, the Federation and the Vulcans. The series also includes elements borrowed from other sources such as Star Wars, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Battlestar Galactica. The general setting is that known space is politically divided between two superpowers: the Confederation (led by Humans, and a parody of the Federation from Star Trek) and the Dark Clown Empire (a parody of the Galactic Empire from Star Wars). The Dark Clown Empire is a totalitarian, tyrannical police state, led by the evil Darph Bobo. In contrast, the Confederation is technically a democratic and free society, but in practice, is dominated by mega-corporations and bloated bureaucracies. Ultimately, both superpowers end up exploiting and restricting their inhabitants, albeit in different ways. For example, the value placed on life is so commercialized in the Confederation that clearly sentient robots and androids are reduced to essentially slave-status. The Dark Clown Empire practices actual slavery, and while the Confederation does not, most of its inhabitants (including the Human ones) are openly described as living in wage slavery. The only place that anyone can truly be free is in the border region between the two superpowers, which is directly controlled by neither. This borderland is known as "the Rift", hence those outlaws on the fringes of society who cling to their freedom by moving back and forth around the Confederation/Dark Clown Empire border to evade detection are said to be "Tripping the Rift." The series follows one such group of outlaws led by Chode aboard the Spaceship Bob, taking odd-jobs and usually pursuing various get-rich-quick schemes.3d animation makes everything interesting. Oh, wait a minute...

- CreatorAndrew CosbyJaime PagliaStarsColin FergusonSalli Richardson-WhitfieldErica CerraA U.S. Marshal becomes the sheriff of Eureka, a remote, cozy little Northwestern town where the best minds in the US have secretly been tucked away to build futuristic inventions for the government which often go disastrously wrong.
- CreatorFrank DarabontStarsAndrew LincolnNorman ReedusMelissa McBrideSheriff Deputy Rick Grimes wakes up from a coma to learn the world is in ruins and must lead a group of survivors to stay alive.Based on a comic that also wandered into a dull, listless navel gazer of a storyline. Nothing against the brilliant veteran Greg Nicatero but the show killed off the best of the cast years ago. The show is left with a hero who is to acting what "planking" is to the present - wooden and just plain silly.
- CreatorDave EricksonRobert KirkmanStarsKim DickensFrank DillaneCliff CurtisA Walking Dead spinoff set in Los Angeles, California. Follows two families who must band together to survive the undead apocalypse.Hey there, Walking Dead fans! How would you like to see the Walking Dead with all of the goriest parts edited out? How about the gay prostitute version of Brandon Lee bugging out on heroin withdrawal for hours? Well, old pal, than The Walking Dead Lite is perfect for you!
Don't worry. They added an Andrea to this one, too. - DirectorJoseph KosinskiStarsTom CruiseMorgan FreemanAndrea RiseboroughA veteran assigned to extract Earth's remaining resources begins to question what he knows about his mission and himself.Here comes Tom Cruise to "rescue" the Earth in this weak adaptation of a much better graphic novel. I hope you swell folks enjoy an acting range that only has two gears (brittle and schmaltzy) and no where else because that's what you get - from 1,000 Tom Cruise clones.
The visual effects are very, very good. Everything around it is covered in bad writing, sloppy execution. - DirectorStephen SommersStarsHugh JackmanKate BeckinsaleRichard RoxburghThe famed monster hunter is sent to Transylvania to stop Count Dracula, who is using Dr. Frankenstein's research and a werewolf for nefarious purposes.Hey there, Mummy I and II fans! Ready to go on a romp through classic Universal movie monsters' storylines? I was too until 15 minutes into the tombstone for director/writer Stephen Somers career - Van Helsing.
Crippled by terminally bad casting such as Feremir as a goofy yet lovable friar, a snotty and childish tool as Lord Dracula and a beautiful female lead who chose to deliver her lines in a painfully bad attempt at an eastern European accent - there was no hope for even Huge Jackman to rescue this movie from itself. - DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossFreedom fighters Neo, Trinity and Morpheus continue to lead the revolt against the Machine Army, unleashing their arsenal of extraordinary skills and weaponry against the systematic forces of repression and exploitation.Wachowski brothers to world: "Ouch, our careers!"

- CreatorTim KringStarsJack ColemanHayden PanettiereMilo VentimigliaCommon people discover that they have super powers. Their lives intertwine as a devastating event must be prevented.About good as a crap sandwich and a side of crap. NBC plans on re-booting it 10 years later. That's says a lot about network television, doesn't it?
- CreatorFrank DarabontStarsAndrew LincolnNorman ReedusMelissa McBrideSheriff Deputy Rick Grimes wakes up from a coma to learn the world is in ruins and must lead a group of survivors to stay alive.A long-running joke about what would happen if 90% interesting cast was killed off and the remaining characters displayed all the genuine emotional interaction of a pile of rotting grapes.
