Odyssey 5 (2002)
Why do all the good shows get cancelled?
This show had it all, a good cast connecting from the very first minute, a good unique storyline and good ratings. And it was cancelled. Just as Space above & beyond and Earth 2 to mention just 2. Shows that have been cancelled for the most weird reasons.
Odyssey 5 is simply the best mix of scifi you can get. It's funny as stargate but more serious. The actors do stuff you would expect you would do as well.
It's just a shame that it won't comeback and a pity that no other network had picked it up when it was cancelled. Now we will never know how the story will unfold.
Vacancy (2007)
Nice idea, very many flaws
The idea is nice, a fighting couple put into a motel in the middle of nowhere getting hunt for entertainment pleasure. It's actually well done, until there comes a point when the guy and girl obviously start looking for some weapons to strike back. The best thing they could do was a piece of glass, which they didn't even use, not even when the arm of one of the killers is jammed at the door. They didn't even use a steel pipe from the shower and bath. Too make it even more ridiculous, when Kate is up in the attic she makes obvious sounds because she is shocked to see her soon-to-be-ex-husband practically murdered, but she doesn't even bother to take of her shoes which make a terrible loud noise when she crawled and tried to walk silently.
At one point, these slight errors frustrated me in wanting to see them get killed, and fast. There are numerous more things that are just plain stupid, but you'll see them if you watch this movie. But i advise against it. Nothing more then a B movie at best.
