The X Files (1993)
Seasons 1-5 great, 6 good, 7 okay, 8-9 worst
The X-files was a very good series that at first was nether boring. There hasn't been a good intelligent sci-fi series like this since well...the Twilight Zone in my opinion. But...it soon fade. It soon became explicit and lame. About the time at season 7, I started to not watch it anymore. It just lost it's edge and intrigue. It lost everything. And it soon got worst when David left the show. They had a really good run though. Seasons 1-5 were the best. They should have ended it there, and just start making movies. They shouldn't have kept going. But it's still good. Season 2, in my opinion, was the very best. It had a lot of stuff going on. If you're thinking about getting one of the x-files seasons, just get 1-5, don't even bother with the others.
The Ghost and the Darkness (1996)
all right, but not good enough - more like average
This is all right movie but it wasn't great as it should have been. Val Kilmer did a bad performance, not only that but the character is British, he isn't Irish. I've read the book which was the account of the true events that did happen written by Patterson himself. The book was more horrifying, bloody, and of course better. I think they should have stayed by being true to the book, besides it was written by Patterson himself, he should be the one to know what happened. But the movie was all right, regardless of Val Kilmer's performance and the fast pacing, the film had great cinematography and music that went well throughout the film that really made feel that you were in Africa.
The Grid (2004)
not a good show, not a good message
This show I didn't really like. The show doesn't create much stereotypes, well kind of...mostly on the characters. This to me, is just a typical action TV show. Dylan Mcdermott, whatever is name is...he's a bad actor in this show. Not only that but this show has horrible dialogue. I mean, when I heard him talking about his thoughts about 9/11 and how he hated the Muslims that day, it was so stupid. It was such a ridiculous speech and Dylan did a bad job of acting out the emotions. Not only that but I think this show creates a bad message to Muslims and about terrorism. First off, I think we as America are making a big deal about terrorism, I know it's because of 9/11. And that was horrible day for me too...but we don't deal with it everyday or every year. We should be glad that we don't live in Israel or any other world countries that have to deal with terrorism almost everyday. War on terror will always be fought and never be won, the only way to stop it is to prevent it. We've been dealing with terror all our lives, because it's hatred. We've dealt with it since the KKK, even though, Mr. Bush doesn't think the KKK is a terrorist group, he is sadly mistaken. The other thing is also that we need to stop saying that it's the muslims and that terrorism only happens in the middle-east. There's terrorism in Sri Lanka, Brazil, Japan, there's the IRA, the GIT, they're everywhere. We're lucky that we don't deal with that much. The best way of dealing with terrorism is to not be afraid, otherwise they win. And the other thing we need to do is to secure our country in order to prevent attacks and take action upon it. I hope later on this show, they'll show other terrorist groups and create a better message about it. But...the show sucks anyways, because of it's predicable and awful dialogue, lack of emotional impact, and it's poor acting. This show I wouldn't recommend.
