I almost didn't see the movie because of all the bad reviews, but curiosity got the best of me. I'm glad it did. I honestly liked everything. I thought the acting was great, the story was interesting, the characters were interesting and that the writer and directors did a very good job at maintaining the suspense and the tension. It starts out a bit slow, but you soon realize this isn't your typical "sci-fi" (don't get me wrong, I love science fiction movies). It's a family drama with a "sci fi twist," as I'm sure I read it described somewhere (maybe even the movie summary?). I guess for me it's about going with the story the creators wanted to tell, rather than the one you expect. I enjoyed it a lot.

Witches of East End
(2013–2014)
Ligth and fun
10 October 2013
I liked the pilot, and actually wished it would have been a bit longer. Its a light show, but fun. It's like Practical Magic (the movie), in that it combines a little dark, with light comedy. It is probably a bit younger than you'd expect for a Lifetime show, but based on the pilot, I'll be watching the next episode. The acting is good enough for the characters (I don't expect Emmy nominations though). I was glad to see Julia Ormond again, and I think Jenna Dewan Tatum is perfect for the role. The story seems to be set up nicely so that there will be some depth and twists to look forward to. We'll definitely have flashbacks and perilous situations to look forward to. A light alternative for Sunday nights.
