Flight 29 Down Volume 1 (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Flight 29 Down... there's been quite afew varying opinions based around this show. Young teens love it, others scorn it claiming that it's a "Lost" rip-off.
But, I hadn't heard ANY of this when I turned on the TV waiting for my episode of "Tokyo Mew Mew" to come on, and I accidentally discovered this.
Yes, the acting can be lacking at times, and some of the lines seem forced, but you become interested in the characters, especially Jackson, and you do start to wonder- whats going to happen to them? All of the characters have a diffrent side. It isn't obvious by the first season alone though. You need to see the second season to notice changes- especially in the characters of Taylor and Eric.
But this chidrens television fare is entertaning, and can be viewed by all ages- I watched it with a 4-year-old, a 13-year-old, a 15-year-old and of course myself (sixteen) heck, even my dad and some older friens of ours watched it with us and enjoyed it. Its not very complex, but it's fun, and very addicting.
For readers, I reccomend getting the books, you get character insight that the TV show doesn't give you.

Good Fences (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First let me state that despite the back of case description this movie is not a comedy. It does have its funny moments but comedy it is not. Set mainly in the 70's, this is the story of the Spaders, a black family that's movin on up. The father, aptly named Tom, is a promising lawyer who is driven to prove that he and his family are every bit as good, if not better than white people. As they get richer, and move into, and up in the affluent white world, they gradually become that which they hated, vapid, spoiled, stuck up bigots. The only family member who seems mainly unaffected is the son, Tommy 2. The film is sad, moving and disturbing. The direction is superb and the actors give powerful performances, with Whoopie Goldberg really standing out with her portrayal of a housewife increasingly trapped, isolated and alienated in a world in which she both belongs and dosn't belong.

Good Fences reunites Goldberg and Glover for the first time since theirnow classic pairing in Steven Spielberg’s The Color Purple in 1985. This is a story of anupwardly mobile yet dysfunctional black family who find themselves standing at the lily- white gates of the American Dream. They come to discover that nothing in life is justblack and white and that the road to a better life may just be another path of struggle andsurvival.
