Good story, Not enough for a whole film
... View MoreThis is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
... View MoreWhen a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

... View MoreThis was and still is my favorite show on television but I may stop watching with the Cornelia Marie not being shown on this upcoming season and the Time Bandit not being shown after this season. In my opinion season 12 should have been the last season. The producers managed to keep it interesting through the first 10 or 11 seasons but season 12 was boooooring. You can only do so much with guys catching crab before it becomes the same recycled story lines over and over again.With that being said I probably would continue watching if the Cornelia Marie was being shown on this upcoming season because I wanted to see Josh Harris continue to grow and become the sole captain of the CM. That would have been the ultimate revenge to Derrick Ray who said that he would never be a captain on the Bering Sea. I also wanted to see if Jake Harris and Elliott Neese would return but from what I hear that's not in the cards.
... View MoreI start watching to this reality show last year, from time to time and I was amazed about the danger, hard work and dedication put from all these fisherman.. but this year I started to watch it again season by season and episode by episode and still I consider it extremely dangerous, captivating and addictive. You need to have stomach, be strong mentally, to work like a dog, so every time you eat some crab you appreciate all the effort so you can just eat it, because you know the route of the catching. Adrenalin, tragedy, drama, dead people, or in danger, this reality has it all. I am sorry for captain Phil Harris, he was very involved and good captain.
... View MoreA truly awe inspiring glimpse into the lives of the brave fisherpeople who risk their lives so that we may eat their bounty. When I first heard about this show, I remember saying "no way. Why on earth would I want to watch a show about crab fishing." It sounded dreadful. Utterly utterly horrible. A complete waste of time. But then I gave it a try. "Why not? YOLO" I remember saying. I've never looked back! I can confidently say that that decision was my GREATEST decisions in my entire T.V watching life. Even more than my decision to watch breaking bad! The danger of the Bering sea coupled with the sheer camaraderie between the brave crabbers on the boat really draws you in. The grit and determination the people have on the show have inspired me in my own life. Last year after watching every episode back to back I finally got the courage to leave my house. I had been living in fear of the outside world for much of my life until the heroes on this show gave me the kick up the behind that I needed. Their courage gave me courage. Thank you brave men of the Bering sea. Thank you for my life.

View MoreThis review contains reported analysis of some of the story lines in Deadliest Catch that may not be as they have been presented to be.I have been a big fan of this show from the beginning. Even with the relative sameness of the fishing part of the series, the personal situations and the adversity the crews face with mechanical problems, injuries, fatigue, the weather and the sea keeps it entertaining. More bothersome is the license that Discovery has apparently started to take with this supposedly most realistic of their reality shows. While some things cannot be staged, I have read reports that the network has begun manipulating story lines for entertainment purposes (or perhaps they always have, and we are just now finding out about it).A couple of examples: DC reported that Captain Elliot Neese was fired from the Ramblin' Rose after last season and that he bought his own boat, the Saga. There are just two problems with this: The head of the company that owns the Ramblin' Rose describes Elliot as "a fine young man" and a "very capable" captain (just the opposite of how he is portrayed on the show). It has also come out that not only was Ellot not fired from the Ramblin' Rose, the company who owns the RR is also the registered owner of the Saga - not Elliot. He was given the Saga to run because it is considered to be a better boat than the RR. So much for the "new boat owner".In an episode earlier this season it was reported that Elliot told his crew not to knock ice off the Saga as it began listing to one side. As the story goes, the crew ignored his instructions and deiced the boat anyway. First of all, if there is enough ice on a boat to make it list, no captain is going to order his crew not to take an action that might prevent it from capsizing. Second, it also came to light that the footage that supposedly shows Elliot's crew defying his orders was shot during a previous episode and it was spliced in to fit the fabricated story.There have also been rumors that some of the conflicts aboard the boats are orchestrated for television, and that some of the dialog in the wheelhouses with the captains, instead of being spontaneous and real, is in fact scripted and may be shot in more than one take. Given all of this, I also have to wonder about the portrayal of the personal drama of Elliot Neese of the Saga and his multiple girlfriends, and of Scott "Junior" Campbell of the Seabrooke as a double-crossing liar who enters into alliances with other captains and then betrays their trust.Discovery used to be a network I could count on for scientifically solid, entertaining television. They are rapidly becoming the television equivalent of the trash tabloids you see at the grocery store checkout line (maybe their next series will tell us that space aliens really did visit the President at the White House). They are neck deep in dubious reality shows. They have developed all variety of "monster" shows with various groups chasing creatures that probably don't exist, and now they feel the need to lie about what is going on aboard the crab boats. I guess that the Bering Sea just isn't exciting enough anymore.
