This is How Movies Should Be Made

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Really good TV series but season 3 was messy. I feel that the writers of season 1 and 2 were different writers in season 3...here an explanation of the mess in season 3 (Spoiler): ***Who would attack Christina so viciously and why? Explanation they try to sell on Season 3: They said that the attacker was a man (Gerry Brandon) who dropped off his daughter (Vivica Cross) at the hospital and disappear because her diabetes got bad on Season 3, Ep 2.How is possible this man was the attacker of Christina in Season 3 Ep 1?? Nick, the detective, killed this man and at the end of Season 3 Ep 1 he brings the ring of the attacker to Christina in the hospital ( The only thing Christina remembers of the attack was that he was wearing a ring with ruby stone).How could the father drop off his daughter if Nick killed him in the previous episode? His dead body is found on Season 3, Ep 3...in Episode 4, detective James Dupree disclose to Tom and Christina that "According to the autopsy report of Gerry Brandon from the time that Christina was attacked to the time the attacker was killed ..was just 19 hours". From Season 3 Ep 1 when she was attacked to when Vivica Cross was drop off in the hospital few days already pass, just look at Christina's recovery...Impossible for the same person to attack Christina and 3 days later drop off his daughter at the hospital....HUGE mistake from the writers.( Season 3 ) Episode 1: Christina gets attacked / Nick killed the attacker and brings the ring of the attacker to Christina in the hospital ( The only thing Christina remember of the attack was that he was wearing a ring with ruby stone).Episode 2: Gerry Brandon dropped off his daughter (Vivica Cross) at the hospital and disappear because her diabetes got bad. He kidnapped her 4 years ago, he was an abusive man to his wife, Renee Cross. Christina looks like already pass at least 3 days from the attack.Episode 3: Gerry Brandon body is found and reported to be Christina's attacker.Episode 4: Detective James Dupree from Internal Affairs disclosed to Tom and Christina that "According to the autopsy report of Gerry Brandon from the time that Christina was attacked to the time the attacker was killed ..was just 19 hours".Episode 5: Detective James Dupree from Internal Affairs asked Christina "if she ever solicit detective Renata to kill her attacker?" and interrogate Nick about the dead of Gerry Brandon who was part of a gang. Dupree claim Nick found out who was the attacker thanks to the security cameras in the area. Christina save the ring from her attacker under the wood floor of her house.Episode 9: Nick's mother died. A message saying "Eye for an Eye" was written with red can paint in the walls of his room with a ring hanging from an screwdriver similar to the one from Christina's attacker, Gerry Brandon, who was part of a gang. A older man with similar ring take the elevator hospital with Tom and makes sure he recognize the ring...same man show up at Nick's mother funeral.Episode 10: The man with the ring show up at the hospital again and see Christina. Nick gets shot in his car. END.More questions: ***Where is Dr Erin in season 3? ***What happened with Candy and Ray? I know they split but why, where is Ray? ***Miles and Camille (really with a married man?!)..Where is Marcus?

I hear that the show has been canceled, and while it is sad that the fine (albeit underused) talents of James Morrison and Anne Ramsey will have to go looking for other work, I could not be happier. It's not just that the whole "health care professional who cares too much" theme is so tired and sick that it vomits self-satisfied dust. It's not that Jada (Whoever) Smith is an actress without the ability to even talk herself into a speeding ticket. It's not even that costar Marc Anthony exudes all of the machismo of a crack-addicted, syphilitic squirrel. The fundamental problem with this show is that although it tried to sell itself as a medical drama, it was in reality simply a comeback vehicle for (Whoever) Smith. Successful medical dramas are almost always the result of well thought out writing and ensemble acting. "House", for example, also has the main character's name as the title, but nonetheless employs a cast of well-developed ensemble players. Ensemble playing was apparently not considered appropriate for "Whoever" Smith's comeback vehicle, so the story line turned away from medical themes and devolved into a not very well done cesspool of soap operatic rape, rage, angst, and infidelity story lines. Better off dead!

I will probably sound like a hater in this review, but please understand that I have really, REALLY tried to like this show. I also understand that reviews are simply one person's opinion - even though I may have strong feelings, I don't discount the enjoyment others may get out of this show. My wife likes it, and so I have continued to watch it with her. Please consider this my vent about my feeling on this show that I can't say to her! Also, I seem to remember liking the first season a lot more than the current season. OK, my gripes: 1. OVER/BAD ACTING - Seriously, the acting is just horrible. I think the actors are probably good, so perhaps it's direction? Regardless, it just seems over the top and cheesy most of the time. I could start pulling out examples, but really, any segment between commercials will bear this out.2. DISJOINTED STORY LINES - The plot is all over the place, with situations coming and going without any cohesion. I saw another reviewer call this out with examples, so I won't reinvent that wheel. However, last night's episode, with the creepy guy with the beard and the ring showing up at the hospital and the funeral. It's like these people are dogs or babies; the moment something/someone leaves their purview it's like it doesn't exist for them anymore.3. WTF Christina?? - I am just not getting the whole cheating on her husband thing. The time line is disjointed, so I can't get a bead on how long she and her new husband have actually been married. However, I have lost respect for her character over that. I know, I know, it's fiction, but still, you're actually supposed to like the protagonist in a story. Horrible acting aside, any validity her character had just went down the drain for me.4. AN ENTIRE SEASON OF HAWTHORNE NOT BEING AN RN - I thought the HawthoRNe was the entire point of the series, and yet the writers have effectively kept her out of the hospital (as a staff person) for an entire season. And the fact that her boss dismissed her for the most ridiculous of reasons (because she was attacked on their property??) and this doesn't become a major plot line is beyond me. These people could be working in a brokerage firm for the amount of actual patient care they were shown doing this season.Okay, I'll stop. Again, this is the pent up frustration of watching this show for nearly the entire second season hoping/praying it will get better, only to be disappointed more each episode. I typically look forward to season finales, but not usually just so the pain will end.

Seriously, does anybody believe that a chief nursing officer has time for patients? In the real world, even the nurses have to make an appointment to see her.Where is your budget headache Christina?How many JCAHO issues do you have on your plate to resolve?What sort of feathers are you pursuing for the nursing caps? Magnet? Speciality certifications? Anything???In all the hospitals I've worked, I have NEVER seen the CNO on a first name basis with patients and families or even the staff beyond her circle of management nurses. If a family has a complaint, it goes to the patient care advocate, not the CNO. Sure, RN is the first in the list of alphabet soup behind her name, but you can bet your *** you'll find MBA in there too. CNO is not a "nurse" position, it is an executive position.Ridiculous show and an insult to real nurses who get how it is in the real world.
