Good movie but grossly overrated
... View MoreA movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreThere's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
... View MoreI have always like this show. It is more what school looks like from the perspective of an imaginative group of students rather than reality. The first episode I ever saw had cookie portrayed by a slightly chubby white kid and Moze was a blonde. I always assumed that was a pilot episode with actors that didn't work out. If I ever come across the show browsing the channels I have I will always watch it
... View MoreThis show is so cool. I love the random slapstick humor and crazy scenarios.~ The situations and storyline are very familiar and funny. Unlike most preteen sitcoms, Ned Declassified isn't about boyfriends and popularity. It's about friendship and advice.~ On a side note, I really love the episodes with Benedict Arnold and Abe Lincoln. They're so funny, and I got a good laugh watching Arnold farting on Lincoln's popcorn in Mondays/Vice Principals and when they finally agree on how you shouldn't give up. That made me laugh out loud.~ Overall, very good show.
... View MoreThis show might be the worst show on Nick. In fact... it is the worst show on Nick. It would be good except for the parts in the show where Dan Curtis' performance is really, really terrible. There are times when his acting is okay at best. Lindsey Shaw's performance might be the best in the whole TV show. Devon Werkheiser's performance is 2nd best. Not good, but not bad. The thing that really sent this show down the hole for me was those annoying, wacky, cartoon sound effects. I have only seen 3 episodes, all stunk. 2 of them I saw just because I wanted to find at least one thing good about the show. This show is worse than the Weird Al Show, and you will know what I mean if you've seen it. So all in all, only see this show if there's nothing better to do and I would've given this Show a 0/10 but the lowest was a 1/10 so I just ran with it.
... View MoreThis is special. Start to read girl stuff there tends to be such as pics of celebs who populate worlds that I do not access. Television culture. Girl food of the English, populated in a large part by stars and starlets from the USA? The Nickelodeon – Paramount DVD TEENick Picks 1 has an episode each of five of these. I would have thought that most would look to their TV set for such content, but I found it useful. The series and episodes are: Zoey 101, 1-05, Prank Week Drake & Josh, 3-03, We're Married Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide, 1-09, Computer Labs - Backpacks Romeo!, season 3?, Good Press Unfabulous, 1-11, The Little Sister First viewing, August 2007, in order, one a day, it was culture shock. This is stuff from a different planet. Do I really honestly want to, need to, access girl waterholes? * Zoey 101 was handy. I had got the impression of university type students played by school aged actors, nice but this says an expensive boarding school for maybe the full school age range. What was emerging for me in 2007 was some polished acting and storytelling but an inane plot. Is this plot inane, reflecting a lowish budget script, or is it sophisticated, reflecting what happens if it is difficult to think things through and talk clearly, taboo? They film at a bona fide university site. Prank Week: The girls are in trouble, the boys feeling that it is okay to mess up newbies, tradition, the girls should not retaliate. Except they do and she gets expelled. She shows a real ineptness about being able to explain herself with this level of stuff. What emerged for me was a story that read as inept. But the basic situation is a real one. First viewing, the character who stood out for me was the geek, Quinn, who appears in most episodes. Me considering her as really beautiful and allowing that to mean that her acting is impressive too. Which of course it is in this case. Except that second viewing I was starting to notice how her judgement has been knocked askew by RAGE, the pressure that can turn a pacifist into a homicidal type. The producer's next series, iCarly, I was wondering if the producer himself had gotten knocked out by RAGE. At 2013 I rate Zoey 101 as one of the best of the series made for kids. It is a long way from perfect, a few episodes are alien to me, but it has something. All of the episodes are available on DVD. * I read Drake And Josh as a story about young men and male world does need that sort of thing. Drake And Josh, episode 3-03 with its Titanic advert. I sat up and took notice as soon as the credits mentioned Miranda Cosgrove, a central character in School Of Rock. Except it felt flat. She has a wooden physical style. Miranda is the lead in iCarly and what I have seen, seasons 1 to 4, has a lot that is magnificent as well as chunks that feel to be sick. This is not something that I re-watch as often as Zoey. * Ned's Declassified. Way too weird for me to be able to get into this straight away, but now I rate season 1 as mostly tops, hot stuff, at the level of Pete And Pete for most of season 1, right up to the introduction of bad girl Bitsy, friend of Crabtree. Ned season 2 felt as if the storytellers had gotten sunk, but re-watch it and I now rate it as much as season 1. No season 3 disk set yet. Note, Crabtree later emerges in Twilight as Angela. Clarissa season one is worth checking too. Tragedy that the other seasons of Clarissa are not available on disk. * Romeo! By now, first viewing, I could watch it and enjoy it all the way through. This has the fewest IMDb user comments but that does not mean that it is lacking. * Unfabulous had stood out for me by a dreamy photo of Addie and her guitar, so it really was way different to expected, but easy to appreciate. This puts that photo into perspective. A dreamy photo of her in a full skirted grey frock now has different meanings too. I really like the IMDb user comment that Addie – Emma cannot sing as it tells me that others have difficulties appreciating these alien worlds as well. I like it that her singing has that sort of quality. October 2009 I now have the first two seasons of this and the singing improves in season 2, but it all fits the stories. My DVDs have a small flaw, 2-13 has a flawed song, but check the words closely and it has to be a deliberate flaw. * These are USA Lunar culture and I would really prefer European Lunar culture, but what I have from the UK is not as good. The age group. These are mostly stories about 'big girls' during the years of their transition to becoming established as young women. I really prefer series that deal with the pre-teen years and so far I only have Skippy 1992 and Full House 1987 for that. Ned and Pete as borderline territory.
