This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
... View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
... View MoreThere's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
... View MoreI was so excited to see this show since I like both Rob Estes & Orlando Jones. The first time I watched the show I was sucked into the way you get to see all the evidence and how it's pieced together by the inspectors. I also enjoy seeing Martin Landau's character on screen. He always manages to provide a little humor as well as history lesson. The only concern I have is that this great show will end up alongside "Firefly" at the end of it's first season.If you enjoy two hot guys who can also act with interesting back stories - Rob's character has a wife who was murdered, the case is still open and he can't get answers through the station; Orlando is trying to help his ex-gang banger brother get a fresh start after jail - then this is THE show for you.
... View MoreWhen I saw the preview for the primer of The Evidence, I though, "Oh no, not another cop show," but by the end of the hour, I realized this is definitely not just another cop show. I loved the playful banter between Orlando Jones and Rob Estes. The dialogue was quick witted and often times very funny. The over all look of the show was very contemporary, without being pretensions. I am usually disappointed when a show tries to look edgy and new. Often times this means a shaky camera and pointless cuts. While The Evidence was very "cutty," in the end it all added up to a very cool style.I was also very drawn into Cole's (Rob's) back-story. His wife's unsolved murder reminded me of Molder's obsession with his sister's abduction in the X-files. I hope, like the X-files, this story thread is recurring though out the season. I'm intrigued keep them coming.
... View MoreBriefly, this show incorporates the best aspects of some of the old favorites: the style of Miami Vice, the dialog of, I don't know, a great buddy cop show with a serious edge, .... Also, it appears that while every episode will have a solved murder, ala CSI, there is also a through line with the main character, Sean Cole, ala Lost, where the audience will undoubtedly tune in to see what will happen with the memories of his dead wife--perhaps he will even begin to solve the case little by little. This subplot was the most intriguing part of the show for me. In fact, I watched the first episode with about 8 friends, and the thing we kept talking about most was the dead wife subplot.One question... wait two. Does every woman on the show, regardless of her job (from the cops to the lab dorks) have to be a model? And is this why every character on the show seems to have some sort of sexual tension with every other character on the show--even Martin Landau?A great replacement for Invasion.
... View MoreWhen watching "The Evidence" series premiere this week, I forgot I was at home watching a one-hour TV show. The writers, direction and acting are very big-screenish (if you know what I mean) looks like something I'd see on the big screen. It's COLUMBO meets CSI - very modern, edgy, action-packed, suspenseful and even funny!! They have slow motion, stills and fast past pans and I felt like I was there, not at home watching it on TV.The only thing I didn't like about the show was the "garage scene" with Rob Estes. Reminded me of A Beautiful Mind. Creepy. I know they had to give his character a back storyline, but please. I hope they finalize his own personal case and focus on current day happenings - not the past.Other than that, very entertaining and cinematic. It's Columbo meets CSI - we see how the murder is done and the evidence and then hope that the detectives figure it out. Very creative and modern! Makes you wonder how they do it!!
