Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

... View MoreA movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
... View MoreActress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
... View MoreThe Hills explicates relationships between guys and girls through the framing of their physical/spacial relationships — relationships to each other and to the frame itself. You can understand what is going on in each of the scenes whether or not you've watched the work it comes from. I'm not joking when I say that the first season belongs on the list of the 100 greatest films of all time. The first episode is an absolute artistic masterpiece, and just in case you disagree, I'm going to walk your doubting mind through the steps. Remember: many of what are now considered the greatest films were laughed at (literally) when they premiered because people didn't understand the new visual language. The Hills is so, so, so sophisticated that it's gone completely over everyone's head. Now, I love hanging out with my friends too much to spend any time breaking the show down into shot-by-shot analysis, but I am going to write a series of posts exploring the show's meaning, its technique, and its characters. So go change into a bikini (if you're a girl) and get your surfboard ready (if you're a guy), put your sunglasses on, and get ready to get some hotness! The show is about something else that matters: about how the passage of time ravages us, revives us, and then ravages us again. So many of the show's most important moments of transition take place at the beach, and as the characters discuss their futures, the steadfast eye of the camera is always showing us waves tossing about and retreating — the most obvious of metaphors for the lives and loves of these characters who are experiencing change at a rate they've never experienced before. The title of the show itself is referring to this. The setting is the coastline, that never-constant boundary between land and water, between ourselves and the rest of the world.
... View MoreI gave this show a chance and I kind of watched some of it. I was always waiting for it to get better, but it doesn't. It's so sloppy and fake and lame. Why would they make a reality show as bad as this one? They could have spend this money on better, quality TV. The girls speak all the times like these stupid, rich Cinderella's sisters, and their acting is horrible. I mean it cannot get worse than that. Come on MTV, better put some music. I really wonder if their lives could be like this. If yes, I feel pity for them. They might have money and be in the fashion industry and everything, but their lives are so lame, really. No friends, no real partners, no family values, nothing. Just a load of superficial trash.
... View MoreSo, all of America actually buys this dreck. They think that this is reality. Is it? I've lived in LA and it is NOT.But when this schlock is made and fed to American teenagers - they believe this.I cannot fathom how people find this entertaining. It is offensive in the sense that it numbs the brain - I saw 2 mins of this and yes, there are people this shallow, this dumb.After I saw this I felt compelled to warn America's youth that there is more to watch on TV. Better yet, go outside, kick a ball, play a sport, do something, just stop watching MTV.
... View MoreI watched a couple episodes of this last night, because my friends girlfriend was watching it. It was painful! This is the lamest show ever made! The guys are douche bags and the girls are dramatic little whiners.This is the kind of crap that 9-13 year old girls should watch. My friends girl was trying to tell me that it's all real and non scripted. THAT'S BULL! There is no way that this show is real. The acting is extremely poor. IF this is real, then these people need to be put to sleep. I would never want to live a life like that.BASIC RUNDOWN OF THE HILLS: Material Girls who are rich because of "Mommy and Daddy", have douche bag boyfriends who are rich because of "Mommy and Daddy". Some of the girls like each other, some don't. The odd fight here and there. Constant lame drama, which in the end everything goes back to normal. The girls are naive as hell.Anyone who watches this show is a sheep. 0/10 COMPLETE CRAP!!!!!!!!!!
