... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreThe premise is promising: a girl working at the morgue starts getting flashbacks where she goes back in time and has a chance to save the life of a person who ended up as a cadaver at the morgue. But why does this happen, and who is the mysterious guy who also starts working there and seems to know more than he lets on?I stumbled across Tru Calling on broadcast television, and as a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer I thought I'd check it out. Well, if you want Eliza Dushku, I recommend you go for Dollhouse instead. Tru Calling has its merits but overall it's a bit of a disappointment. It sets up a mystery but doesn't really know what to do with it, nothing ever gets resolved and the show fizzles out.
... View MoreThis is an exciting TV show from FOX that is about an university graduate Tru Davies, who works in the city morgue, witnesses pleas for help from the deceased and is subsequently able to repeat the same day over again to prevent deaths and disasters.Each episode has its own intriguing and unique flavor, not straying from the plot but also not dragging on to make the show dull. And, each episode gives its own taste of suspense and unpredictability, making you eager to find out the truth behind Tru's power and the purpose behind Tru's nemesis - main villain Jack Harper, whose purpose is to make sure things stay the way they are and the course-of-events are not altered by Tru.This show has some excellent acting and episodes are well written - they definitely grab your attention from start to finish with its good mixture of suspense and the unexplained. But, just when things get more exciting, the show was abruptly canceled after two seasons. It is too bad - this show had great potential and was what I think one of the better TV dramas of the 2000s.Grade A-
... View MoreAfter hours, days, weeks of relentless searching, I finally found out the reason that Fox canceled Tru Calling. OK, Fox claims it was canceled due to poor ratings, but when you get online and search for any negative comment on the show, well, I have yet to find one. I don't recall how I got the information, but I think it was a response from Fox. I was informed that while Tru Calling was wrapping up season one (and anyone who was there when it was airing knows it was canceled after the first season originally), they changed owners. The new owner decided he liked reality shows much more than drama (so count your blessings on Bones, House and 24). Fans actually brought it back for the 6 episodes of season 2, which I think is amazing that we have that power! I hope the same comes for the terminator Sarah Conner Chronicles. Ironically enough, that is not what makes me the maddest about Fox Networks. The fact that a dumba$$ show like dollhouse or a show that should've lasted only two seasons at most like prison break or American Idol stay around way past their welcome. Reality is ruining television. We the people who hold hopes for a better future in television are constantly at war with our people dwindling everyday, leaving us behind, glorified by this new idea they have called a life which was not such a happening thing prior to the upbringing of reality TV. If you ask me, there should be one set of channels for just reality programming, charge a monthly fee for these like they do with sports packages, and give us back the good shows, and everyone will be happy. Quit canceling series just because they aren't reality TV, or more people will quit watching your channels, knowing that if they get into it, it will be gone within 2 years. The only reality show ever worth watching lasted 13 episodes, called Murder. Real people got a crash course in forensics and solved real murders...CSI meets reality...How did that go wrong?
... View Morea friend at work was telling me about Tru Calling, i had never heard of it so she lent me the DVD's to watch. I was totally hooked and was shocked to discover it had been axed after only 6 episodes into the second series, what is fox thinking, how can they axe a show with so much potential. There is so much more they could have done with it. The characters are top rate and the story lines are both funny, sad, edge of the seat, and at times jumpy. Harrison is great, u cant help but love the guy and Tru has so much patience with him. Bringing Jake in was a great idea too, took me a while to figure there was some thing not quite right about him and i found myself loving him one minute and hating him the next,I am going to really miss the show and as for Fox i just hope they come to their sense's and give it another go, or at least sell it to another company who will give it the airing it deserves. Its a crime to keep this series away from millions of people who, given the chance will love it.
