Almost Human Canceled
Apr. 30th, 2014 12:53 pmFox just canceled Almost Human. Poor Karl Urban and Michael Ealy, they just can't catch a break.
Though I'm not surprised. Instead of hitting the ground running, the writers really fumbled it up. I know that Fox aired the episodes out of order so that the arcs made little sense, but even the episodic plots seemed boring to me. And I rooted for the show so much :( Oh well...

That was great - but, sheesh, I can understand why it was rated hard R in the cinemas, talk about a hail of bullets and buckets of blood. It's so sad that it flopped completely, though, I would have loved a sequel. Because, graphic violence aside, it's a great movie with amazing women - out of the three main characters, two are women in non-traditional roles!
Great movie, I don't care what people say. And I still maintain that Benedict Cumberbatch was the best part of it. He was fantastic. He exuded so much menace, it was really, really scary! My favorite scene in the whole movie was the Khan vs. the Klingons fight. Wow, just WOW! I watched it like ten times in a row \o/
I love this movie! But not because of Bruce Willis, who is funny but who seems to play the same character over and over in his movies. I adore Helen Mirren and John Malkovich in this. But especially Karl Urban, whose character is basically the only "serious" or "normal" guy there. 
Now that was much better. Little Marie, Pamela present, Nicky having a bigger part and Karl Urban as Kirill. What's not to love? The shaky cam. No, just no. I very much prefer steady cam to shaky cam. 
Re-watched ST 2009 again. Wonderful, truly wonderful. I love JJ Abrams' style - it is the man who brought us Fringe, after all! 
Priest is visually stunning. The setting is quite breathtaking. And the story itself rather original. I don't think I have ever come across a vampire story like that. Other than that, though? 
Some time ago, me and a friend of mine had a bit of a row about movies based on computer games. She stanned for Resident Evil, I for Doom. The thing is, she said that in game movies, characters were disposable, the movie just had to feel like a computer game. I, on the other hand, couldn't care less if the movie is faithful to the game, I need characters to root for. We agreed on disagreeing, obviously.
