Top Gear USA (2008–2016)

I Like It

[7/10 · 20 January 2011]

Yeah, I know Adam Ferrara is no Jeremy Clarkson but, he's not supposed to be. The show is surprisingly up front and truthful, considering that it is on a commercial network. People keep bashing the show for being dry and dull. But remember the early days of top gear where there was like 8 people in the crowd AND Jason Dawes.

The second season is where it started to pick up it's also when they introduced James May. Hopefully, they get rid of Rutledge Wood and replace them with someone more capable of the position. But come on give it a chance, let it get a second season and hopefully it will get better.

Rambo (2008)

I Can't Believe It...

[7/10 · 28 May 2008]

I went into this thinking, "oh another Rambo film hours of pointless shooting and terrible acting." I came out amazed Sly has crafted a film that should (and I can't believe I'm saying this)of given him a nomination for an Oscar(why do I feel that my soul has left me?). Anyways I truly mean it sure there's all the killing and heads flying around, but aside that you can see the plight of the Burmese people. It's so wonderfully done that you cannot do anything but enjoy it. The acting isn't the best but at least the actors are actually trying. Go see this movie if you hate action movies trust me you'll be surprised.

I always said that Sly could direct an amazing movie when pigs fly, now if you'll excuse me I have to genetically combine a pig and a goose.

Saving Private Ryan (1998)

Horrible

[4/10 · 4 February 2007]

This movie completely over rated don't get me wrong the acting is superb but it's the storyline which angers me. This movie favors the Americans way too much. I mean during the duration of this movie all you is is American soldiers and Germans. It makes it look as if the Americans were the only ones fighting the war.

My question is where are the British the Canadians and the other various nations that were fighting this war long before the Americans entered. This movie's storyline is completely ridiculous the American Army would not spend that much time looking for one private they have bigger and better things to do.

For historical accuracy it 5.5 although the props and costumes and terminology is accurate the entrance where the soldiers are scrambling for safety isn't Americans did have air support but the American pilots were so bad at math the miscalculated and hit there own men.

I think this movie is a load of American loving bull and a real WWII movie should covers all the perspectives of EVERY nation not just one. Especially not the one that came in at the last minute.

I say this as a Canadian JTF2 corporal.
