Ben 10 (2005–2008)

Goodbye 10-year old Tennyson, It's been a good two years.

[8/10 · 30 June 2008]

Two very short but good years. 'Ben 10' is a good show for kids, and I'm proud to say I like it. It is somehow different from the other TV shows, like Totally Spies and Teen Titans. Well, actually, I can point out some similarities between Teen Titans and Ben 10. It's about a boy who has a alien watch that can change him into 10 different aliens. No matter how lame it is , it's pretty smart for a kid's TV show. I think the animation are occasionally good and pretty flashy, but not always. The character design could be better. Much better, the character could not be any shallower, and sometimes it's very, very predictable, especially the dialogue. It deserves more credit than it is given, because it's way better than the other shows. It's moderately successful, but completely satisfying. Cartoon Network was once a good channel, but now it has shows that are just plain bad and makes you disgusted that someone has come up with the idea to make it. Not this show. Sure, it's not as brainy as The X files, but it does well compared to the other shows playing on Cartoon Network. For some people, Ben 10 is a slow paced, ridiculous show with forgettable lines and an uninteresting storyline. But for others, it is a excellent show that is exiting and funny at the same time. The TV movies are pretty bad, even for a TV movie, but the spin-off show, Ben 10 Alien force is just as good, getting better and better with each episode it progresses. Thank you 'Ben 10' creators, for bringing a good, decent show onto Cartoon Network. I give it a 8/10, but not worth to but the DVD.

The Suite Life of Zack & Cody (2005–2008)

A disgrace to the TV

[1/10 · 10 May 2008]

The suite life of Zack and Cody, is without doubt one of the worst shows ever to put on the screens. Every single episode goes like this: 1-Zack and Cody does a problem, 2-Zack and Cody try to fix it, 3-Z&C learn a lesson! How predictable. The laughs are at most, a few seconds long, and predictable, and not funny. The show is much too awkward, and gives stupidity a new name. If it was ever made into a film, it would definitely pop into the bottom 100. Or, if there was ever one, a bottom 10. This is definitely the worst show I have ever seen, ranking behind Hanna Montana (just slightly), Grim adventures of Billy and Mandy and all the second-rate shows ever to pop on the screen. Suite life of Zacka and Cody should not have its place on TV, or DVD.

Monster House (2006)

Very good.....

[9/10 · 23 November 2007]

There are 2 types of animated films: 1-A selfish character makes friends, learns to be unselfish and learns life lessons. 2-a character must do something, but has a problem of doing it. Monster House is none of them. Well, maybe number 2, but it's made to entertain people, not teach them a life lesson on unselfishness and kindness. Why does Cars win on "The best animated film of the year award?" Cars is just a simple storyline, nothing new. Monster House also has a simple storyline, but the movie is GOOD! It is mature, obviously designed for the seven years and over, but still, very nice. I highly recommend it. With a storyline so simple and a finale so amazing, it's a wonder it didn't get the best animated film of the year award.

Ben 10: Race Against Time (2007 TV Movie)

Not impressive

[1/10 · 22 November 2007]

When I watched this film, well, before, I thought this was going to be a immature, boring film for little kids. I'd love to say I'm wrong, but sadly, no. The script was terrible, acting very, very poor, and it seems EVERYTHING in the movie sucks. The music, out of all the parts of the movie, was the best. And the music is just OK. The Ben 10 team could have made something better, and I watched the film with very low expectations. Any lower than that, I'd be dead. The movie did not live up to my expectations. I wasn't expecting a Die Hard, just expecting a low rate film. I was 100 percent right!Out of all the movies playing on TV, I ended up watching this. If you want to see a movie based on a TV show, go watch Transformers.

Panic Room (2002)

A very scary thriller!

[10/10 · 3 August 2007]

When i first looked at the DVD cover, I saw Jodie Foster lying in the bed with a man in the doorway. I assumed the movie will be about a man locking a woman in a closet and she panic as she tries to find a way out. I was wrong. It's about a burglary, and a mother and daughter seek safety inside a vault-like room called the panic room. You may think this movie as boring, just about a family panicking inside a room. Actually, this is a very scary movie, and will knock you off your chair as you see it. The performances are overachieving, (always expect that from Jodie Foster). But to let you know it's just not about people waiting inside the panic room. Meg, the mother, leaves the panic room because she has to get medicine for her daughter, Sarah. i thought the action is very good, everything just fits. I say its a horror/action/drama. There are some flaws, they are usually minor, but sometimes very easy to point out. David Fincher doesn't make this movie to thrill you, he makes this movie to scare the heck out of you. Although this movie could be a really bad film because the plot is really simple: (2 people stuck in a room and 3 people try to break in.), but is a very simple but thrilling film. A-
