Top Gear USA (2008–2016)

Absolute garbage

[1/10 · 24 July 2011]

This show is an abomination. The hosts know nothing about cars, have no chemistry whatsoever, and the "challenges" are boring and uninteresting. How this show continues to remain on the air is a mystery to me. I'll admit I watched the first season in hopes that we've finally come up with a decent American version of a fantastic show. Sadly I was disappointed, and it doesn't look like their chemistry or the writing has gotten any better.

It's impossible for the US to produce a good show like the original. The BBC is publicly funded and the presenters have no qualms or reservations speaking their mind. The US version doesn't have that luxury, as I'm sure there's plenty of big wigs directing their commentary.

Watching this show is the equivalent of watching 3 robots programmed to speak by people with nominal car knowledge. I'd rather stare at the wall for an hour instead of watch this junk.

Save your time and just watch the UK version.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)

Horrible

[1/10 · 15 June 2007]

This movie was god awful. Horrible dialogue, horrible cast (Jessica Alba can't act), a storyline that dragged on and didn't really cut the chase. Like the first movie, there was horrible character development. Poor direction led to really corny camera shots as well. Why do they keep making these movies? This was absolutely terrible. I hope that they do not end up making a 3rd movie as it was hinted, because it will turn out even crappier than the 1st and the 2nd. This wasn't Fantastic 4, it was more like Horrendous 4. It was the most painful hour and thirty minutes of my life. If you just want to watch a movie for effects, then you will enjoy the movie. You might also be mentally retarded, but that's OK. I felt like busting out my iPod halfway through the movie, and then proceeded to go in and out of consciousness. I want my $7.50 back.
