- DirectorSergei EisensteinStarsGrigoriy AleksandrovMaksim ShtraukhMikhail GomorovA group of oppressed factory workers go on strike in pre-revolutionary Russia.Strike. Sergei Eisenstein. First half 7, last half 9, last 10 minutes 10. Rating: 8
- DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsTeresa WrightJoseph CottenMacdonald CareyA teenage girl, overjoyed when her favorite uncle comes to visit the family in their quiet California town, slowly begins to suspect that he is in fact the "Merry Widow" killer sought by the authorities.Alfred Hitchcock. Contrary to what I believe is most peoples opinion I must admit that I found it rather boring to be honest. Still a decent film.. 7
- StarsJens AlbinusMarina BourasSteen Stig LommerAs more crimes and criminals cross borders, the Danish police creates an international criminal investigation team. The half Icelandic "Ørnen" leads the diverse team of 6. The latest technology (2004-6) is used.My sister stars in 2 episodes as the wife of Columbian drugdealer Michael Carøe :P
The action sequences in this series are spectacular and outstanding in how poor they are. The acting is fine. 6 - CreatorStephen J. CannellPatrick HasburghStarsJohnny DeppDustin NguyenPeter DeLuiseThe cases of an undercover police unit composed of young-looking officers specializing in youth crime.I loved this as a kid. 6
- CreatorTom PatchettPaul FuscoStarsMihaly 'Michu' MeszarosPaul FuscoMax WrightWhen an ugly creature, who loves eating cats, crash-lands into the Tanner family's garage, they treat him as a guest and allow him to live with them as he comments on the stupidity of mankind.An alien with an 80's American humor keeps an suburbian family's hands full. Sucks that he never got to eat the damn cat though. Lasted 4 seasons. 6
- CreatorMike BarkerSeth MacFarlaneMatt WeitzmanStarsSeth MacFarlaneWendy SchaalScott GrimesThe escapades of Stan Smith, a conservative C.I.A. Agent dealing with family life, and keeping America safe.From the creators of Family Guy. Takes the piss on "official" American patriotism. 7
- StarsAl PacinoMeryl StreepEmma ThompsonSeveral disparate but connected individuals go through the AIDS crisis in the mid-1980s.Despite Al Pacino, Meryl Streep and a truckload of hype, this somewhat selfrightous series can't lift it self higher than a 6 on my scale ;)
- StarsBrian PattersonSøren Hauch-FausbøllMorten EisnerClassic children's show starring Bamse and his friends Kylling and Ælling. In each episodes Bamse's picture book (Bamses billedbog) serves as the source for an interstellar story.From back in the day where Danish public television made some of the best shows for kids with eye-to-eye communication ruled. 9
- StarsScott GrimesDamian LewisRon LivingstonThe story of Easy Company of the U.S. Army 101st Airborne Division and their mission in World War II Europe, from Operation Overlord to V-J Day.Appearently Saving Private Ryan wasn’t enough. This well produced tv series about Americans in WW2 never quite got it’s hooks in me. 7
- CreatorGlen A. LarsonRonald D. MooreStarsEdward James OlmosMary McDonnellJamie BamberWhen an old enemy, the Cylons, resurface and obliterate the 12 colonies, the crew of the aged Galactica protect a small civilian fleet - the last of humanity - as they journey toward the fabled 13th colony, Earth.Started out fine, but then turned into to Bold and the Beautiful. 5
- CreatorRon KoslowStarsRon PerlmanRoy DotriceJay AcovoneThe adventures and romance of a sensitive and cultured lion-man and a crusading assistant district attorney in Manhattan, New York City.I never knew until recently that it was Ron Perlman who played Vincent. He was skinny then. Loved it back then, though I am not sure that it has withstood the test of time (and me getting older). 6
- CreatorMatt NixStarsJeffrey DonovanGabrielle AnwarBruce CampbellA spy recently disavowed by the U.S. government uses his special ops training to help others in trouble.A spy is not a spy anymore because he was blacklisted. Takes place in Miami. A b-series, but kinda OK, especially the heavenly gorgeous Gabrielle Anwar is good as the semi-femme fatale :) The mother charater is hugely annoyting though, but luckily you can skip through her parts as they are rather irrelevant to the plotlines. 7
- CreatorJames BurrowsGlen CharlesLes CharlesStarsTed DansonRhea PerlmanJohn RatzenbergerThe regulars of the Boston bar "Cheers" share their experiences and lives with each other while drinking or working at the bar where everybody knows your name.One of the great shows of the 80s. Pretty much everything was filmed on the one set. One of the reasons it got quite boring I guess. 7
- CreatorLarry DavidStarsLarry DavidCheryl HinesJeff GarlinLarry David stars as an over-the-top version of himself in this comedy series that shows how seemingly trivial details of day-to-day life can precipitate a catastrophic chain of events.This is the shown which "Klovn" rippeed off completely. Which is fine. Unless you receive an award for "best original manuscript". 8
- StarsDrew ForsytheGeorgie ParkerAdam GilchristAnimated talkshow host. Australian. Just saw a few clips and they were funny. Especially the one where he rips apart David Hasselhoff. "Did you know that Hoff means hope in German?!? How ironic is that??!" :P 7
- CreatorDavid MilchStarsTimothy OlyphantIan McShaneMolly ParkerA show set in the late 1800s, revolving around the characters of Deadwood, South Dakota; a town of deep corruption and crime.Western. Acclaimed tv-show. Not by me... 4
- CreatorMatthew CarnahanStarsCourteney CoxIan HartJosh StewartA tabloid editor and her photographer try to make their way in the world of celebrity journalism.Rachel, or whatever her name is, Courtney Love or something plays a bitchy journalist with a heart of gold.. Not interested. 5
- CreatorMichael CrichtonStarsAnthony EdwardsGeorge ClooneyJulianna MarguliesThe doctors who work in the ER at the County General Hospital in Chicago grapple with ups and downs in their personal and professional lives while trying to give apt medical care to their patients.An seemingly endless series about an emergency room. Good things have come of it, like George Clooney, but that's about it I think. 6
- CreatorGary David GoldbergStarsMichael J. FoxMichael GrossMeredith BaxterChronicles liberal ex-hippies Steven and Elyse Keaton, their conservative son Alex, daughters Mallory and Jennifer, and later, youngest child Andrew.Michael J. Fox IS sitcom. (or was sadly..) Grew up on this. 7
- CreatorDavid AngellPeter CaseyDavid LeeStarsKelsey GrammerJane LeevesDavid Hyde PierceDr. Frasier Crane moves back to his hometown of Seattle, where he lives with his father and works as a radio psychiatrist.A great cast make for a semi-intellectual and quiet funny sitcom. 8
- CreatorDavid CraneMarta KauffmanStarsJennifer AnistonCourteney CoxLisa KudrowFollows the personal and professional lives of six twenty to thirty year-old friends living in the Manhattan borough of New York City.The huge hit of the nineties. Too much who-is-sleeping-with-who for me. But the first season or so was quite funny I must admit! 7
- CreatorJeff FranklinStarsBob SagetJohn StamosDave CoulierA widowed sportscaster raises his three daughters with assistance from his rock and roll brother-in-law and madcap best friend.Die!! (my sister watched like every episode as we were growing up).
Amazing to think that Bob Saget could behave that well for so many seasons. The only good thing to come out of that show though were the Olsen Twins… The Olsen Twins… 3 - CreatorDavid X. CohenMatt GroeningStarsBilly WestJohn DiMaggioKatey SagalPhilip J. Fry, a pizza delivery boy, is accidentally frozen in 1999 and thawed out on New Year's Eve 2999.Family Guy, Simpsons and Futurama. This is the shit.
"[in the library, absorbing all of Earth's knowledge]
Chief Giant Brain: Pathetic human race. Arranging their knowledge by category just made it easier to absorb. Dewey, you fool! Your decimal system has played right into my hands! Ha ha ha ha!" 8 - CreatorCarmen FinestraDavid McFadzeanMatt WilliamsStarsTim AllenEarl HindmanTaran Noah SmithThe daily trials and tribulations of Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor, a television show host raising three mischievous boys with help from his loyal co-host, loving wife, and eccentric neighbor.Tim Allen is extremely accident prone handy man. He really is very loveable and so is his wife. The only reason the show survived, as it wasn't strong enough to do so on it's own imo. 6
- CreatorShana Goldberg-MeehanScott SilveriStarsMatt LeBlancPaulo CostanzoDrea de MatteoIn this spin-off of Friends (1994), Joey Tribbiani moves to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career.Whatever. 4
