Four Kings (2006)
Sorry NBC - Try Again
I love Seth Green, I really do. But this show was so awful! The jokes were forced and the same old and predictable. The scene with the personal trainer I could almost quote without having ever seen the episode before. I have not seen anything so pathetic since the ill-fated "Martin Short Show."
However, after saying that, I may watch another episode to give it another chance. Sometimes the pilot episode spends so much time setting things up that it loses substance.
NBC is trying so hard to get some good, new comedies out there and so far has only "Earl."
Left Behind (2000)
Not too bad
I am a big film buff, but very critical of most of the films out there today.
I went to see this movie expecting the typical cheese that we see in Christian films. But I was suprised!
The beginning was a little slow, but when the plot got going, I was really into the film. Now a lot of moviegoers may not like the film because they are used to big budgets, big names, and big effects. The budget for the film seemed to have been small, but they did well for what little they did have. Kirk Cameron to me was a pleasant suprise, but the whole movie belonged to the actor playing Nicholi. Wow!
This was released in video first, but I recommend it on the big screen. There are some nice lighting effects that would be lost on video.
The one thing I did not like about the film is no different from any film based on a novel, there is too much information to put into too little time. Not to mention this is based on the first book in a series, so you're left hanging at the end and therefore the last scene is a little lame.
Go see it. Enjoy it. It's a breath of fresh air from a lot of the big budget films that are out there now.
