Drive

Synopsis: A man -- without a name, his mom was drunk -- is a Hollywood stuntman, a getaway driver, and a mechanic in a shop. He ends up falling in love with his neighbor, whose husband is in jail. Meanwhile, his boss (Brian Crantson, the only bearable character in this movie) sets him up with a job using money from the mafia. When the husband of the girl he loves comes home, all hell breaks loose...

I will be straight up honest with you -- this movie is overrated, over-hyped and even boring 90% of the time. I couldn't get into this movie at all. It's ashamed because I thought it was going to be one of those "kick-ass" movies like Drive Angry or Faster, but it wasn't. Why did I think it was going to be off-the-charts in action? The previews are very misleading -- very. I remember watching the previews and saying "Oh, this going whoop ass!" But, no, I was deceived.

I'm not sure if I've ever heard of Ryan Gosling before this, maybe I have, not sure, but he was hideous in this movie. Some say he's suppose to come off as a humbled guy who only speaks when necessary. Yeah, I'm sure another actor could have done better, but after seeing Gosslings' performance I realized his acting in this movie was very 1 dimensional, it had no depth, no raw feeling, no emotion -- even when he "snaps" at the end, he looks just like when he was first introduced; however, the only thing is he's smashing some guys fingers with a hammer, without expressions. I kept thinking "slap this guy i the face with a Jack-hammer to get a response out of him!" Think about this, a guy who rarely speaks. He meets a girl and her kid. He gets to know the kid and then he says to this kid, "Want a toothpick?" That was my "what the fuck" moment!

Personally, I wanted to see emotion, maybe Goslings' character was related to Alma on The Happening, remember how she doesn't like to "show emotion?" Well not in this movie, he really give a good performance for not showing emotion -- what did I just say? -- oh well the movie still sucks.

Drive is very slow, ironically it tried to sale its self as a high-octane racing-like movie. For example, at the Begining you see Goslings' character in the middle of a heist. However, they kind of get discovered, however, he's so calm he simply drifts around avoiding the helicopter and cops. Even I'll admit, that's a skilled driver, but if you try to sell a movie as a fast-and-furious high-speed pursuit kind of movie, yet there rarely as any high speed pursuits, it's going to fall flat with most of the audiences. I speak for myself, in this matter, I hated the movie. However, seeing him avoid the cops and the helicopter was unique and very cinematic, and gave you the feel that you're about to get to know a guy who's devoid of human emotion, but then it turns into this over saturated film, with nothing in it. Even when he beat the guys face in while on the elevator, he still had no emotion. Maybe that's how the film was suppose to be, but for my liking, it wasn't great. I want to see him evolve emotionally, characteristically and mentally (even though you do see that, and I will admit it).

It would have been more entertaining if Gosslings' character was cruising around avoiding the police like he was doing at the beginning of the movie, but then he gets caught and we get to see his skills as he evades the police and the helicopter in a high-speed pursuit evading the cops. It kind of happened, but it wasn't entertaining it was boring. I know it takes a lot to evade a helicopter, nevertheless, he's suppose to be skilled and in the movie he's very precise and has everything set up. So if he thinks everything through, then he would have a contingency plan for escaping the police and the helicopter at the same time.

Another aspect Drive I disliked was the pacing. Everything was so slow. I couldn't bare see the montage of him and the the female neighbor and her kid, I couldn't imagine how she would fall for a guy like him, especially with his lack of proper human emotion (I just realized Goslings' character and Bella would be a perfect match). The romance was overrated and over romanticized. An emotionless guy, plus an hopeless romantic girl falling in love = awkward romance. What the point of having romance if the character doesn't evolve and really show his emotion. Maybe I'm missing something and I will watch it again just to see if I missed something everyone else picked up. Nonetheless, I will say this, it's rare that I hate a movie, then re-watch it, and then end up loving it.

So what do I rate this movie? 2 Starts out 5

Underrated Movies Of 2011

As most know, I love movies. Movies are just as good as books! However, every now and then I gotta say that there are some movies that just slip under the radar and are skipped over by very overrated movies such as Avatar! So I figured I'd compile my own list of the most underrated movies of 2011:

Kill the Irishman

Kill the Irishman is about a true story of a man named Danny Greene who the Italian mob had tried to kill him multiple times and failed every time. Personally I didn't know what to expect when going into this movie. But after watching it, I realized I'm glad I listened to my friend, because if I hadn't I would have passed over it like I do most films that don't appeal to me. So if you have the extra capital I recommend giving this little gem a watch.

Hannah

I loved this movie. This is a Luc Besson film, very typical -- you know the one with a strong female lead. I honestly felt this movie was a very interesting watch because its amazing watch a girl who looks twelve years old kick a bunch of grown men's asses. If you haven't seen this, watch it. Especially if you like movies that are spy thrillers, political and action-packed.

Unknown

Liam Nesson is an amazing actor is practically everyone movie I've seen him in. Unknown is very underrated and it had an excellent cast with a heck of twist at the end. If you haven't seen this flick and you love political movies, spy thrillers, or assassination movies. I say give it a shot. It's very much like Bourne Trilogy, Mission Impossible, and the movie Traitor. This film is very engaging and it will keep you on your feet because the action and the story is simply superb.

Drive Angry

What can you say about Drive Angry? It's a heck of a lot better than Drive. I'm a huge Nicolas Cage fan and the majority of the films hes been in, I've enjoyed -- even The Wicker Man. While watching this movie you have to suspend disbelief and simply submerge yourself into the film and accept it for what it is, a modern-day Grindhouse film. Everything about this film screams Grindhouse. It's perfect and it fits absolutely well with the story. Nicolas Cage played John Milton very well. There's lots of action, gore, nudity and a creepy villain, Billy Burke (The only tolerable one in the Twilight Saga.) So if you want to see it, but not sure if you want to spend that much money on the film, wait until it's cheaper or buy it used, because it's absolutely and amazing film.


The Lincoln Lawyer

Matthew McConaughey plays a lawyer who can get you off from just about any crime. He's good and he works out of a Lincoln Town Car. This is a thriller and if you've never seen it, I suggest you get it's worth the watch and worth the price. I've seen this film multiple times and enjoyed it each time I viewed it. So if you like political thrillers then pick this one up and enjoy.

Contagion

I liked this film for a number of reasons -- the actors had no make-up and it makes you want to take a shower. Contagion is a thriller about a virus that starts to spread and now the CDC and the World Health Organization are tyring to find a cure, contain it and find patient number zero. The assembled cast is perfect and the diction is just as brilliant. Contagion is so interesting that you don't know who will die and who will live. This isn't a film that makes it obvious that so-and-so will not die because they're the highest paid actor on the market. In Contagion there's a lot of popular people Kate Wenslet, Gwenith Paltrow, Matt Damon etc., so trying to figure out who will live is irrelevant especially when you're trying to figure out where this virus came from. It's a fun watch and I definitely recommend it.

Tower Heist

Tower Heist is about a group of lowly workers working for a multi-millionaire who squanders their money and their retirement etc. So a few of the employees (and former employees and non-employees) band together to rob their boss and take back the money he had actually stolen. Tower heist is a pretty decent comedy. I thought it was funny and I enjoyed everything about the movie. However, there are some parts that are considered far-fetched and a little to risky even for a movie such as this. Nonetheless, Tower Heist is definitely worth watching.

Super 8

Super 8 is an underrated film. It had Spielberg written all over it -- alien, kids, innocence, kids saving the day etc. I actually enjoyed Super 8, it reminded me of a modern day Sandlot, Stand By Me or The Goonies. However, unlike Sandlot and The Goonies, the characters in Super 8 were not well developed and that's OK for this kind of film. There's a lot of action happening and because of the action you can only do so much character development. In the Sandlot and The Goonies, you actually care for the characters and you're rooting for them. In Super 8 you really don't care to much for the characters except for Elle Fanning's character, you do end up caring for her, but apart from that you really don't care to much for the majority of the characters. Nonetheless, the action and the story literally makes up for lack of character development. I strongly recommend Super 8.

Attack the Block

Attack The Block is a film from England, which I must say is absolutely fun. However, the idea of the kids trying to act "gangster" with a British accent and the tone of their voices an octave or so higher than the gangsters in Los Angeles, kind gives them a -not-so-intimidating kind of feel to the film. Though, I will say apart from the cultural differences the film still sands out and is really fun to watch. The aliens are very unique to be honest kind of creepy if you really think about it because they look like giant bears or something that blacker than black except for their teeth which have a indigo blue glow to it. It's still creepy at times. Nonetheless, the best actors in Attack The Block is Nick Frost (Shawn of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and Paul.) his characters is funny at times. So with that said, if you like aliens mixed with comedy I suggest you take a look at Attack the Block.

Sucker Punch

Sucker Punch was made by Zach Snyder one of my favorite directors respectively on par with J.J. Abrams. Sucker Punch is such an underrated film for a number of reasons: The action, the story, acting, fight scenes, the cinematography, the direction, music score, hot girls and creativity. A lot of viewers hated Sucker Punch for a lot of reasons including the CGI. I, for one, don't mind the CGI. I understand that there are times where CGI is needed and will make the film a lot better. However, if you limit yourself to simply practical effects, there's only so much you can be able to achieve. Like Sucker Punch without the CGI and the beauty it adds to the film, I can not imagine how it would be without the CGI. Sucker punch has such amazing aspects to the film that I fell in love with the movie in general. Some say it's confusing, however, I can agree with that, but when you sit back and ponder over it, you start to realize a number of things and why they happen that way simply because it all takes place in her mind. Again, this movie absolutely underrated.

Battle: Los Angeles

Battle: Los Angeles = Badass! I loved this movie from the moment the film started to roll. I was even more excited that the film came out to DVD just three months after it was released in theaters, which is very rare unless it was a limited release in selective theaters. Everyone who hates this movie always complain about the same thing: the shakiness of the camera and the cliche dialogue. OK, I'll admit sometimes the dialogue is kind of weak, but the shakiness of the camera added to the "realness" of the movie. I felt like I was actually there. Plus this film is suppose to be like a documentary as if someone is filming the alien invasion. If that were to really happen and someone were to follow a group of MARINES around to watch the kill aliens, I can almost guarantee you that it will end up looking like how Battle: Los Angeles turned out to be. Gritty -- shaky cameras -- explosions -- yelling -- cries for help. Battle: Los Angeles had such a simple story line it worked. Hector, the kid of one of the survivors, is a really good actor. When he had his crying scene I was convinced. And again, as I said in many other posts, Michelle Rodriguez is hot and I went to see this movie because of her. Yeah, it's true, but even if she wasn't in it I still would have gone to see it. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears after reading and seeing all the negative reviews about this movie. Are people really little bitches they can't handle a little "motion sickness?" Well me I don't get motion sickness. However, my friend said if you don't focus on that and simply enjoy the movie, you will not notice it very much and you'll notice it for what it is -- a gritty movie, that's trying to sell its self off as a realistic looking film... And it succeeds. So therefore, with that said, I think Battle: Los Angeles is the most underrated film of 2011. So if you haven't seen it because of all the "negative reviews" about it, watch it for yourself and decide.

Five Most Underrated Movies Of 2011:

  1. Battle: Los Angeles
  2. Sucker Punch
  3. Attack The Block
  4. Drive Angry
  5. Hannah
I hope you enjoyed this review of my Underrated Movies Of 2011. Also, if you haven't seen any of the movies on this list, then be open minded and check it out.

Weekly Recommendations 3/27/2012

  1. Jack Brook's Monster Slayer -- Jack Brook's Monster Slayer is about a guy who loses his family from a monster attack when he was a child. However, after growing up he has fits of rages. He works as a plumber taking night classes. Until one day his professor asks him to come to his to fix a plumbing problem. Well he disturbs ever and the professor becomes a crazy freaky monster consuming the class. Now Jack becomes a reluctant hero and faces his fears. Personally, I enjoyed this movie. There were no CGI (I find nothing wrong with CGI by the way) and it was all practical effects. This movie gives me the feel of House (198?) or Slither. It was funny, although not as fun as Slither and  House, but it works.
  2. Altered -- A group of friends are traumatized from a past experience with an extraterrestrial alien from another planet. Years later, the main character drifts apart from the rest of the group while the others remain friends while they hunt alien down. One night they capture it and bring it to the main characters house, which prompts a series of strange activities as the creature tries to get free. And when it does, it starts its killing spree. For a such a low budget movie from the Blair Witch Project director, it was actually very well done. Nice effects. Great acting. However, I will say this, this film might not be fore everyone so approaches this with your own discretion.
  3. Galaxy Quest -- A group of has-been actors from on old TV show called Galaxy Quest are recruited by an extraterrestrial race, to save their race from an evil alien, when theGalaxy Quest re-runs are mistaken for historical events. This movie is a whole lot of fun! Tim Allen and Sigoruney Weaver and Sam Rockwell are all great actors including some of the others -- especially that alien girl with the black hair, damn she's hot for some strange reason. But this film may have slipped under the radar, but I personally think Galaxy Quest -- actually a parody of Star Trek -- is definitely worth the watch. So if you can find this movie at a local store, check it out. You wont be disappointed.
  4. Pan's Labyrinth -- The princess of the underworld died and is later reincarnated as a child on Earth. She's taken to living with her new stepfather and mother. After arriving she embarks on a journey that takes her to different dimensions, encounters with strange beings and magic! This on my two twenty films of all time. I absolutely love this movie. I always recommend this movie because it's such a great sad story for adults. It's dark and creepy. It gives you hope, yet fear. And it's dark spin on traditional fair tales with fairies, fawns, monsters, magic, fairies etc. It's perfect. If you liked movies such as Labyrinth, Never Ending Story or Don't be afraid of the dark, you'll defiantly want to check this movie out. However, I will point this out, this movies is subtitled. It's a film by director Guillermo Del Torro. I don't mind subtitled films, I love to read too. Then the combination -- reading subtitles and watching a movie -- is the ultimate form multitasking.
  5. Session 9 -- Session 9 is about a cleaning crew that goes to Danvern's State Hospital to remove all the apestos before demolition. However, as they return, strange occurrences start to happen that causes the characters to lose trust and question each other and then go against each other. One of the characters starts to listen to the old recordings of patients that were emitted before it shut down and these recordings literally give you clues, hits and chills after listening to them, because this recordings are the key to the story. This is a movie most people have not heard of. This film is absolutely amazing. When I first saw it, I liked it, however, I didn't think it lived up to all the hype it got. Some said it was scary and others said it wasn't. Nevertheless, when I saw it the second time, I then realized it was extremely creepy and very well written. I can't recommend this movie enough. It's definitely a must see!

Another World (A zombie film)

Synopsis: Five survivors travel through the apocalyptic wasteland trying to survive the zombie apocalypse.

Another World seems like an interesting little film. As a matter of fact it's a foreign film from Israel. Watch the trailer and see for yourself and I guarantee you will be engulfed by the story and how the zombie apocalypse is playing out. I'm about just as excited for this movie as I am for Re-Kill. In the film, there's five characters:

A Colonel, who was once a solder. According to the Another World website, he represents a "political-military-economic establishment, which sees life as a constant violent struggle for power and resources."

Then there's the doctor, who represents "a commitment to love, justice and non-violent struggle against all wrong."

The Wizard, a young adult and "an inventor and autodidact scientist, who looks at life as a puzzle to be solved. He strives to discover, understand and invent, with no thought as to the consequences."

The Daughter is a very casual girl, "sailing through life enjoying every comfort, while ignoring or unaware of bigger and more profound issues."

The Mouse is a "murderer and rapist, evil in the most banal aspect of the world." I can almost guarantee you that he's going to be the reason a lot of people are going to get killed. Rule #3 For Surviving The Zombie Apocalypse: "Kill the asshole before he kills you!"

I'm drawn to this movie because I like movies that have action as well as character development like Orphan for instance, but since they have limited characters and they actually thought out the characters and their personalities, I can't wait to see how Another World unfolds on screen.

Nonetheless, here's the sad thing is just like Re-Kill, there is no release date. both films were suppose to be out in 2011 but they pushed the date forward blah, blah, fuckin', blah. I want to see a new zombie movie already! So until then keep your eyes open for this upcoming zombie flick.
-- Connor Murphy

Movies To Look Out For In 2012

Honestly, to date there really isn't a lot of movies I'm looking forward to this year; however, it's possible that I haven't heard about all of them. Nevertheless, there are eight movies I am definitely looking forward to in the coming months.

Resident Evil -- I know it's obvious I have a love/hate feelings towards Paul W.S. Anderson. I enjoyed a lot of his movies, however, the Resident Evil series have literally been raped by this turd. Therefore, why would I be interested in this new movie? Well it has zombies in it. What more can you say? I will say this -- and I'm mostly speaking to Paul W.S. Anderson even thought he may never read this -- do not, and I repeat, do not just put shit into the film that has no place in it and has not logical or possible origin. I.E. The Ax-Man from Resident Evil 5/Resident Evil: After Life or like the damn prison from that's in Resident Evil: Afterlife in the middle of Los Angeles... That looks like a castle... A castle from Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Damn it Paul there is no prison like that in Los Angeles, it doesn't exist -- it's fictional -- it's wrong -- it's offensive -- you're trying to mind fuck me -- only aliens do such a thing -- you're just a douche bag and keeps raping our wallets and the Resident Evil series.




Total Recall -- I believe this film will be amazing -- it has Collin Ferrel in it, it's bound to be good. From my understanding Total Recall is based on a book and the original movie was loosely based on it. However, the new remake or new installment of Total Recall will be much truer to the book. I'm looking forward to it.
Battle Royale -- This is a remake of at Japanese movie of the same name. It's about a bunch of school kids or Junior high kids who get kidnapped and put into the forest or somewhere to kill each other to stay alive. It sounds very wicked. I have not seen the original, however, I will see it before this remake is released in theaters.
















The Raid -- This movie is going to kick ass. This is a foreign movie involving a S.W.A.T. Team that raids a building infected with degenerates, however, they get locked in and they have to fight their way out. Personally I think this will be an amazing film because lately I've been getting back into martial arts movies. So with that said, yes, I will defiantly be checking this flick out.















Re-Kill -- This movie is a zombie movie -- before you judge it watch the six or twelve minute trailer it's amazing! The premise surrounds a special ops group trained to obliterate the zombie virus. It's been, five years since the zombie virus has wiped out 85 percent of the worlds population. This special ops group finds signs of the outbreak starting again and they're tasked with destroying the virus before it kills the rest of humanity. I believe this film will be amazing and it will definitely be on my "to watch list." Now this film was part of the After Dark Originals, however, the film has so much praise that they postpone the films release in order to give it a better release and long theatrical release sometime in 2012. I personally can't wait.







Prometheus -- Prometheus is a prequel to the Alien franchise. This film shows the origin of the aliens and how the space craft that was seen in Alien and Aliens how it got there and who that giant creature is that was sitting in the seat. Personally, I think this film will be the best and biggest blockbuster of 2012. I've been following this movie for a while trying to find out a release date for it, well it turns out, it's opening on June 8th. I will definitely pre-order my tickets like I did Serenity "burn the land, boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me!" Sorry just had to throw that in there.














World War Z -- Zombies. That's all you need to say to have my attention. I would definitely pre-order my tickets for this movie. This movie is based on a book of the same name -- which I've read -- and it was an amazing read. However, I do have my reservations about the movie. The way the book was written it makes it difficult to see how the movie would work. The book is an oral account of the zombie apocalypse and how we survived, who started it and who should take the blame etc. All you're doing is reading about a guy who goes around interviewing people and getting a wider picture or accounts of what they went through, from average survivors, students, military leaders, politicians and filmmakers etc. Nonetheless, the movie should hold my attention. Now since the main character is Brad Pitt should give the story some credibility since I feel Brad Pitt wouldn't do a movie like that unless it was absolutely worth doing or had a good story.






I hope you enjoyed this list of some of the movies I'm looking forward to. So mark your calenders and get ready.

The Walmart Lady Hit on me!

Ha well this happened a few days ago when I got Dylan Dog etc. I after sending about an hour -- yes, an hour looking through movies and the five dollar bin, I decided to leave. As I was at the checkout stand, this older lady I'd say mid-forties or so, white, not to tall started scanning my DVDs. Well she saw on of my DVDs and said, "Are you old enough to watch these movies?" I said, "Yeah, off course." Then she said, "How old are you?" I gave her my age "And she said, "Mmm, I see... You're not watching them alone are you?" And at this point I realized this was the longest conversation I've ever had with a cashier, so I said, "Yeah. Most likely." Then her punch line was, "You don't have to... There's always someone willing to watching 'em with you." And and a little smirk hit her face. Personally I thought it was funny so I just smiled and said, "I'll keep that in mind." Then I walked away. I glanced back and she was still looking at me and that's the end of my Walmart adventure. This is why I always say weirdos always come out at night... It's in their nature!

Fringe: "A Short Story About Love." Episode 15 (3/23/2012)

This episode of Fringe is about a man who targets his victims based on love. I first must start off by saying Fringe is a deep TV show and there are different layers to this case, which leads to the bigger picture. I will try to be as through as possible to illustrate how this episode reveals a major piece of the puzzle.

If you're a long time follower of the show you'll be familiar with what's about to be said. However, there's those who are not familiar or may be just getting into Fringe. At the end of Season 3 Peter Bishop was transferred into limbo -- a place of chaos, or nonexistence. Then at the beginning of Season 4 a couple of episodes into this season Peter returns to a timeline. It then appears that Peter is on a different timeline as he tries to figure out ways to return back to his timeline and back to his "Olivia" (Actually my Olivia).

Now this episode of Fringe reveal a major piece of the puzzle and this peace is Peter never actually left his timeline. This is brilliant. Let me explain what happen. If you have a person you love and you had someone erase that person that means the people in control would have to erase every aspect of that person including the memories of that person you love. What would be the repercussions of this act? This person you loved influenced you and others around him and those he interacted with. He may have gave someone hope, made someone try to be a better person, or simply put a smile on someones face, which caused them to do a "random act of kindness" for another person. So if this person was wiped off the face of the Earth -- no longer existed -- then all the people he interacted with would actually be different people and make different decisions.

This is what is happening in the Fringe universe, because Peter was erased everyone changed. Walter was checked out by Olivia instead of Peter. Peter had died years ago. Agent Lincoln Lee is geeky and actually more active in this version of time than in the original timeline. Walter is agoraphobic. And keep in mind Peter being erased doesn't just effect our universe, it effects the alternate universe, because in the original timeline or version of time our universe was at war with the alternate universe. Because Peter didn't exist, they're in alliance. Why would this be? Because the reason our universe was in conflict with the other universe, was because Walter crossed over and took a young Peter and brought him over her. Now since Peter was erased, Walter never crossed over and Walternate (Walter's alternate self) isn't angry at his alternate self.

Now the interesting thing is Olivia is having memories of things she's never had. It was proposed that she's having or fusing with another Olivia from an the original timeline, which is the reason why she's having memories she can't recall and she's forgetting the memories she had when Peter was erased. Now, why is this happening? Because the Observer said "I have a theory because the people who cared about you couldn't let you go and you them, it kept you from being completely erased. I think this is what you humans call 'Love.'" Of course I'm paraphrasing it but he said that is in so many words. With that said it means this: Because Olivia, Walter, Walternate, maybe Broyles, Astrid et. all care about Peter and some loved him, and this is the same for Peter, he loved them, their loved for each other prevented Peter from being completely erased.

Now is Olivia losing her mind? Absolutely not because if you seen the movie It's A Wonderful Life, you'll see that the main character said something about wishing he was dead. An angel showed him how life would be if he were dead or never existed and everything was worst. This made it him appreciate life even more. With that out there, the reason Olivia never knew Peter or had no memory of him was because he was erased from the timeline and so was the love and feelings she had for him and that goes for everyone else who knew Peter. But since deep down the loved him and he loved them, and Peter actually returned into the timeline he was always on, he's starting to influence and touch peoples lives again. So in other words Peter returning to his universe caused everything to slowly return to normal. Olivia getting her memories back. Walter becoming more caring etc.

So let me try and make it more clear. Because Peter returned to the timeline from limbo this set in motion a set of events that would put the timeline back in place and cause everything to slowly return to normal. His return slowly caused Olivia to realize she knew him from somewhere. And because she's starting to get her old memories back from a time when Peter influenced her, her new memories -- memories from a world where Peter didn't exist -- would vanish because Peter offset everything and cause her old memories to return. This should be happening to everyone, but Olivia is the one in love with Peter.

Another thing I would like to point out is, the reasons why Peter thought he was in a different timeline. He believed this because he no one knew him and everything was virtually different. However, when Olivia started to get her old memories of Peter back, the universe started to unfold differently now that Peter was in the universe influencing people etc. leaving his mark in the world.

So at the end of Season 3 Peter went missing Peter was in Limbo caught in between two universe or caught between existing and nonexistence. So I hope this helps you understand the world of Fringe. It's such an engaging TV show and I look forward to it every week. Also, even thought I know this is a Film Rant, I'll still rate this episode of Fringe. Four starts out of Five!
