Win Ben Stein's Money was a novel concept for a game show: contestants compete with each other and the host in a trivia contest to win some or all of the host's $5000. The show will always be memorable for me as the only game show I can stand to watch. Most game shows are too serious to be enjoyable, and those that aim to be more entertaining are usually too obvious and cheesy.
Putting Ben Stein and Jimmy Kimmel together made this show different. Ben, aside from being very smart, is a very funny man. His boring monotone turned him into an icon through roles in Ferris Bueler's Day Off and The Wonder Years. He has the perfect voice for the crude humour of Win Ben Stein's Money. You can't help but laugh when this intelligent, dignified, expressionless and utterly uncool-looking old man swears at the judges, flips Jimmy the bird or knocks over a safe.
Jimmy Kimmel was clearly chosen to create an "Odd Couple" contrast to Ben. He has raised the bar for shockingly inappropriate comments from a game show host.
The questions are interesting, the topics are hilarious, and it's great fun to see a host actually compete with the contestants. You have to watch the end to see if Ben wins or loses. Giving Ben a vested interest in the outcome of the game adds great entertainment value because the competition brings out the best and worst in him. Truly a delightful game show experience.

This review is aimed at fans of Firefly, the television show that this movie is based on. If you didn't watch the show, you probably won't get anything out of this review. I will simply say that you will enjoy this movie. It portrays a realistic possible future and is full of action, violence and suspense. The story is compelling, and has some scary moments as well. It will be a great adrenaline rush.
If you are a fan of Firefly, you'll have to see the movie, but it will be difficult to watch. Many of the unanswered questions will finally be explained. You'll gain a new perspective on the show and Joss Whedon's vision, but you may have trouble ever watching the show again once you know how the story ends. I am including two levels of spoiler warning so that you can decide how much you want to know.
*** SPOILER WARNING: MEDIUM *** No plot information, but information about the characters.
Some of the main characters die, and it's not easy to watch. I've heard rumours that there will be two more movies, and maybe there will be. In an age full of television shows that shouldn't be made, a growing number of excellent shows are being cancelled prematurely. Firefly was barely given a chance, but it is gaining a cult following through syndication and a DVD release of the entire series. Family Guy, another FOX show, successfully returned to the airwaves, and I had hoped that the success of the DVDs and movie would lead to new episodes of Firefly. How can it ever be a show again without all of the crew? I don't think Joss Whedon intends his creation to ever be a television show again.
The information in the next spoiler explains my point in greater detail and mentions characters specifically. I recommend only reading it if you have already seen the movie.
*** SPOILER WARNING: HIGH *** Individual characters discussed
Whenever a television show becomes a movie, the need for action means that some characters are underused, or aren't free to be what they normally are. Firefly was full of thought and humour, and much of it came from Inara's work as a companion. Serenity is an action movie, so Inara's character suffers. There's no time to go off on her own to entertain clients. That means the feel of the story is entirely different. This is not an episode of Firefly.
Shepherd Book and Wash die in this movie. To see the most gentle and positive characters die will be very difficult for any fan. You can understand why I say that Firefly can't return to television now. Book is the moral center for the crew. Without him, they really are just thieves. Wash is the counter-balance to Zoe and Mal. He is the comic relief; the man who plays with toy dinosaurs on the bridge of a space ship. He's not a soldier; not a fighter. He allows Zoe to be feminine and creates sympathy for the crew. Without these two characters, Kaylee is the only lighter character left. The characters who remain are the soldiers, the mercenary, the psychic killing machine and the prostitute. I don't say this to be hard on the surviving characters. Each one filled an important role when they made up a whole. They represent the best and worst sides of humanity. Without Book and Wash, the picture is incomplete. They don't complement each other any more. You can't turn this franchise into anything more than an action movie without replacing them. I no longer expect new episodes, and I worry about what sort of stories might be created for the next two movies.
When the movie ended, no one stuck around to watch the credits. I was left full of sadness and disappointment. Normally a movie ends with an uplifting victory that carries you happily into the night. All I could think about was, "why did these characters die?", and getting home to write this review. If you've read this, you still need to see the movie. Just be prepared to be saddened by what you see.

There is no more natural preoccupation than death. Everyone is aware that they are going to die but no one knows precisely what death is. We all come to terms with our mortality in our own way. Most of us try to think about death as little as possible, choosing denial. Some turn to religion for comforting beliefs about death, others embrace a "death culture", as Goths do. A very small number of people embrace death to the extent that cadavers become sexually attractive to them.
Kissed is a beautiful story about a young woman named Sandra who explores death through necrophilia. When Matt, a fellow student she becomes romantically involved with, becomes infatuated with her he desperately tries to understand her and to incorporate himself into her necrophilic lifestyle.
They both, each in their own way, use the powerful nature of love and lust to explore their feelings about death.
The acting is both professional and believable and the audience can relate to the complex characters even though none of us is ever likely to personally experience such a bizarre situation. Even when Matt's need to be loved by Sandra makes him strange and frightening, the story only feels more familiar when we realize how much we have changed ourselves for lovers. Isn't life about finding someone to love before the time is up?
The sex and nudity are artistic, not pornographic. I went away from this movie feeling like I had witnessed something important and special. It may be disturbing at times, but Kissed is never revolting. I would not have believed that a movie about this subject matter could be so beautifully and sensitively made. If you ever find yourself anxious about death or plan to die someday, I highly recommend this passionate exploration of our most primal fear.
