  • Canadian Version is Pretty Good

    I was skeptical after seeing the American remake of Shameless and it being such a rip off of the original Brit series. I just knew that a Syfi, Canadian remake of Being Human had to be even worse then if it was a US remake.

    I have to admit that I was pleased. I also saw the Brit version online and loved it. I am hungry for season 3. I really didn't want to see another shameless rip off and I didn't. Yeah granted there are some similarities to the original and that's a good thing in my opinion. It means the writers will come up with original scripts for this show.

    I'm hopeful this series. One detractor though is that I'm almost guaranteed not to get any cussing or nudity like in the British version. I really think this show is more a Showtime cable for the rated R crowd not the PG-13 set. So I hope they will give us some grit in future episodes. I mean for god sake its a Vamp and Wolf TV show.

  • Overdone To the Max

    First off let me say that I used to live where this movie was filmed and its some what like that but this movie is madness maxed out. Its really not like that. They show these people has having no humanity what so ever. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Bad things do happen but when u live in a neighborhood no matter how down trodden the people are still your neighbors. You have to live with those people. They show crackheads as just animals with no souls. Its not true.

    Another reviewer said that it was unreal because the transgender character was beautiful. He's obviously not been around many trans women or seen many. There are some trans women who are absolutely stunning like the character in this film.

    Again this movie is gritty but its sensationalism. I also resent that the only redeemable characters are white people. All the black men are barbaric and the white are more docile. This is not true. I'm sick of seeing this mess in films.

  • Eddie Hates Himself

    Yet another display of Eddie Murphie's disdain for Black women. Especially if that Black woman is Dark Skinned. Nearly every movie I've see Eddie make has the Big, Fat and Ugly woman be dark skinned where the acceptable and desirable woman is a light skinned Black woman with long hair. I'm sick of seeing this. Eddie needs to switch up his formula. Every movie he makes is the same premises, the main character is trying to escape some ugly parody of a dark skinned black woman and attempting to win the light skinned woman. This is cooning at its worst. Plus I'm sick of seeing Black men in drag the joke is long since worn out.
