Roswell Season 1

Andrew: This show was...interesting. It was a complete melodrama. Realistically, it is how some teens treat their own relationships. My problem with the show is the really do have a great concept for an interesting sci-fi show, but instead they focus so much on the high school relationships it takes away from the show overall. It is made for the high-school target audience. Be warned.
4/10
P.S. I have watched the first few episodes of the second season and seems far more promising that the previous.

Zeb: The first season of Roswell seemed a little cheesy in the beginning. It was very reminiscent of Dawson's Creek with all of its relationship dramas, but it mellowed out some near the end of the season. The sci-fi in the show it kinda bad, but keep in mind it was made in the late nineties and they didn't have the CGI that they have today. I did enjoy the show overall though and I found the concept quite interesting. It is about a teenage girl who lives in Roswell, New Mexico and finds out that there are a trio of aliens that attend her school. It centers mainly around the five characters (one of them being Katherine Heigl, whose name is Izzy in this show too! Coincidence?) and their relationships as they go through a year in their life. The end of the season was pretty good and hooked my interest for season 2. After watching just the first episode of the second season, I have a feeling the next season will be a much better harmony between drama, comedy, and sci-fi.

Veronica Mars

Zeb:
Thanks to Netfilx through our xbox, I have watched quite a few older TV shows this summer. Veronica Mars was one of those. I decided to try it since I like Kristen Bell and the premise of the show sounded interesting. It is about a high school girl (Bell) that helps her dad in his private investigation business. It is a little hard to believe as it's actually happening in real life and slighty cheesy, but all around I thought it was a really good show. It is kind of a bummer because the end of the third season just leaves you hanging with so many loose ends for the next one that they never got to do. I really enjoyed the cast of the show and since it was produced by the same guy who did party down, Rob Thomas, it has A LOT of the same people! Each season pretty much has one huge case that she is trying to solve throughout it, and there are small little cases every episode. It is a little drama filled and does revolve a lot around relationships (especially third season), so be forewarned if you don't like that kind of thing. I would recommend this show to others, but do know it has its unbelievable moments.
 9/10

Andrew:
Zeb really said it all. I came in a few episodes into the first season and was completely lost at first. It really isn't a show you can just pick up and watch without viewing the previous seasons. Be forewarned you will have to suspend your disbelief because many aspects of the show are kind of ridiculous. Kristen Bell does a great job despite being a 24-27 year old playing a 16-19 year old. She is very much like Ellen Page in Juno in that she is very quick witted. Plus, I love the theme song. On a side note, one of the reoccurring characters is totally the kid from Kazaam!
7/10
Oh, and by the way...

Inception

Andrew:
This movie was really good! I was really worried going in that the movie would be confusing, but it really was fairly clear. It really did a great job of combining action elements with thriller ones. Leonardo DiCaprio really is an amazing actor. Everyone else was very solid in the movie. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone and truly believe everyone should see it once.
8/10

Zeb:
I was definitely excited to see this movie; the previews were very enticing since they gave very little away. I thought they did a great job with it! It started off a little confusing with the whole idea of dream sharing, but they quickly caught you up and and brought you into their world. I think that Leonardo DiCaprio was great and his supporting cast did fantastic as well. I am a huge Ellen Page fan since Juno, and I was excited that she had such a large part in the movie. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch an action/drama/suspense movie!
